- BARRY & LISA
Thank you Charlie and the team at WYT for what was an incredible and flawless trip through Spain and Portugal! We truly appreciate the time and care you put into getting to know us and developing an appreciation for what we were looking for. The planning upfront was extensive and resulted in a very special experience. Every aspect of our vacation, from planes/trains/automobiles to private guides, event tickets, hotels and special meals resulted in a trip we will never forget. You took all of the stress of travelling away and allowed us to truly enjoy and experience the many cities and towns we visited. Of special note was the level of professionalism from each of the guides/drivers that helped us along the way. It ensured we both saw so many wonderful sites and also learned the significance of each. Again, thank you so much - we have already referred your company to friends!
- ROBIN
Overall the trip was excellent. It was well organized with no real glitches. The private drivers, guides, tours, sites and hotels were all beyond expectation. We thoroughly enjoyed our private chauffeurs, their thoughtfulness and knowledge as we drove from city to city. The guides as well were all excellent! Also, the people everywhere were amazing…friendly, thoughtful, willing to share their favorite places…we loved the people! We thank you for an excellent trip. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
- SUE
Taking into consideration that we were two senior couples traveling together, with different styles and expectations, I would affirm without any doubt that the complexity of itinerary requirements was handled most adeptly by the Wish You Travels team. Our trip to Spain and Portugal, was nothing short of spectacular! The planning phase of this adventure was critical to the overall success and our travel agent was instrumental in helping us develop a truly tailored experience that matched our needs and desires. Our agent’s in depth understanding of the venues and facilities, coupled with his incredible selection of tour guides, drivers, and hotels was were instrumental. Just as important was his counsel and flexibility to ensure our every need and desire were addressed. The detailed planning and coordination caused all of these moving parts to fit together seamlessly. This planning and coordination effort was complemented by the Wish You Travels Team who were always available (including a 24/7 emergency number) to make adjustments during the trip. Every single member of the team we dealt with were absolutely terrific. The hotels (including staff) we stayed in were absolutely perfect, tour guides were knowledgable and responsive to our information needs, and the recommended restaurants were wonderful. Overall, we could not have asked for a better trip. Wish You Travels support completely exceeded our expectations. Many, many thanks to our agent and the team at Wish You Travels for their OUTSTANDING work in supporting this magnificent trip.
- BETH
It was a total pleasure to work with our Wish You Travels agent. She thought of unique and interesting activities and everything was a pleasure. The planning process was done with a series of phone calls, which allowed us to adjust and add activities. The results were very satisfying. During our trip, I would say that there were many highlights: our lunch in San Sebastián at a Michelin three-star restaurant, our private tour of the Alhambra, exploring the Spanish countryside, and the hotels and restaurants that Charlie recommended were tip-top.Thank you so much Wish You Travels!
- TARA
Both the trip and the travel company were excellent. The travel company was very responsive to our questions and comments in planning the trip. We enjoyed meeting our travel agent for lunch in Valencia, and we thought that the recommendations for hotels, restaurants, and activities in Valencia, Sevilla, and Cadiz were excellent. We particularly enjoyed the e-bike day trip in Valencia, which included Albufera and an excellent lunch of paella on the beach. Our guide was delightful. Other highlights were the hammam and cooking class in Sevilla. We enjoyed our tour of Cadiz and thought that the location of our hotel was perfect. If we could have stayed longer in Spain, we would have spent more time in Valencia. This was our first visit to this city, and we found it and its people truly delightful. We are anxious to return and spend more time hanging out in the park in the old Turia riverbed and visiting the Ciudad de Ciencias and Artes.
- MARY ANN
Our experience with your company went far beyond our expectations! Every detail had been so carefully planned and executed that we were just thrilled! We had been to Barcelona briefly & to Madrid previously, but had never experienced Southern Spain before and were so delighted with that region’s beauty and charm as well. Our itinerary was varied and delightful, your hotel choices were very well done, the local guides amazed us with their wide knowledge & interesting stories, the drivers were all totally competent. AND, it was just a beautiful experience in every way!
- JEFF
Everyone at Wish You Travels was very professional and competent. The guides were on time, very informative, and attentive to our needs. The history in Spain is amazing and, with the exception of Greece and Rome, the buildings and monuments we toured were the oldest we have visited in Europe. We really enjoyed seeing the beautiful landscapes of southern Spain as well. If we you could take our trip again, we would do nothing differently. Thank you Wish You Travels!
- RICHARD
This was an exceptional, personalized itinerary. All of the private guides were very knowledgeable and extremely accommodating to even last-minute requests. However, by far the most exceptional component of the trip were the caring and attentive employees of the Wish You Travels. Our agents were absolutely superb and went way beyond their traditional role as travel agents. They became friends who even assisted me in resolving a medical issue and rescheduling our last flight when a strike closed Gatwick Airport. These people truly had your back and you knew you had local friends who could help you with any issue. The itinerary they planned was spectacular, but their service was off the charts and I have never had better. This trip really has been wonderful! The service on this trip was really highlighted by certain unexpected circumstances and Wish You Travels truly excelled. My 14-course degustation menu with wine pairings at a world-renowned Michelin-star chef’s original restaurant was magnificent! We were fortunate enough that the chef was there and we chatted with him as it was my birthday. Then, when we were leaving, the front desk called me over and said that the chef had left something for me. They handed me a personalized signed copy of his most recent recipe book. It was a great ending to my birthday meal. The rides through all the towns along the coast east and west of San Sebastián were exceptional, as was our guide.
- DIANA
We had a great experience with Wish You Travels. We were a very large group of 40 people gathering for a family reunion and they did a nice job of helping us to plan and make the trip memorable. The planning process was easy and I loved working with our travel agent. She was very easy to work with, responsive, and tried to accommodate all of our needs. We had three generations in our group, ranging in age from one to 80, so we had to take into account all of the needs of the various travelers. Our agent helped with planning all of that. There were a couple of hiccups while on our trip, but she and the rest of the team were readily available to help solve the problems. The 40 of us traveled in a 65-person tour bus from Porto to Santiago, Oviedo, and then, finally, San Sebastián. The bus was very nice and it was a comfortable way to travel. It allowed us all to be together while going from place to place. The day trips to places like Biarritz, Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Castro Urdiales, and Zumaia were nice. Wish You Travels also gave good recommendations for restaurants, which was very helpful. I think we tried to pack too much into our schedule and it became too tiring near the end. It’s hard because we all wanted to see as much as we could. If I could do it over again, I would trust a bit more our travel agent (who tried to reduce the number of places we visited for a greater comfort)! Also, for such a large family with different interests, I would allow for more free time to explore on one’s own instead of sticking to the tour guides. Overall, we all enjoyed the trip! Thank you Wish You Travels!
