Top Madrid Multi-day Tours

Very interesting places, the guide tour Vanessa is very knowledgeable and helpful. Some time to enjoy by ourselves as well. Pay attention only to VPT starting time as Cool Destinations got it wrong.

Amazing experience, tremendous teamwork in Spain group. Alex Bernal our tour guide is excellent, strongly recommend this tour. Beautiful place with great views and great people. Alex was very helpful and professional with a great knowledge of the country history and culture. Always looking for a good place to visit. He may our trip one of the best vacation in Spanish.

My husband and I had an absolutely amazing two-day Ribera del Duero tour with Michael. Starting three months out, he helped us weigh our preferences and time constraints, then crafted the best-fit itinerary. Once we settled on Ribera del Duero, he curated and confirmed winery visits tailored to our tastes, ensuring everything ran seamlessly.Michael’s wine expertise really shines—he’s a certified Spanish Wine Scholar and shares insights with clarity and warmth. What truly set this experience apart were his deep connections in Ribera del Duero: he bridged the language barrier effortlessly, introduced us to winemakers, and even arranged exclusive visits where wineries opened their doors just for us.He also brought the region to life beyond the glass—guiding us through the town of Peñafiel, explaining local culture (including bull running in the medieval square), and taking us up to the beautiful and historic Castillo de Peñafiel to understand the terroir and admire the sweeping views.Beyond the vineyards, Michael’s restaurant recommendations were spot-on. He went out of his way to make reservations in advance and thoughtfully explained local dishes ahead of time, so choosing where (and what) to eat was easy and exciting. Our first lechazo (suckling lamb) at a restaurant with an underground wine cellar was the kind of meal you remember forever!If you’re looking for an insider, personalized wine journey handled with concierge-level care, Michael is the one. We learned a ton, tasted beautifully, ate wonderfully, and felt thoroughly taken care of from start to finish. We definitely recommend this experience to anyone who wants to visit Ribera del Duero!

Excellent tour to get to know Andalusia. We were very comfortable as we were few people, so they accommodated one van for 6. The guides and the hotels are very good. The only thing is that the dinners included inside the hotels are not very good. I would also have preferred to have more time in Toledo which is lovely and less time in Torremolinos, Costa del Sol. Our driver Ruben, very professional, attentive and friendly. Guides in the cities: Conchi, Angel and Antonio, professional and fun. We saw the essentials and learned a lot.

Perfect! With this clarification, the review is much clearer and more precise, highlighting the excellence in both offices. Here is the corrected version:---Excellent experience with Europcar in Granada and Madrid - Impeccable service in both officesMy experience with Europcar was perfect from start to finish, thanks to the excellent service received in two of its offices. The whole process, from the collection in Granada to the return in Madrid, was smooth, professional and with exceptional human treatment.I would like to pay special tribute to the staff who attended me:At the Granada Renfe office, Alvaro managed to deliver the car. His professionalism, kindness and patience to explain everything in detail were exemplary. Thanks to him, I started the journey with complete confidence and without any doubt. The car was in perfect condition and the location, right at the train station, is unbeatable.Later, at the Madrid Plaza de España office, Jesus and Paloma made me receive or return the vehicle. They were just as attentive, agile and efficient. The process was very fast, uncomplicated and with the same kindness that I found at the beginning.It is a pleasure to find this level of coordination and service excellence in different cities. The close and professional treatment of the whole team stands out.My sincerest gratitude to Alvaro in Granada, and to Jesus and Dove in Madrid. Your work makes a difference and turns logistics management into a positive experience. I recommend them 100% and will definitely repeat with Europcar.

Thanks to Rebeca and team - Robert, Fito, and Enrique - for a great 6-day tour of Rioja and Ribera del Duero wines and Basque Country exploration. The winery visits were a premium experience - just our group of 4 people spending time with the wine makers, their families, and having gourmet dining experiences in the wineries was amazing. Having toured many wineries in France, Italy and the States, we enjoyed learning about the customs and practices that make Rioja and Ribera wines distinct and delicious. Having a small group experience allowed us to visit unique wineries and understand more of the wine making history in the area in ways you could not do with a large group... We visited wineries in local caves, experimental wineries, and explored locations off the beaten path.Our group liked the concept booking our own hotels, based on Rebeca's recommendations, to allow our group to control this part of our experience.We also enjoyed spending time at Rebeca and Roberts home as friends for a local meal and sampling their family wines.This was a week of great experiences not to be missed.

