Customized Itinerary Planning and Hotel Selection

We will design an itinerary based on your interests and budget.

The first step: getting to know you. Let us know your preferences: your ideal types of accommodations, any sites and cities that you would like to visit, your budget, the length of time that you have, and the pace at which you would like to travel and explore.

Spain Trails’ deep knowledge of Spain is one of our strongest assets. We are committed to putting together the best possible experience for you in our country. To this end, we will give you a service of travel consultancy where we will put together a proposal with a suggested itinerary, recommended hotels and activities that will enrich your tour. We work with you in order to provide you with the best program based on your preferences.

Let us help you plan the trip of your life!

Testimonials

  • Hotels in just the right spot made touring through the city easy.  In Barcelona we were five minutes from the Gothic Centre and five minutes from the beach if we wanted to relax. Tarragona was very interesting. The Hotel, Mas La Bella, was out of the town, but so beautiful we took the opportunity to eat there (wonderful meals if a bit pricy). Finally Gerona was the perfect ending.  We were ten minutes from the town centre, which is the most beautiful medieval  city I have ever seen.

    Warren & Johanne, Canada

Transportation in Spain

Rental Car (Self-Drive) or Private Driver

Two possible options:

Rental Car (Self-Drive): You will pick up the rental car at the nearest rental car desk on the first day you will be driving and you should return it on the second last day. We will transfer you from the airport to the hotel on the day of your arrival and from the hotel to the airport on the day of your departure.

Private Driver: Our private driver will drive you around the country. The private driver service is valued around 400 Euros to 500 Euros per day. The final price will be calculated based on your specific itinerary.

Whichever your choice, we will arrange it.

Testimonials

  • Your tips regarding the car rental, transponder and road tolls were very helpful. The GPS was accurate.

    Bob and Bev Mackenzie, Canada
  • All the drivers were so punctual, polite and took us safely to the various destinations. They were both highly professional, knowledgable, friendly, nice and gave a lot of themselves. I don't think they could be very much better!...

    Anne, Norway

Pre-Programmed GPS

Five clicks to every destination

As part of our self-drive tours, we will provide you with a GPS which will be pre-programmed according to your itinerary on a day-by-day basis. You will not have to be a technology expert, nor have to enter by hand any city names, addresses or coordinates, either.

All you have to do is to start the engine, turn on the GPS and be prepared to enjoy your day with just a few clicks of the GPS.

Self-drive has never been so easy.

Testimonials

  • It was wonderful to have all the information you gave us as well as a route to follow. We were very glad to have the GPS system and Art says he'd recommend it to anyone unfamiliar with the cities in Portugal.

Personalized Roadbook

Tips, suggestions and directions based on your interests and specific itinerary

Our Roadbooks are produced individually with each client and itinerary in mind. They include not only a daily itinerary, but also practical advice, helpful tips and suggested stops that we think you will enjoy. (see a sample)

Each Roadbook is unique and irreplaceable since it is designed with YOUR program, preferences and interests in mind. You will love all the well-kept secrets that our enthusiastic team has included: out-of-the way places, breathtaking sights, hidden treasures, and great spots for a meal known only to the locals.

Let us create a personalized trip for you.

Testimonials

  • Excellent resources! The Roadbook was customized to our itinerary, with nice little pieces of advice regarding local restaurants dishes, and specialties. Great directions and pictures were very helpful.

    Anthony da Silva, Canada
  • The roadbook was of particular help. Whenever we were at a loss, there was always a suggestion that helped fill the gap or answer a question.

    Marianne Malague, USA

Exclusive Guidebook

Our 300 page “Insiders Guide”

Spain Trails has written and produced its own guidebook, which will be included in your tour documents. While other guide books will provide you with too many options, ours was written by our team, and the included information was selected based on our insiders’ knowledge of Spain. (see a sample).

Explore Spain as a local.

Testimonials

  • We particularly enjoyed your ‘insider’ tips in both the Guidebook and the Roadbook. Your passion for the country comes through loud and clear which really enhanced our trip and gave us a better perspective than we could have gotten from any of the big name guidebooks.The bottom line is that we had a much better trip with Portugal Trails than we would have had left to our own resources.