- MONICA
We recently returned from a fabulous trip to Spain, planned by our agent from Wish You Travels. She was amazing to work with!! She was so attentive and helpful! Charlie and I communicated by phone and email for a couple of months to plan every aspect of the trip. My husband and I were traveling with our four children, ages 22-13, and we wanted to ensure that everyone would be happy with the locations and activities. Charlie made great recommendations for hotels, restaurants, day-trips, and also planned every last detail like private transportation and personal tour guides. The entire trip was seamless, and it was such a relief to not have to worry about the details. We spent 12 days in Spain, visiting Barcelona, the Costa Brava region, Santiago and Madrid. Every hotel was wonderful! Beautiful rooms, fabulous complimentary breakfasts, and convenient locations. All our personal guides were knowledgeable, friendly and fun to spend time with! We could not have asked for a better trip! We would book with Wish You Travels again in a heartbeat! In Barcelona, we loved the city tour, including La Sagrada Familia Basilica. Montserrat and the Ignatius cave were highlights for us Catholic pilgrims, but we also loved the medieval towns of Besalu and Girona! Costa Brava (and the view from the Hotel San Jorge) was breathtaking!! Santiago was our favorite! It is so “old-world”, with many beautiful churches and buildings. We loved the architecture and history tour with Sandra! The Cathedral and Museum were just amazing, and we loved all the stories Sandra shared with us about the culture and history of Santiago. We met pilgrims completing the Camino de Santiago in front of the Cathedral and were able to listen to their stories of completing their journey! So memorable! We also loved Muxia. The Atlantic coastline and Our Lady of the Boat church were glorious! Next we headed to Madrid by train! If I could plan the trip again, I would only travel to 3 cities, not 4, so we could spend more time in each city. I would travel by train as much as possible and end day-trips around 2 pm in order to allow more time for rest.
- JOLIE
I am so thankful to Wish You Travels for helping me plan my trip to Portugal with my best friend. This trip far exceeded my expectations. Our travel agent was quick to all my questions and provided excellent advise in helping to make sure that we got to see everything we wanted. Our goals were to see as much as possible and not wait in any lines. She gave us options and really listened to what we wanted. A couple days before our trip, we learned there might be an airport strike and she quickly helped to make changes to our schedule in case we were delayed. She alleviated my concerns and our trip ended up even better than I'd hoped. We spent two weeks in Portugal, starting in Porto, then to Lisbon and finally the Algarve. All of our hotels were perfect (with breakfast included) and the locations were centrally located, but quiet at night so we could get some rest. Some of our most favorite days were our hike into the Douro Valley, which was breathtaking, followed by a boat cruise, lunch and wine tasting. Also, our day trip to Sintra to see Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleria followed by a late lunch in Cascais was awesome! Another highlight was kayaking in the Algarve sea caves- wow, just beautiful and so much fun. Every day seemed better than the day before. We were so fortunate to have the same driver throughout our trip, Tiago. He was wonderful and so much more than our driver. He was easy and fun to talk with, and gave us great ideas. We were so sad to say goodbye to him and hope that we will see him again. Throughout our trip, every guide was on time, even our 3:15 am pick up to go back home! Every part of our trip was really perfect and I'm so thankful that we didn't have to figure everything out on our own. Having Wish You Travel as a local expert allowed us to see so much of Portugal and come home feeling like we got to do everything we wanted. I hope that I get to go back to Portugal and/or see Spain soon. I will 100% use Wish You Travels again.
- DIANA
Thank you for putting together an interesting and enjoyable trip which included many memorable moments. Lalo: it was all you promised and more. It was truly an extraordinary experience in Portugal and Spain. We are delighted we took your advice and included Porto on our itinerary – one of the highlights of the trip – everywhere we went and every single thing we did was memorable. Sintra was simply unforgettable, and we are pleased we got the opportunity to visit. Sunset on Sagres Cliffs was a special moment. We loved Cordoba, the Mosque, and the beautiful patios. The visit to the wine cellars in Ribera del Duero were fabulous, they made delicious reds. Also, in Leon and Burgos we were able to meet some locals and discover how friendly and warm the Spanish society is. The outings, the guided tours, the dinners you arranged for us, personal recommendations... were all interesting and enjoyable, many truly memorable. I can't wait to go back to your country! Muchas gracias.
- NAOMI
The trip was wonderful! We were very excited before we came to Spain, but everything exceeded our expectations. Your planning was terrific, and we had no problems at all. We really enjoyed the hotels and the activities you recommended, and the guides made a huge difference from other previous trips we did to Europe. Thank you so much for all your work.
- THOMAS
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed an ambitious 10-day tour organized flawlessly by Wish You Travels. We stayed in wonderful hotels, and we visited really local places. We traveled between destinations mostly by high-speed trains, but in some instances by private car when it was logistically advantageous. The experience working with Wish You Travels to customize the itinerary went smoothly, and attention to detail including minor changes during the actual trip surpassed all expectations. At the end of the trip, we felt we had learned a lot about Spanish history and culture, and we met really warm people. Our guides were knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. Surprisingly, despite having different guides in each location, information about us and some of our interests was also passed from WYT office to each guide to further customize the experience. We could not recommend Wish You Travels more highly and would not hesitate to use them again for another Spain trip.
- MICHAEL
Wish You Travels was the perfect company to plan our vacation to Portugal and Spain. Lalo listened to everything that we wanted and came up with a fabulous schedule and great ideas. We were so impressed with the Spanish Paradores, Sevilla Alcazar, and the fabulous beaches in the Algarve Coast that he recommended. We are glad we followed their advice. Thanks so much.
