Here’s what they have said

Alentejo October 2023

You could not have done more. You work so hard researching the trips, planning every detail and making sure that everyone has a great time and is well looked after. Although it is obvious you work incredibly hard behind the scenes, you conduct affairs with a light touch and a great sense of humour. This all contributes massively to the success of your trips and helps ensure that your groups all get on. Jose and I had a great time and I know we weren’t alone. A huge ‘Thank You’ from us both.

Why Vejer de la Frontera

It’s breathtakingly beautiful. Your first glimpse of the town is as a blinding flash of white on a hilltop against the bluest of blue skies. Up close it’s just as easy on the eye, too – a labyrinth of narrow, cobbled streets winding its way between quiet squares, churches and handsome historical buildings, it’s a photographer’s dream.
