Our time in Spain was originally planned for Spring Break 2020. In the fog of the early COVID days, Nigel was in regular communications with us, initially to shift our plans to ensure our safety and enjoyment and then to transparently and honestly recommend we postpone our visit. When we were finally able to plan a summer 2021 trip, Nigel graciously re-crafted our itinerary to make the most of the new season. He was always accessible, enthusiastic, honest, and knowledgable in the planning stage. Once we arrived to Spain, he continued to be very accessible, checking in with us at appropriate times along the way and quickly helping us solve any travel glitches we encountered. We engaged with several of Nigel's local guides as we traveled throughout the country. They were all highly dependable, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about their local region….just the best! The accommodations and experiences that Nigel set up for us reflected that he really listened and understood our wishes. We feel like we really got to know Spain, its culture, food, landscapes, and people in ways that simply would not have been possible without Nigel's wise and expert guidance. We will most certainly call on him anytime we return to the region."- Katie O.
