We had an amazing time on our trip to Barcelona and the island of Mallorca. Hector from Espíritu Travel took all of our preferences into account and planned everything perfectly—from hiking and biking to exploring Catalan culture and relaxing on beautiful beaches. I have to say, the Trips Plan app was fantastic. It provided clear directions, helpful suggestions, and even a chat feature in case we had any questions or ran into issues. Both of our hotels were excellent. In Mallorca, ours was nestled in a charming small bay that was simply stunning. We highly recommend Hector and Espíritu Travel for anyone looking to create a seamless and unforgettable travel experience.

From start to finish, we had a great experience with every aspect of our trip. Hector was very helpful in planning the itinerary, providing options and responding to our questions and feedback in a very timely manner. Hector and the team planned every aspect from hotels, tours and transportation. They also proactively communicated with us throughout the trip. We had a wonderful experience throughout the entire process and would highly recommend their service!

What an incredible trip! Our specialist, Hector, and the Espiritu team did a fantastic job coordinating every aspect of our trip and making sure our wishes for great food, memorable activities, and iconic sights were fully realized. Our drivers were outstanding. They made the long drives to and from our destinations truly enjoyable, sharing stories along the way and even teaching us a few language tips. And our guides were exceptional, each one highly professional and engaging, going out of their way to adapt to our interests during the visits. Our trip to Spain would not have been the same if we had done it ourselves.

We contacted Espíritu Travel to plan our 10th-anniversary trip to Portugal, and from the outset, the experience exceeded our expectations. Giorgia provided a wide range of thoughtful options and, after learning our preferences and dislikes, designed an itinerary that perfectly matched what we were looking for. Every detail of the trip was seamless and memorable — from our wonderful guided walk in Lisbon and an unforgettable Fado dinner, to our fantastic driver who kept us entertained during our excursion to Sintra and our transfer to Porto, with beautiful stops along the way. Having consistent, reliable support throughout the trip made the experience feel effortless and personal with their app. The app contained so much helpful information, so we were able to make the most of each day. The Espíritu Travel team checked in with us regularly to make sure everything was going smoothly and to answer any questions. When we encountered a minor issue at hotel check-in in Évora on a Sunday, we contacted the hotel, and it was resolved in under 5 minutes—an impressive level of responsiveness and care. Our walking tour in Porto was excellent, and the thoughtful anniversary surprises arranged along the way made the celebration feel truly special. The team also provided a self-guided plan for Madeira which helped us discover some incredible sights at our own pace.

Everything about our trip was beyond amazing....The hotels in both Madrid and San Sebastian were perfectly located and our walking food tour with Diego was spot on. I highly recommend Espiritu....the communication and attention to detail is top notch.

We booked a trip to the Canary Islands and a bit disappointed in communciation. We were originally told that we would be picked up at our hotel for all activities but then after we arrived, instructed that we would have to take taxi to pick up locations for many of our activities. Pick up times at our hotel were incorrect for every activity except one. We arrived at designated pick up point for one activity and the bus never arrived. We were told that the bus was there but we think that we saw it drive away 5 minutes early and almost a block away from pick up point. For our last day, we were being picked up at hotel for a full day hike. We arrived outside of hotel and found that the pick up time on our itinerary was 30 minutes after the scheduled pick up time on driver itinerary. Fortunately they waited for us. We also found out that they had a completely different itinerary than what we were expecting. We were not hiking and actually did a beautiful drive around the island. The guides that we had on this trip were fantastic but the communication with Espiritu was terrible.

We had a wonderful experience with Espíritu Travel when booking our recent trip to Italy. Our travel specialist, Manuela, was incredibly helpful during both the planning phase and during the trip itself. Communication was prompt and insightful. Manuela was able to curate an itinerary that was tailored to what we were looking for as a party of 5. During the trip we used the Trip Plans app, which made it very easy to see our schedule in full, names and contacts of our drivers/guides, and electronic tickets, etc. I would highly recommend Espíritu to anyone looking to book a visit to Italy!

There are two facets of our experience with Espiritu that really stand out: flexibility and quality. The flexibility came in planning our trip. We were traveling with family, some of whom had tighter budget constraints than others. When our original estimate came in a bit higher than anticipated, the planning team was very helpful in suggesting/finding activities that could be cut while ensuring key foundational elements stayed intact. And not only intact, but of the highest quality. We stayed at hotels in Porto and Lamego, both of which were exceptional. Our cruise up the Douro River was wonderful - the scenery was breathtaking. But the absolute highlight of our entire trip was the day-long tour of the Douro Valley which included a private boat tour, two wine tastings and a traditional lunch at a local restaurant. Our guide was personal and knowledgable, a delight to be with. The day was truly magical. We do not have another trip in mind in the immediate future. But when we do begin planning, it is highly likely that Espiritu will be involved.
