We had a wonderful weeklong trip to Portugal, from Porto to Lisbon. It’s a beautiful country with a rich history and very friendly people! The tours/experiences were organized by Espiritu Travel and were extra special because the guides were so knowledgeable, engaging and great storytellers. We would give them all FIVE STAR ratings! They went beyond by being considerate of how my husband was feeling since he had knee and back surgeries within the last six months. At times the hilly streets posed a walking challenge.    We loved the cooking class in Porto and now have a few Portuguese recipes we can serve guests. The Fado evening in Lisbon was really enjoyable — music was beautiful, dinner was delicious and it was within walking distnce of our hotel! The Duoro Valley River cruise offered breathtaking views of steeply terraced vineyards. Our hotel room in Coimbra was a delightful surprise - it included a Roman relic! Espiritu Travel put the week's itinerary on their travel app which worked very well. If there were any changes to the schedule -- meeting locations, contact info for the guides -- it was updated instantly. Overall, it was a grand adventure!

Marina organized the perfect hotels and tour guides. The drivers took us to places we would never have seen or experienced. They were very personable. Our driver in Madeira was singing ABBA songs for us!

We booked a trip to Italy with Rita Pagano. She handled our entire trip from start to finish. We gave her a budget and things we wanted to do/see. She provided us with an itinerary that was beyond our expectations! Our itinerary included various day trips and excursions with private drivers. All our drivers and tour guides were kind, funny & extremely knowledgeable. Each day we were excited to experience something new! Rita did an outstanding job! She even made herself available to us when we had a simple question while in Italy. The response time was immediate! I would highly recommend Espiritu Travel & Rita Pagano!

The guides for our tours in Bilbao, Picos De Europa, Rioja, and San Sebastian were fantastic. Highly recommend the private guided visit at the Guggenheim, the Cares Trail/4x4 adventure in Picos, the Rioja wine experience with Diego, and the San Sebastian Bike excursion with Inigo and Go Local Tours.

My husband and I had a great experience with your company. Karin was so helpful and responsive. Our guide Darian was upbeat and very accommodating. The local guides were very sweet and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, my husband and I had some recent physical limitations so we needed to rest more than usual and not do a lot of walking. So, Darian made sure that was included in our tour. We felt it was very important to do what we could to support the Cuban people and were happy to not stay in the government supported hotels.

Our guide,Alejandro Arencibia was just wonderful. Kind, knowledgeable, funny, and took our safety to heart. We adored him. Cuba was fascinating. Noisy, stinky, loud, charming and beautiful in its own way. Everyone we met was lovely. Maria, Isabelle,in Havana were delightful. Had a grand time

I was extremely pleased with the service we received from Espiritu. To begin with, the app they use to create the itinerary is amazing. It is thorough and easy to use. Each time we had a question or issue - we would send a text and the response time was immediate. This is super helpful when you are in a foreign country and you don't know what to do! The itinerary itself was flawless - not too little and not too much. We felt like we had a good balance of activities and downtime. I would definitely use Espiritu again - Marta was fantastic at creating a trip that met our needs!

Cannot say enough about our experience! Karin was excellent at walking us through the entire process with email, phone calls and some hand-holding when we needed it. Our guide, Darian, was so knowledgable, funny and full of energy. He gave us incredible insights not only into Cuba's history and culture but also what it means to be a Cuban citizen. He even hosted us for New Year's Eve at his home - a highlight of the trip - his lovely wife preparing a delicious traditional Cuban meal. Our driver, Jorge, was a consumate and gracious professional. Will defintely be using Espirtu in the future!
