Doctor Bob & friends private Spain guided luxury food, wine & culture tour
Dr. Bob Engler, M.D.
Dr Bob, a respected West Coast cardiologist traveled with a group of 12 friends who all loved food, wine, luxury hotels and hanging out together in beautiful places. They wanted to avoid mass market offerings and instead enjoy a curated private luxury, food and wine adventure across Spain & Portugal. But due to the long distances, as Spain alone is 1.7 X the size of Italy, we suggested a tighter focus on Spain food and wine tour, to allow for more fun and less time in the luxury bus.
After a few calls & itinerary iterations, we collaboratively designed an amazing trip plan to include known UNESCO sites, top wineries and a few hidden gems along the way we discovered. The trip began in majestic Madrid and then went west to the rustic Extremadura region, and then north to Salamanca and the Ribera del Duero. After a few days there it was on to Spain’s top wine region, La Rioja, then Bilbao, San Sebastian and finishing in Barcelona. They agreed it was a big success and raved about the seamless planning and insider experiences. See a similar Spain food, wine & culture itinerary sample here.

John Curry – Family Man & Attorney
An American attorney, John, wanted a trip to captivate his two children and his wife. Of course, like many very educated families, they all have diverse interests. So we had a video call and asked about the likes and dislikes of each person and then went to the drawing board and sent a couple of different iterations of itineraries with Southern Spain’s Andalucia and Barcelona,until they were happy.
Unique activities included medieval hilltop villages, visiting a historic olive oil mill tasting, UNESCO sites like the Alhambra in Granada and the UNESCO wonders, flamenco and tapas cuisine of Seville. All of this with 24/7 concierge service and expert planning ensure it was seamlessly orchestrated without any stress for the customers. See a similar private Spain tour here.