- GRISELLE
We loved everything you planned for our honeymoon to Portugal and Northern Spain. The guides and drivers were all very personable as well as knowledgeable. The standouts were the cooking experience in Lisbon, the wine tasting and traditional lunch at Douro Valley, and the day trip to Cies Islands in Galicia. We also really enjoyed the historical country house accommodation in Asturias, it was very unique. We had an unforgettable honeymoon, thank you very much.
- DAVID
Overall, the trip itself and Wish You Travels exceeded our expectations, we were very satisfied with our trip. The hotel location and guides were outstanding. The guide in Granada was highly knowledgeable, and assisted us in finding excellent restaurants. The view from the hotel in Ronda was truly picturesque and the location was very convenient. In Portugal, the driver who took us from Porto to Lisbon via Aveiro and Sintra was extremely courteous and patient, in spite of unanticipated crowded road conditions in Lisbon. Also, thanks for recommending us spending our last days of our vacation in this luxury resort at the Portuguese Coast, it was the best way to end a dream vacation. You are the best!
- HELEN
Our trip to Spain was truly incredible! We asked Wish You Travels to provide us with fun adventures, as well as time for relaxation and they sure did deliver! Our travel specialist was so helpful and knowledgeable and was quick to respond to our questions. He took care of any issues that arose and made our vacation run smoothly. We highly recommend this service as they provide access to local adventures that you wouldn't normally come across on your own and every part of our vacation was better than the last! This is the only way we will be booking our travel in the future!
- JOHN
Lalo, Charlotte and the rest of the Wish You Travels team did a phenomenal job planning our trip to Spain. From the first conversation to the last they were friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, creative and a pleasure to work with. They provided a great itinerary with lots of creative ideas and everything came together beautifully. They even provided restaurant recommendations and checked in with us during the trip to make sure everything was going well. That type of service is rare and was very much appreciated. Several guides during our trip were truly exceptional. It makes such a difference when your guide is knowledgeable, personable and a pleasure to be with. In addition, the drivers were all prompt, personable and friendly. One of our favorite days was traveling from Granada to Sevilla. Wish you travels arranged a private driver who picked us up and took us to multiple locations including the Caminito del Rey hike, which was gorgeous and thrilling. We also visited multiple small towns that day, which were picturesque and provided many opportunities for taking pictures and enjoying local foods. We also enjoyed touring Toledo and spending time in Sevilla. The food class and tapas/bar tour were also fantastic. Next time we come back to Spain, we would consider spending more time in Toledo or some of the small and older towns in Spain. We like getting out of the larger cities and enjoying the charm and quiet of small towns.
- CHRISTINE
We just returned from a fantastic trip to Spain, arranged by Wish You Travels. Everything about the trip was exceptional. The drivers met us on time and were so friendly and professional. The guides who actually lived in the areas we visited were very knowledgeable about the history of their particular city and had plenty of interesting stories to tell and recommendations on things to do. We loved the accommodations where we stayed in beautiful, unique boutique hotels which were very comfortable and centrally located. We appreciated the support we were given 24/7 by Lalo, our travel agent, before, during, and after our trip. He contacted us several times during our trip to make sure everything was going well. He did an excellent job of recommending places to visit and things to do, and the restaurants he recommended to us were the best! Everything about our trip was perfect. We highly recommend Wish You Travels! We absolutely loved being able to discover new places such as Granada. We very much enjoyed the food in Spain: so many fantastic restaurants and delicious wines, and so affordable! We stayed in beautiful small boutique hotels and got to know friendly, knowledgeable drivers and tour guides. If we could take our trip again, we can't think of anything we would have done differently. It was perfect.
- BRANDI
Working with Lalo from Wish You Travels was seamless from beginning to end! He always understood my desires and created a trip to fulfill all of our wishes. We made some last minute changes during the trip, and Lalo accommodated us without complaint. All of our guides and drivers were excellent and the hotels were exactly what we were looking for! We especially enjoyed our Foodie walking tour in Madrid, bike tour and Tapas cooking class in Seville. I included a LOT of touring in our itinerary. Spain is beautiful and we learned so much about the history and architecture of the country. Lalo provided us with a mobile app that had all of our plans available in real time and accessible without Wifi. This was a great resource that has never been offered to us before on our many trips abroad. It was a beautiful and busy adventure!
- JEFFMay 2023
This trip was the trip of a lifetime! Lalo helped us to create a wonderful, memorable 30th anniversary trip! From the flights, private drivers, private tour guides to hotels and the itinerary, it was truly amazing. Lalo's attention to detail and his consideration for his clients is superb. He worked with our budget and planned wonderful tours, a Flamenco show, and even a cooking class in Seville! It's a wonderful feeling to know that someone is watching out for you in a country you're not familiar with. Lalo was just a phone call away to answer any questions we had during our trip. He is truly the most responsive, knowledgeable, and personable "travel guide" we have ever dealt with.
- OLIVIAMay 2023
Wish You Travels was the perfect company to work with. They designed a wonderful itinerary for our granddaughter/grandmother trip. Lalo was very resourceful and responsive. Each detail was thoughtfully designed to ensure the perfect experience for my granddaughter. They checked in on us numerous times while traveling and even personally met with us. I was so pleased with our choice. Each tour guide chosen was exceptional as well. We enjoyed the entire experience learning about the history, culture, food and everyday life of Spain. But my favorite was Sevilla. It’s rich history, historic sites and all within walking distance. Our boutique hotel was amazing, bicycle tour, walking tour, Ancient bath house, Flamenco dance and cooking class were all fabulous and fun. We had a great time! I believe our trip was perfect and I really appreciated working with Wish you Travels because they created an itinerary based on what my 18 year old granddaughter would find interesting and fun. Well done!
