Nope. Major tourist trap. Extremely crowded and not worth the effort. Dark and many stairs. Stay away

Kayaking on the Guadalquivir river

Seville

Would not recommend. Restroom was gross, not even by third world standards. Staff was impersonal. They only had one boat and it was leaking. Almost tipped over near the end when boat wave swamped us. Mikele was guide and did a great job though, despite a leaking kayak. Scenery was OK.

Dalia organised a fantastic itinerary which covered all of the sites/places we were keen to see across northern Spain. The tours and hotels were all very good, and made for an enjoyable holiday.

Dalia is a fabulous travel specialist. After talking to us through emails and phone calls, we were able to decide where we wanted to go for our 2 week trip to Spain, and what we wanted to do when we got there. We went to Madrid, Toledo, Sevilla, Granada, Cartegena, Valencia and Barcelona. With her help she booked us into super nice - but also within our budget - hotels that were very close to the city centers and the attractions we wanted to go to, which included museums, parks, Roman ruins,... read more

Dalia is a fabulous travel specialist. After talking to us through emails and phone calls, we were able to decide where we wanted to go for our 2 week trip to Spain, and what we wanted to do when we got there. We went to Madrid, Toledo, Sevilla, Granada, Cartegena, Valencia and Barcelona. With her help she booked us into super nice - but also within our budget - hotels that were very close to the city centers and the attractions we wanted to go to, which included museums, parks, Roman ruins, cultural events and good places to eat. Dalia lives in Spain and speaks perfect English as well, and was ALWAYS available to communicate with us before and during our trip, but the time difference to the US made it easier once we got to Spain. While we were there, she would instantly respond to any questions I had about language, customs, etc.
We were booked with several tours including the Alhambra in Granada, the Roman ruins at Italica, a winery tour and Toledo, and the Gaudi tour in Barcelona. I want to give a special mention to Enrique, our guide to Alhambra, who was the nicest person and so educated about his city in general. He was born there. We took his suggestion for a restaurent and had a wonderful meal there, and he was there with his wife. He even came over to our table and bought my appetizer! I'm glad we tip well in general but he didn't need to do that. Also, our guide in Italica (what was his name???) was fabulous and funny. And our guide in Toledo spent some free time showing us around the cathedral when he didn't have to before our wonderful winery tour.
With Dalia's help she rented a car for us, got us 2 sets of train tickets and timed tickets for the Prado. I absolutely always felt supported by her, as much as if I had a friend on hand who was able to answer all my questions.
This is our third trip booking through KimKim and they honestly do a really good job at finding the right people to help travelers get around an unfamiliar country on their own.

Toledo group tour

Spain

Toledo was an interesting old city but the best part of our time there was our guide took us around the Cathedral and he was good, I think his name was Majed. Also we went to a winery afterwards and that was excellent. The woman was warm and funny and smart who showed us around and did the wine tasting with us. We bought some to take home and my husband told me I asked him what we can throw away in our carry on so we can get my wine home! It was a fun day all around.

Seville

Such an interesting place and only a 1/2 hour outside of Sevilla! Really if you like Roman ruins you have to see this place. They filmed the last GOT episode here! Our guide, Alfonso Jose, was amazing. Funny, well-read and passionate about the subject. Great 1/2 day, worth the time and money.

Alhambra Private Guided Tour

Spain

Such an interesting palace with a rich history! Wear good walking shoes. Enrique was our guide and he was just the best. He grew up in Granada and told us about so much history, not just of Alhambra but also of Granada and it's people. He has been doing tours there for so long that every single person who worked there greeted us and I told him he was like the "Mayor of Alhambra". :)

Gaudí Barcelona: Sagrada Familia Tour and Artistic: The best of Gaudi with Park Güell Visit

Barcelona

We went with a big tour and that is not so much our style. However, we did get to see everything - the Sagrada Familia and the Park Guell, and they are spectacular. I would suggest to either have a private tour or go on your own with information so you know what you are seeing because these are out of this world sights and emblematic of Barcelona. Once you see them, you will know what all the fuss is about, believe me.

