Reviews

We have just finished our tour with our excellent driver, Cosmin. Cos was superb in every way! He made sure we kept to our schedule, personally introduced us to each host at the wineries, checked us into our hotels and assisted us at all times with our luggage and purchases. Cos has a delightful demeanor, and his knowledge of the region, wineries and culture was very informative. Wine Tourism Spain’s selection of wineries gave us a good overview of the two regions from small family owned wineries to the bigger production ones. The lunchesl were gourmet delights! The Laguardia hotel in the walled city was a real treat! Thank you for your attention to each and every detail!

My husband and I were looking to include Ribera del Duero and Rioja in our 2-week trip to Spain. We feel quite lucky to have found this tour through Wine Tourism Spain. Our guide was very professional, interesting and knowledgeable. And we loved that we did not have to worry about driving and could enjoy the amazing wines. Everything was well planned and top quality. We would definitely recommend this private tour.

Highlight of our trip! The price seemed expensive at first but almost everything was included, the quaility was excellent and we did not have to worrry about a thing. The wineries were very different & everyone was very nice. Could not have asked for more.

As to feedback for Hugo, we all thought he was fantastic. He worked perfectly with us. He was knowledgeable, polite, funny, punctual and knew when was good to give us information and when was good to leave us on our own. We had a truly wonderful trip and have already recommended you to our friends.