- GAILMay 2023
I worked directly with Lalo during the entire trip planning process. He was very helpful and thorough at all times and I was very happy with the service he provided. Cordoba was wonderful for its beauty and culture. Maria was a guide who took us through the city and she was very learned and friendly. In fact all of the guides throughout our trip were excellent. It was very helpful to get “a lay of the land” with their help when we first arrived in a city. Then we could go out on our own feeling a little familiarity with our surroundings. The whole north of Spain was another of many highlights. The natural beauty of the Picos de Europa was breathtaking. Having a personal car and driver was great as we had a lot of flexibility in regard to how we organized our time. Our driver also helped us communicate with the locals as our Spanish is very limited. Our private driver was spectacular: we highly recommend him!
- JOE AND HIS FAMILYJune 2023
We are still reeling from our once in a lifetime incredible vacation in Spain! It’s hard to find the words to describe the special momentous experiences that we had on every single day of our trip! This was the very best vacation I have been on and our first time in Europe together as a family! Because we were in unfamiliar territory, having the trip customized by Wish You Travels was invaluable. Working on our itinerary for the weeks leading up to the trip allowed for stress free travel! All we had to do was enjoy every experience! We had excellent transportation and top-notch private tours given by amazing tour guides! We learned so much from our guides who took us on both driving and walking tours. All our meals were absolutely amazing especially our daughter’s birthday dinner in Mallorca where we ate the best cheesecake of our lives while looking out at the Mediterranean! This was a first-class trip with the perfect combination of historical tours, beautiful scenery, incredible dining, and free time. Overall we wouldn’t change a single thing about our trip and are so grateful to Wish You Travels for providing our family with the perfect trip of a lifetime!
- RENEJuly 2023
The travel agency and Lalo’s team were amazing. They designed a 2-week vacation for us for our first trip to Spain. The expert guides were all fantastic and the pacing and variety of activities were perfect. We had such a fantastic time and learned ao much about Spain. We loved touring Toledo with a private guide. The Sagrada Familia was breathtaking. Having expert guides to share the history of each city was really outstanding !
- NICHOLEAugust 2023
We've traveled abroad numerous times before with our teenage boys and typically plan our own trips. Due to some unique logistics this time around, we chose to use a travel agency to help us plan our trip to Spain, which included a packed itinerary of Barcelona, the Costa Brava, Granada, Ronda, Sevilla, Cordoba, Toledo, and Madrid. From start to finish, working with our travel agent, Lalo, and his company, Wish You Travels, was an absolute delight! Lalo helped us create a custom itinerary by listening to our ideas and then making suggestions based on his vast knowledge of the country. After that, he took care of literally everything. Leading up to our departure, he scheduled multiple phone calls to insure we had all of our questions answered. We were provided with a very user-friendly app to keep track of our travel documents, scheduled tours, and accommodations, as well as a fantastic list of restaurants in each city. The private tours we went on in each city were wonderful, thanks to the contacts Lalo and Wish You Travels have cultivated throughout Spain. All of our drivers and guides were very prompt, professional, and knowledgeable, making every day really enjoyable. We honestly didn't have to worry about anything! Lalo even took the time to check in during the trip to make sure everything was meeting our expectations (and it was!) and helped us modify one of our days in Madrid to allow for more time for us to explore on our own. I would highly recommend working with Lalo and his team again - he helped make our trip to Spain an unforgettable one! We loved exploring the Costa Brava - the views were amazing, the food was wonderful, and the vibe was so relaxing. We also had an incredible time in Granada. Our tour guide for our visit to the Alhambra Palace was so knowledgeable and entertaining. It was really a bucket-list experience to be able to visit. However, Sevilla was probably our favorite, due in part to the location of our hotel. We were able to stay directly across the street from the Cathedral, which meant everything - restaurants, shops, and historical sites - were very close. This made it so easy to become totally immersed in the culture and history of such a beautiful city.
- BROOKESeptember 2023
Lalo worked with my husband and I for months with countless phone calls, emails and itinerary revisions to create a memorable and white glove 19 day trip to Spain. Lalo's knowledge of Spain and the travel industry gave him the ability to tailor each detail of the trip to what we were looking for, as well as our budget. Excited and months of planning behind us we set off for Spain with high expectations for an amazing trip! Now we are post trip and happy to report the trip exceeded our expectations in so many ways, in fact. we have already talked to Lalo about a return trip to Spain and Portugal. Lalo and his team managed our hotels, flights, train, personal drivers, tours, restaurant recommendations and even made reservations for a couple meals. The Mobile App with our itinerary was so helpful with all the links, tickets and information we needed while we are on the trip. The personal attention we received from Wish You Travels made us feel like we were their only clients. We highly recommend if you plan to go to Spain or Portugal contact Lalo and Wish You Travels. This was our first trip to Spain and we fell in love with the country immediately. We had the pleasure of exploring the northern area of Basque Country and then headed south to Sevilla and Granada and ended our last few days in the Madrid area. We were blessed to have a worry free trip with every detail managed by Lalo and his team. We enjoyed private city tours to give us an over all introduction to the city, as well as, meeting a local resident for recommendations and tips on things to see and do. Wonderful bike tour of Sevilla, Flamenco Show in Granada, nice hotels in great walkable locations. English speaking drivers so we could learn more about Spain from a local resident. The food and wine never disappointed whether we were in a fancy restaurant or a local café, we experienced the flavors and culture of Spain through each meal.
- KARENSeptember 2023
Let me start by saying the trip that Wish You Travels planned a spectacular trip for us to Mallorca Spain. Praise to Lalo for putting together an unforgettable trip for my sisters and I. From our first call in February, to the last call the day we left Mallorca (September) he was there every step of the way. The itinerary was fabulous from sailing, hiking, biking, olive oil/wine tour, walking tours of big cities and quaint villages and towns. He listened to my request and thoughts and was able to plan what we were wanted. We experienced so much and also had down time to make the most of each day. Our luxury villa on Mallorca island was magnificent. We enjoyed our private pool and outdoor living every day. What a great place for four sisters to celebrate each other! Our daily buffet breakfast, gastronomy lunches, elegant dinners and signature cocktails were exceptional. What a beautiful way to experience the island. Our private guided tours by local experts were incredible. Everyone shared amazing stories and information showing their love of the country. Last but not least our English-speaking drivers were professional and top notch. Finally, the mobile app was fantastic. It was nice to have all our information easily available and concisely organized at your fingertips. Hats off to Lalo and his team for planning a trip of a lifetime!