Of course, the Guggenheim was breathtaking, and the food was absolutely delicious everywhere! People were friendly and helpful throughout our trip. We leave beautiful Basque country with fond memories and a promise to return.

We traveled to Madrid, Toledo, Cordoba, Sevilla, Granada, Mallorca, and Barcelona. The transportation that Dalia arranged was flawless. From private drivers, to trains, car rental and inter-country flights, everything was coordinated and timed perfectly. Dalia was available throughout the trip on What's Ap to help with any questions, restaurant recommendations, etc. We had private guides throughout. They were uniformly excellent and had a great depth of knowledge about the sites that we visited. Some of the highlights included the Prado Museum, the Montilla olive oil & wine region day trip, the Sevilla Tapas & Flamenco Evening Tour, the Iberian Ham experience in Aracena Natural Park, the island of Mallorca, a Market Tour + Cooking Class in the Gothic quarter of Barcelona, and a walking city tour of Gaudi's masterpiece, the Sagrada Famila.
We requested small boutique hotels rather than the large commercial ones. We particularly enjoyed the Hotel Casa Del Poeta in Sevilla and the Cap Rocat in Mallorca.

We have travel throughout the world. This was one of our best trips ever. Thanks Dalia. Thanks Just Explore.

Wonderful trip Spain and Portugal! All aspects were extremely well organized, planned and executed. All guides, drivers, hotels and all aspects of travel were excellent. Not one detail was lacking. I am usually extremely picky about hotels and look for great deals. They did both! I don’t think I have ever stayed in such unique and accommodating hotels that were of such good class. They talk with you on the phone to make sure that your personal interests ans well ans unique needs are included in your tour. Just wonderful.

He was the perfect guide and extremely knowledgeable; providing us history , taking us to a fabulous restaurant for lunch, visiting incredible sites (Prak guell, sagrada familia).

From zip lining in Toledo to riding camels in Tangiers, Morrocco; from hot air ballooning in Cordoba to olive oil tastings and wine tastings in Montilla.....Dalia had us covered every step of the way. The lodging she recommended was exceptional. Every apartment and hotel exceeded expectations. And what can we say about the tour guides? Daniel in Toledo was like a long-lost older brother to our sons. Juan brought royal Madrid to life. And there was Said in Tangiers.....making certain that the city was magical and going the extra mile to ensure we did not miss our ferry home. We cannot wait to come back to explore in greater detail. I would recommend working with Dalia to anyone looking to visit the region.

Day trip to Tangiers

Spain

First and foremost, Said and Said (our Moroccan host and guide) made certain that we filled every minute of our day trip to Tangiers. The driving tour of the city was breathtaking. RIding camels on the beach was a once in a lifetime experience. The lunch in the old city was off the charts (don't miss the soup....even on a hot day!!!). Walking the markets, the spice stores, the synagogues of the old city was magical. My younger son had lots of questions and Said answered everything. We can't wait to explore Morocco further.

Madrid Guided Tour

Juan was unbelievably knowledgeable and engaging. His passion for Madrid is worn on his proverbial sleeve. He recounted the history of bullfighting to my teenage boys and took them to the Madrid bullring. The tour of the royal palace was spectacular. But best of all was walking the streets and asking questions. Juan is a one-man encyclopedia. He took us to a special market that locals frequent for lunch. So much fun!!! He even helped us set up our own walking tour back to the hotel once our tour was over. Juan is an all-star guide and an all-star person!!

Toledo Day Trip with Private City Tour & ziplining (Self-drive)

Is there a more energetic and passionate guide than Daniel? He is charisma personified. If so, I need to see it to believe it. By the end of the tour my teenage boys thought he was their long-lost older brother that we never told them about. His love for his hometown of Toledo is worn on his sleeve. The walking tour of the old city was a true walk through history. We loved every step. If you are coming to Toledo, Daniel is your guy hands down!!!!!

From our hot air balloon captain to our friends at Juan Colin (the kings of olive oil) to the winemakers at Montilla Moriles...you won't encounter finer people. And to top it off, you get to spend time with one of nicest people walking the earth in Dalia.....who opens this world of sensory experiences to all.
