Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Very nice tour the kids enjoyed all the stops especially Toledo. The staff was knowledgable and the kids felt safe all the time.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Experience was all around good. However, the breakfast/dinner options were bland and cheap. Pizza and hamburgers in Spain were not what I had imagined for my kids on tour with EF.

The kids had an amazing time, saw new things, tasted new foods, and never had a dull moment :)

There were three cities since we stopped in Zaragoza, which was a highlight of the trip. There was so much Barcelona and Madrid offered, it was impossible to do it all. The travelers and I are excited to go back in the future.

The kids were all separated in middle seats for both flights while the school chaperones had the ability to upgrade their seats. It would have been nice for the parents to have the ability to upgrade the seats since the flights were so long. The tour guide rushed through some of the stops and my daughter felt she didn't get ample time at destinations. Hoping it was just a new tour guide. Some of the restaurant food was pre-chosen for the kids. I think the kids should have been able to experiment with their meals a little. All in all it was a good trip for her first experience traveling without her parents. Now that she has done it once these are things I can question before signing up for next years spring break trip.

Overall, our trip to Spain was a wonderful experience. The highlight was definitely our tour director—she was engaging, especially with the kids, and created a memorable and enriching experience for them. That said, there are a few areas where the trip could be improved. We lost our entire first day to travel, which felt like a missed opportunity. Similarly, our last day ended too abruptly—we had to leave early in the morning rather than having a later flight that would allow for one last chance to explore the city. Another concern was the location of the hotels. They were often far from central areas, which limited our ability to explore in the evenings or immerse ourselves more deeply in the local culture. It would have made a big difference if we stayed in or just outside the city centers. Given the size and buying power of the organization, I was surprised to learn that better-located accommodations weren’t prioritized. With some tweaks to the travel itinerary and hotel selection, this great experience could easily become an exceptional one.

My twins went on this trip with their school and loved it, they were talking and telling stories for about a week afterwards

This tour was phenomenal! Our tour director, Miguel, made everything operate so smoothly. Students loved experiencing the Gaudi architecture in Barcelona, city exploring in Madrid, Toledo was a fantastic day trip, and swimming in the Atlantic in Lisbon was the perfect way to end our tour. Can't recommend this one enough, we had an amazing experience.

My son loved his time in Spain and Portugal. He learned so much. He loved seeing all of the historical sites.

Awesome trip! our guide was amazing! Needed a bit more time in Madrid- and maybe a bit less in Barcelona.