- LISAOctober 2023
My husband and I filled out our information on theIR website and literally within minutes, Lalo of Wish You Travels sent us an email asking what time of day we could have a conversation about what we wanted to do in Spain. Our first conversation lasted an hour and Lalo listened to everything we wanted to see and do. From there, we went through several drafts of our itinerary until it was perfect. Our final itinerary was expertly detailed and based on everything we had talked with Lalo about over the course of two weeks.
We had private guides in each city that were amazingly knowledgeable and personable. The caliber of their professionalism was top notch. All our travel arrangements were made by the team at Wish You Travels. Plane and train tickets, hotel reservations, drivers to and from the airport, and all tickets to each historical site were prearranged. We never had to wait in long lines to visit any attraction. Along the way, Lalo would check in with us and make sure the trip was going according to plan. Lalo was professional and caring and was truly involved in making sure that we were having a great time. The team at Wish You Travels provided exceptional customer service and created a “once-in-a-lifetime” trip that we will never forget. The time we spent on private tours with our own guides was the most memorable part of our trip. Their knowledge of Spanish history came from a personal and balanced perspective. We engaged in fascinating conversations and by the end of the trip, came to know not only the facts of history, but experienced an in-depth understanding of how historical events connected over the centuries in various parts of Spain. Each guide, especially in Barcelona, Granada, and Sevilla, was emotionally connected to their various areas of expertise and allowed us to be caught up in the vibrant history of each site we visited. We are already talking about going to Portugal next year and we will be talking to Wish You Travels again. - RANDIOctober 2023
After 3 year of planning and waiting (COVID-19 delay) we finally took our dream vacation to Barcelona and Lisbon. Working with Lalo at Wish You Travels was super fun and easy. Lalo listened to what type of experiences we wanted and planned an itinerary within our budget giving us hotel, daily tours and restaurant options. During our trip Lalo checked in with us, making sure we were 100% satisfied with our guides and drivers. He promised we would have the best trip and we did! I would highly recommend Lalo and Wish You Travels for your trip to Spain and Portugal!!!! 5 Stars!!! Staying at beautiful hotels, learning the history of Spain and Portugal with expert guides and drivers and eating amazing food were the most enjoyable parts of the trip. Even if we had the opportunity to change our trip, we would not change a thing!
- MAUREENOctober 2023
We selected Wish You Travels to work with in planning our trip to Spain. The company founder, Lalo, was very attentive to what we were interested in doing and seeing. He also worked with us to ensure we could enjoy the trip even though my husband has some mobility issues. We arrived in Madrid and were transported to the high speed train station where we travelled to Sevilla for four days. We stayed in the heart of the city across from the cathedral. We loved the old, narrow, cobble stone streets and the many cafes with outdoor seating. While in Sevilla we had a guided tour of the cathedral, Plaza de España and Alcazar Palace. Our guide, Maria, was excellent and the history so interesting. We also watched a traditional Flamenco show, took a cooking class and visited the local Hammam (Arab baths). On a day trip we went to Cadiz and visited a local winery. We returned by high speed train to Madrid where we took a tapas tour that evening. What a fun time of trying new foods and visiting several restaurants! We enjoyed a tour of the Royal Palace along with a great walk to the Plaza Mayor and through the Habsburg District. On our last day in Spain we took a day trip to Toledo: what a beautiful and interesting city with 1,000s of years of history! Every event, tour and sightseeing that we did was timely and went very smoothly thanks to the planning and efforts of Wish You Travels. We enjoyed greatly the architecture, the art and having tour guides for the various sites we visited. Their knowledge of the history and the stories of the sites made the experience much more interesting and educational. Tapas tasting was such a fun evening and our guide was so enjoyable! The flamenco show was wonderful as was the cooking class where we made paella and gazpacho. We also really appreciated sitting at a cafe in the evening, enjoying dinner in the heart of Sevilla.

We travelled to Spain and Portugal in October 2023. It was our first time using Wish You Travels and we found the overall experience very worthwhile since we had never traveled to either country aside from Barcelona, and had no idea how to begin planning this trip. We immediately felt very comfortable with Wish You Travels and selected them to design our trip. Lalo started the process by listening to our goals for the trip, cities and sights we wished to visit, types of accommodations we prefer, our physicality, intercity transportation preferences, etc. so he could tailor an itinerary to our preferences. Via conference calls, he then suggested several destinations within Spain and Portugal that were in alignment with our tastes/interests and Lalo described each location and its attractions in detail. With the help of his expert knowledge, the itinerary was defined along with a logical sequence of travel, he proposed safe & strategically located hotels, helped us picked the best tours and day trips, and also recommended the best/easiest modes of travel between the cities which included flights, trains, and rental cars which were all flawlessly arranged by his team. Lalo and his team were very professional, knowledgeable, organized and had excellent communication skills. Wish You Travels uses a fantastic Mobile App which contained our itinerary, the hotels, a daily description and schedule, all the electronic tickets, links to all the tourist attractions including their locations and how to best get there, restaurant recommendations with a short description of cuisine, etc. We referred to it constantly for information and it was extremely useful and easy to use. We were prepped before leaving by Lalo, and along with the App, we felt well prepared for the trip and all went very smoothly. On this trip, we built so many unique memories! We particularly enjoyed the Spanish cooking class, our visit to the Sagrada Familia, savouring tapas, our day trip to Sintra and the Douro Valley tour. Lastly and most importantly, Wish You Travels was available for questions or to help with any change in circumstances throughout our trip (24/7) which was very reassuring. For instance, it was pouring rain in Porto and with a single phone call to Lalo's team, our 4 hour walking tour of Porto was changed into an indoor port wine tasting and museum tour which saved our day. Thank you Wish You Travels for a wonderful trip and experience!

