Questions

What American travelers ask us

Every journey is private and planned around you, whether you travel as a couple, a family, a multigenerational family, a group of friends or a group that shares a passion.

Book a no-obligation Zoom call

Do you plan private trips for affinity groups, such as art, food or wine lovers?

Yes. Every MPT journey is private, never a shared small group tour. We plan for groups that travel around a shared passion, whether art and architecture, food and wine, heritage, golf or something else. By arrangement, that can include after-hours visits to UNESCO sites, private flamenco and tapas in Andalusia, cellar visits with winemakers and time with artists and chefs, guided by the top experts for your theme.

Can a group of friends travel together on one private trip?

Yes. Two or three couples, or a circle of friends, share one private itinerary planned by one expert. Not everyone has the same taste, and that is fine. We build in time together and options apart, so each traveler gets the day they want, and the whole group shares one private WhatsApp group with our team.

Do you plan multigenerational family trips?

Yes. The best multigenerational trips do not ask everyone to do the same thing in the same way. We plan room for different ages, energy levels and interests, with the option to split the day when it matters, the right guides for younger travelers and a pace that works for grandparents too. Great food for every generation is part of the plan.

What makes your family trips work for children?

Guides who know how to engage younger travelers, touring blocks sized for their attention, hands-on experiences such as a paella cooking class, and hotels that suit families. The adults still get the depth they came for. Our 10-day private family tour of Spain is a good starting point.

How do you plan a private trip for couples?

Around the pace you want and the moments you will share, with luxury hotels, restaurants and settings our team has tested. We also plan honeymoons and anniversary trips, including dedicated romantic and honeymoon itineraries for Spain and Portugal.

Can we combine culture with active days, such as light hiking?

Yes. Spain, Portugal and Morocco share centuries of Moorish, Roman, Jewish and Christian heritage, and we pace cultural days around your curiosity. Over half of our travelers ask for light hiking, and we know the best trails in beautiful places. Private cycling, boating, sea kayaking and hot air ballooning are also available.

How much does a private luxury trip cost?

Private journeys start from $884 per person per day, based on two sharing, excluding international flights. Multi-country trips start from $998 per person per day. Your price depends on your hotels, experiences and dates, and like airlines, hotels use dynamic pricing, so peak weeks cost more. Your first custom itinerary carries no planning fee.

How far ahead should we book?

Ideally a year or more ahead, because we limit ourselves to five trips per country each week so every trip gets truly personal, custom tour planning. The top local guides, with deep local knowledge and excellent English, are few, and the best of them are reserved quickly. Traveling sooner? Contact us. Depending on our availability, your dates and your needs, we may be able to make it happen.

When is the best time to travel to Spain, Portugal and Morocco?

For Spain and Portugal, late March to early June and September through November. January, February and early March bring the best value. Morocco is a natural choice in winter, when Spain and Portugal are quieter, and pairs beautifully with either country on one trip.