As part of a month long journey through Spain my husband and I wanted to learn more about the Rioja and Ribera del Duero wine regions, as wines from those areas are some of our favorites. I came across Rebeca’s website/business, Rioja Like A Native and immediately felt her passion and enthusiasm for sharing the local culture of the area where she grew up and still lives today. From the moment I began inquiring about her tours, Rebeca was extremely responsive, and thorough with her communication. (And she just seemed like a genuinely nice person when communicating). She wanted to know your interests so that she could tailor the experience where necessary, so all we had to do was jump in the car with our guide and enjoy.Rebeca coordinated a private transfer from San Sebastián to Logrono, the starting point of our 2 Day tour of Rioja, as we were traveling Spain without a car, and she advised us local train would have taken much longer and did not have a direct route. Her driver Jose was so lively and fun and made the drive pass quickly. We booked one of her hotel recommendations which was conveniently located in the old town section in Logrono and walkable to all the good tapas bars and restaurants. The next morning we were promptly met by Fito who was our local guide for the 2 day Rioja adventure. Fito didn’t feel like your typical “guide” who is trained to provide specific facts or information, he felt more like a good friend who was driving you around his area, talking to you about his favorite places, and who knows about and enjoys good wine and food. While our adventure primarily included visiting 5 different styles of wineries, it never felt like we were bouncing from one winery to another and doing the same thing at each—-each one had something different to offer, or a surprise of sorts. In addition to tasting a variety of wines, we tasted some typical foods from the area during some of our wine tastings, had lunch in the medieval town of LaGuardia, and just enjoyed the ride with Fito through some beautiful Rioja scenery. One of the highlights our Rioja adventure was wrapping up our 2nd day with a home cooked late afternoon lunch at Rebeca’s house with her, her husband Robert, and cute dog Taino, and putting our new found Rioja wine knowledge to the test in front of them! We sampled some of their family’s wine too, enjoyed hearing about their adventures throughout their own country, and any advice they had for us as we continued our adventure throughout Spain. They truly made us feel like friends at their dinner table, not just their clients.After our Rioja adventure we were picked up early at our hotel by Bruno who whisked us away to the Ribera del Duero which was about a 2 hour car ride from Logrono to our first winery. Bruno came prepared with breakfast treats, beverages and a wealth of knowledge of the wine region to fill our travel time. At our first winery, we had an unexpected tasting. After doing the private tour and high-end wine tasting in their restaurant’s dining room, complete with sweeping views of the vineyards, we thought it couldn’t get any better. We were then presented with the most delicious series of tapas which felt more like a coursed lunch, a truly lovely and relaxing experience while enjoying the epic views. But that wasn’t the real lunch. Next, Bruno drove us to another town where we actually went to “lunch”at restaurant known for a regional specialty, oven roasted Castilian Lamb which was a food highlight for us on our trip to Spain. After our tours and lunching, Bruno dropped us at our hotel in Madrid and kindly texted us later that evening to see if we needed any restaurant or other recommendations for our stay in Madrid or throughout Spain.Even if we had a car while traveling in Spain, without Rebeca and her team of locals we would not have found these interesting and unique experiences on our own. Our 3 day adventure through Rioja and Ribera de Duero was one of the most memorable parts of our trip, and our lives for that matter. It was most certainly enhanced by the local knowledge of Rebeca, Robert, Fito and Bruno, and equally important the great company, kindness, and care they extended to us along the way.

My wife and I booked a 3-day/2-night private tour with Michael through the Rioja and Ribera del Duero regions. We had an incredible, unforgettable experience and would highly recommend Vine Travel.The website promises a “wine trip that feels less like a tour and more like being let in on a secret” . . . and Michael more than delivers!Over three days, we met the coolest local wine producers and families. Michael has built genuine relationships across these regions. This allowed special access to cellars and vineyards, to private tastings, and to so many personal and authentic interactions with local winemakers. We rode a Hummer to the top of one of the highest vineyards in Rioja. We explored the centuries-old cellars and caves of historic properties. We tasted an aging reserve wine from the barrel at one winery; and a much younger wine not long after harvest from another. We walked through wine making processes and had countless fun discussions (over wine) with owners, experts, and passionate locals. We tasted as much wine as we could have asked.During our trip, Michael make sure we enjoyed and appreciated the most incredible local villages, vineyards, and viewpoints. You will be blown away by the beauty, history, and character of the region. Michael also arranged some terrific meals. (Don’t miss the pintxos crawl on Calle Laurel in Logroño.)Michael is knowledgeable, well-regarded, and fun. We were blessed to spend a private 3-day tour with him. I’d recommend that you trust him in winery recommendations and planning. We did – and we were blown away with the trip, with unique experiences each day. Michael also helped us to arrange a shipment of wine back to the U.S., so we could remember (and enjoy again) each of our special winery visits.

Great tour of historic Andalucia - good hotels, good food, well organised. Excellent driver - professional, friendly and helpful

All very well organized, the guides very friendly and pending... excellent experience, good hotels and good transportation

The tour was amazing! We saw 10 cities overall. The hotels we were put in were very nice. Our guide was great and very knowledgeable. Me and my friend (both widowers) decided to take a trip to Europe and this was our first time without our spouses. This tour helped us to feel comfortable and we met some great new friends. Highly recommend this tour!

Place amazing reception all wonderful beautiful too congratulations to Chile for everything we already miss this paradise

Get ready to walk! The guide(Ofelia)was fantastic, so was the bus driver(Franscico). We will surely book a new tour with Cool Destinations.

Once again, another memorable trip through Cool Destinations. Great communication with updates and info of tour, learned and enjoyed so much while making new friends

Tintoreria Vera provides stellar dry cleaning and laundry services!!!On October 30 of 2023, I dropped off 8 pants & 20 shirts for dry cleaning as well as 20 days' worth of t-shirts, underwear & socks. They were ready the next day and at a very good price compared to Manhattan UWS prices. Roberto is the owner there. He is very friendly and detailed with the intake of all clothing and even charges less for short sleeve shirts. The caliber of cleaning, folding and pressing was impeccable. He speaks very good English. The service is located at Av. de Menendez-Pelayo 11, on the edge of the central, Santa Cruz neighborhood of Seville, Spain. Roberto, this review is written by the man that carried out all of the dry-cleaning hanging on a strap over both sides of my shoulder. Thanks again, Jerome

We had a wonderful time throughout the trip and Inez our bubbly, friendly, energetic, and knowledgeable tour manager was amazing. She stayed engaged with the group; toggling between Spanish and English and she made us felt welcome and taken care of. The bus that ferried us the entire trip was very comfortable, and kudos to the bus captain for keeping us safe on the road at all times. Definitely a 5-star experience for me and my wife!