I have rarely been moved to leave a review of any kind, but my experience with Wish You Travels was so extraordinary that I'm excited to share some details. For about nine months, I worked with Lalo and his team to put together a 13 day itinerary in Spain, including Barcelona, Seville, Granada, Malaga and Madrid. During planning Lalo was patient, informative, and always accommodating. For example, after the trip was planned and partially booked for five travelers, we added two more! Lalo and his team were able to fix everything so that our mix of beautiful hotels, a stunning apartment in Seville, and a fabulous villa in Granada (everyone told us it's the nicest accommodation in the city) didn't have to change. A miracle! Our group of adults range in age from 20s to 60s, with a variety of interests and likes/dislikes. Lalo worked with me to include something for everyone -- from Michelin star restaurants (where he was able to get a reservation that no one I know has ever been able to get) to a cooking class, an e-bike tour, a tapas tour in each city (a great way to explore and learn the local culture), tours of the big monuments and three vineyards (all fabulous), an authentic Flamenco show, and skip the line tickets to a museum. Since we were traveling over the Christmas holiday, Lalo arranged to have cooks come in to make us breakfast on the mornings we didn't have breakfast included in a hotel stay -- just in case we had a hard time finding something open. He anticipated all of our needs and provided things like directions to a grocery store, the best food markets and ice-cream shops in each city, and recommendations for rooftop bars. He and his team were also available during AND AFTER our trip -- when one of our group wasn't feeling well, he arranged on-the-spot transportation back to our hotel. This is truly first class customer service!
So, to conclude, Wish You Travels arranged top shelf accommodations and a wide range of activities and tours that were all with English speaking guides and extremely well done, and provided extraordinary customer service before, during, and after our trip. I really can't say enough good things about them. I absolutely loved the cooking class, our day exploring Costa Brava, seeing Sagrada Familia, and the Boquería Food Market. But I guarantee that if you ask the seven people in our group, you'll hear A LOT of different answers since our trip went off without a hitch and literally everything was extremely enjoyable. - RICHARDFebruary 2024
Lalo and his team were absolutely outstanding in handling our recent trip to Spain. Planning, Communication, and Execution were everything we could expect. Wish You Travels listened to us, understood the nuances of our thinking, and provided a plan that fulfilled our hopes (including making last minute schedule changes that we needed). Everything went exactly according to plan...drivers on time and professional, guides were extraordinarily knowledgeable, hotels and train tickets all as promised. Their use of a dedicated mobile app provided real time information for everything. Andalusia (Cordoba, Granada and Seville) was captivating... made even better with the exhaustive knowledge of our guides in every city. Having everything planned (even recommendations for dining that we could select) is especially valuable for older travelers, like us, even though we've traveled throughout Europe for many years. The layering of the Moorish, Christian, and Jewish cultures and history was fascinating. Incredible detail in architecture and religious sites is overwhelming regardless of age. We'd recommend Wish You Travels to our best friends without hesitation. Five Stars!
- DeborahApril 2023
Our vacation was fabulous and we had the best time together, thanks to Lalo and his team. Wish You Travels went above and beyond to make sure we had a unique vacation to remember! We had a great time and loved our visits in Spain and Portugal. Their attention to detail was apparent every day. From dependable and friendly drivers, informative and attentive guides, to top rated hotels. We saw and visited places we would not have known about had we joined a typical local city tour. Having the Trip Plans app was brilliant and was used many times every day. Thank you Wish You Travels for a trip we will always remember!
- JANEMay 2023
This trip exceeded our expectations. Every aspect of journey was carefully planned for us. Lalo listened to what we wanted to do and created a trip within our budget and that matched our requests. We couldn’t have asked for a better planned trip. Lalo or one of his team colleagues contacted us several times during the trip to see that all was going as we had hoped. I highly recommend Wish You Travels. We loved this trip, but Porto, our cooking class, the sunset cruise in Lisbon, the delightful apartment in Funchal, Madeira, the Port and wine tastings and all of the great guides and drivers made this trip truly special. Whenever possible we had the same guides or drivers so we got to know them well. The guides were very knowledgeable which made for interesting tours.
- Nancy & ChuckMay 2023
Our trip was fantastic! Lalo and his team put together an itinerary that met our budget and schedule. They were flexible in providing transportation and accommodation options that allowed that. It was all memorable. We saw much of Spain and Portugal, both the large cities and smaller rural areas. Our guides were also uniformly great. It was very helpful to generally skip lines and have commentary just for us. We often remarked at how lucky we were to not be in a large group, although as we age that may be what we do in the future. We were glad Lalo encouraged us to take a Douro Valley Port Wine Tour. It was a very enjoyable day.
- Elaine & BobMay 2023
We can’t say enough good things about our experience working with Lalo and his team. After several phone conversations with him, it felt more like a friend was arranging a memorable trip to Spain and Portugal for us, rather than a travel specialist. All we had to do was schedule our flights to and from Barcelona; Lalo took care of everything else. He paid very close attention to everything we requested, made suggestions for alternative/additional places to visit and provided us with a very detailed proposal. We could not have been more pleased with the results, and we could not have developed as good a program on our own. During the trip, everything went as planned, and from time to time, Lalo checked in with us to see how things were going. The hotels were all excellent, transfers/drivers on time, and guides knowledgeable and engaging. The one time we needed assistance at a hotel, it was taken care of immediately. We felt that Lalo took a personal interest in making sure everything went well on our visit to Spain and Portugal. He specifically requested particular guides in many of the cities and locations we visited and even arranged to meet us for ice cream while we were in Madrid. Lalo was a blessing to us. If we were to rate the trip on a five-point scale it would be a five. If we were to rate the personal services he provided through the travel company, it would be six on the five-point scale. We had a fantastic time and were able to see a great deal of Spain and Portugal in a relatively short period of time.
- JudyApril 2022
Wish You Travels planned our trip really well. We enjoyed or holiday very much. Wish You Travels understands our needs and provided useful and insightful advices. The planning and communication process was well recorded and adjusted accordingly. The presentation of the itinerary was easy to understand and professionally presented. Wish You Travels made great choice regarding hotels and restaurants for us. Our driver was very professional and looked after us for the entire trip. We had a memorable trip. We would use Wish You Travels for our future trips to Spain and Portugal. Highly recommended.
- Steve and his familyMay 2022
Our family had a wonderful trip to Spain in late May and early June 2022. Everyone from Wish You Travels were extremely kind, helpful, and patient as we worked together to define an itinerary for our family. They provided great insight as we considered the specific cities we wanted to visit and made good recommendations based on taking the time to get to know us and our interests. We truly loved every city and all activities but the highlights for us were: 1) Private boat day tour in Mallorca (beautiful water and scenery, great lunch), 2) Granada (easily walkable and very interesting city with the Alhambra and the flamenco show), 3) Sevilla (beautiful city on the river with great architecture and plantings everywhere you look), 4) Day trip to Toledo and visiting the cathedral which is stunning and unlike any we've seen in Europe. Wish You Travels always followed up very quickly on any actions taken and emailed or texted the information back to us. In addition, Lalo was a tremendous help when two of our family members surprisingly tested positive for COVID and we could not return to the U.S. as planned. He helped us extend our trip by a few days, found us a hotel (when all hotels in the city were sold out) and arranged for us to get additional COVID tests a few days later and new transportation to the airport. He took the time to make sure we were well taken care of, even though our itinerary with Wish You Travels was technically complete. WYT did not request any additional fees for these extra services. I would highly recommend Lalo and Wish You Travels for anyone considering a trip to Spain or Portugal. Having someone who is a local (based in Madrid) with great knowledge of the country definitely beats a company based in the U.S. (or another home country) who may have visited Spain a few times. Thank you again, we loved your country and hope to return to visit northern Spain next time!
- RobertJune 2022
We took several months to put the trip together. Lalo has great patience for putting up with me. The pre itinerary was fun and exhausting. I had to rely on Lalo's experience and several times I asked him to make the decision as if it was his own trip. The trip turned out better than I expected. The different experiences every day were unbelievable, and every day it topped the day before. Every experience was new and unique, places we did not know that existed and once we went, we were surprised that we knew nothing about them. It was like watching fireworks displace and every firework is better than the last. Of course, the tapas tour and the Spanish cooking Class put this trip over the top. I must say that the drivers and guides we used were very helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating. Wish You Travels team were tracking us daily and everything went so smoothly that I stopped thinking about what could go wrong the next day. Everything was picture perfect. I would certainly recommend Wish You Travels to anyone thinking about visiting Spain. I guess the true compliment is wanting to use a service again in the future. I talked to Lalo about the possibility of coming back to Southern or Northern Spain next year, possible May or early June.
- Dinia and familyAugust 2022
Our recent trip to Spain and the experience working with the travel company Wish You Travels is nothing short of completely blowing our wildest expectations. I was a bit apprehensive about using a travel company, after all, in the time of internet, I wasn't sure what else a travel agency could offer, boy I was so happy I went this route! From the very beginning they truly listened to what we wanted to get out of our trip. After 3 years of pandemic and many years of not being together as a family, we wanted a vacation that was not only a celebration of our family and let us all explore places together but also have some real family time. Since the very beginning, they heard our wants and needs and created an itinerary that was truly perfect for us, provided alternatives, suggestions and well balanced and insightful feedback that ultimately gave us the perfect trip. Lalo started as a very capable, charismatic and in my words, outstanding contact and ended up as a dear friend to me and my family at the end of the trip. All the team kept in touch with us through the trip to make sure we were all taken care. In the very rare event when things changed for one reason or another, I found they were already one step ahead of us and being extremely proactive.
- Sam & DoriMarch 2023
We just completed a 16 day Jewish Heritage Trip of Spain. Lalo, from "Wish You Travels", was absolutely spectacular. We have visited over 80 counties around the world and lived for extended time in Australia/New Zealand, Hong Kong, Israel and Germany. No one, no travel agency did or could do better than Lalo. Not in any special order...he was always available both before the trip and during the trip. We Zoomed together probably at least 6 times before the trip. He met us at the hotel after we just arrived form the US in Madrid. I called him several times during the trip and he always answered the phone and responded to my inquires immediately. In fact, he stayed in contact almost every day of the trip asking for feedback and what he could do to make the trip even better. He loved co-creating the itinerary with my wife and me. We stayed at 7 hotels, which he worked with us to choose. We had 10 different guides in 9 different cities-towns villages...and they were top, top, top. All incredible experts. Lalo suggested restaurants for all places and they were spot on. Wish You Travels use a personal app they create for you as the client. It is fantastic. ALL the documents, tickets, vouchers and every single day's itineraries and where to be and when were detailed in the app. Names and phone numbers of guides and drivers, restaurants and your hotel details were also available through this app. The app works on and off line. Wow! Yes...the trip and the company were 5 star!!!!!
- Joshua, Lauren and kidsMarch 2023
Outstanding trip with excellent service and attention to detail throughout. Lalo is accessible, agreeable and focused on his clients. We traveled through Madrid, Zaragoza and Barcelona. Lalo took care of everything but did not overplan and really listened to the type of trip that we wanted. Excellent tour guides and really top notch technology offering with an app that contained every detail we needed (tickets, pick-up times, etc). Lalo went above and beyond when our youngest left a stuffed animal behind and drama ensued, but I knew all I had to do was alert Lalo and sure enough, it was waiting for us at the next hotel. This is our third trip to Europe and each has been excellent but Lalo and the travel agency gets my highest recommendation. We really enjoyed our Tapas and Gastronomy tour in Madrid, as well as the cooking lesson in Barcelona. Side trips to Toledo and Costa Brava were also handled without a hitch. We requested boutique hotels and Lalo delivered with excellent choices, balancing location, service and cost in a way that made me (as the trip planner) look good to my family. Finally, the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona: among the most sensational buildings in the world.
- AlnoorAugust 2019
Wish You Travels promised me that our family vacation to Portugal and Spain would be the trip of a lifetime and he delivered on his commitment in the best way possible.
The first thing that was special was the time he invested to learn about my family to get a sense of who we were, what we liked, what we wanted, how open we were to different ideas, budget and so on.
Wish You Travels may be smaller than other companies, but they truly designed and delivered a spectacular vacation for my family. Thank you! - AndyAugust 2019
My trip was so well thought out by my travel agent Lalo. He really took the time to design our dream vacation.
The hotel was awesome and all of the places they recommended to drive and see were fabulous. Not only did he list his favorite places he put all of them on maps. All we had to do was open a link and away we went with a map quest. - Omar family tripAugust 2019
The whole trip starting from the first contact till our return has been an amazing experience. We asked for a flavor of Spain and got memories to last a lifetime!
Our Travel Designer was very good at identifying activities which could keep the whole family busy. This was an extreme element throughout the trip and if one day was spent in museums the next day was an activity catering for the children. - WhitneySeptember 2019
We would like to personally thank Wish You Travels for their outstanding service, communication and efforts. We had the trip of a life-time! Our travel planner has been attentive, kind, and courteous. Through our experience we have grown a bond. He worked within our budget, and short time frame, to provide amazing services, experiences, drivers, support staff and an overall vacation. He worked so hard and his attention to detail was impeccable.
- Collin and EllenSeptember 2019
We could not have been more pleased with Wish You Travels team. From the initial planning stages of our vacation in Portugal and Spain, all the way to the end of our trip, Wish You Travels was always one text or phone call away to help with anything we might need.
- CharleneSeptember 2019
Our trip to Spain and Portugal was fabulous. Our travel agent from Wish You Travels planned our trip perfectly with great drivers, wonderful tour guides and the best food and wine. He and his team were accessible to us throughout our entire trip, which is a great comfort especially when you are new to a country.
- FrankOctober 2019
Wish You Travels designed a complex itinerary for our family of six, involving seven locations, transfers, museum visits and two days hiking Camino de Santiago. The charming hotels, services and countryside life were breathtaking. The entire experience came off with flawless precision thanks to agent’s planning, attention to detail, and personal service. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Wish You Travels is.
- MichaelDecember 2019
We feel like our amazing family trip to Spain (Barcelona, Seville, Cordoba) and Portugal (Porto, Tomar, Sintra, Lisbon) actually began when we started working with our travel agent six months prior to our departure date. He consistently followed up with us to understand our interests, priorities, likes and dislikes, in order to create a wonderful itinerary that satisfied our entire family.
- Kristie & ThomasJanuary 2020
We have never had such wonderful customer care from any other company and would not hesitate to use you again and have told so many people about you that I am sure you will get lots of new business. Thank you so much and I look forward to travelling with your company again. You have wonderful people working for you and it is the staff that make the company stand out.
- MaryFebruary 2020
Wish You Travels could not have been more helpful! The planning took account of all our wishes, and they were executed as planned from hotel, private visits, unique activities, internal flights and high-speed train tickets. Throughout the holiday agent personal attention during the trip was very evident and one felt that we were always in strong hands to resolve any issue. We have travelled many times with various travel companies, and I have no hesitation in writing that Wish You Travels is at the very top.
- MargaretJuly 2020
The personal guided tours and unique activities that Wish You Travels arranged for us were absolutely fantastic. Each and every guide we had in Lisbon, Porto, Santiago de Compostela, San Sebastian, La Rioja and Barcelona was highly knowledgeable on the history, architecture and culture of their respective cities allowing us to get a real feel for each city we visited.
- JaniceAugust 2021
We had a memorable trip, everything was perfect! Even though, one member of our party of four was handicapped, and because of the care provided, we were able to see and do almost everything that all tourists do in these areas. It was so obvious that everyone we dealt with along the way really cared about us as travelers!
- SunilSeptember 2021
Our family trip to Spain and Portugal was wonderful. We had private drivers and guides who were always very kind, helpful, and well informed. Lalo and his company Wish You Travels planned the trip from start to finish and kept us fully informed during the planning process as well as frequently checking in on us during the actual trip.
- AnilOctober 2021
This trip to Northern Spain and around the coast of Portugal was made to order for us by Wish You Travels, and it would be so hard to say what were the very best memories, they were all wonderful! The trip was perfectly designed to see the best of these areas with the amount of time we had, so the planning had to be perfect!
- AshleyNovember 2021
Our trip to Spain and Portugal was amazing in every detail starting with Lalo who organized and planned everything of our trip.

- PaulJune 2018
Lalo came up with a couple of spectacular itineraries tailor made for us. We eventually decided to go with the Basque Country and Catalonia option, and it was wonderful. Every transfer, activity, or private visit to museums was coordinated to perfection and we couldn’t be happier. The food and the wine were spectacular. Thank you for showing us the time of our lives.
- JeffJune 2018
This was a dream holiday. We did a private yacht trip around Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza, plus two days in Barcelona. We travel extensively and hands down this was the best one! We didn't have to worry about anything. Wish You Travels took away the hassle of our 'out of the country' holiday. Everyone involved was so friendly and professional. Nothing less than five stars from us!
- MichaelJune 2018
Lalo Garcia was the perfect person to planning our vacation to Portugal and Spain. He listened to everything that we wanted and came up with a fabulous schedule and great ideas. We were so impressed with the Spanish Paradores, Sevilla Alcazar, and the secret beaches in Portugal that he recommended. We are glad we followed his advice. Thanks so much.
- JamesMay 2018
Arriving in Santiago de Compostela Cathedral after one-week hiking was a real highlight! The guide was great, the landscapes unforgettable and we loved the boutique hotels. We wouldn't hesitate to book another trip through you and will be recommending to our friends and family!

- AmandaSeptember 2017
I'm not usually a tour person, but our trip through Spain with Lalo was like traveling with a local friend. Not only did we get to learn and experience the amazing culture of Spain at great restaurants, hotels, and sites we would have never found on our own, but we also felt safe and cared for. Every detail was thought of, and Lalo treats you like family. I wish I could bring him with me on every trip I take. 5-Star recommendation!!!
- RachelJuly 2017

The luxury customized tour that Wish You Travels made for us was brilliant. Lalo was quick to respond to our queries and had a great knowledge of Spain. The itinerary we were sent was spot on, which meant we could sit back and enjoy ourselves. All transfers were on time and professional. The private flamenco class was amazing - we really couldn't have asked for much more.
- AmberMarch 2016
I loved Spain!!! I would give it a 11 out of 10. Everything is so well thought out and genuine, a true endeavor of love. I had a fantastic time, I ate the best food ever and I’m planning on returning and visit the North of Spain next year. Just writing this makes me want to go back.
