“All of our guides were 10 out of 10”

In a nutshell, all our guides were a solid 10 out of 10… Knocked it out of the ballpark. They were all amazing. Not only did they have all of the historical aspects, but they were very engaging and fun.

“We highly recommend MfS&P”

MfS&P did an excellent job for us. We had marvelous drivers and tour guides at every turn. The tours were designed well. We particularly enjoyed our tour guide in Barcelona, our cooking class in Barcelona and our Tapas tour in Madrid. Both of our tour guides in Madrid were also excellent, including our guide in Toledo. All of the drivers were friendly and courteous and on time, and often early. We highly recommend MfS&P.

“excellent ambassadors”

What made all these memories even better were each of the tour guides. They were knowledgeable, thoughtful, intelligent, and to a person excellent ambassadors of their respective regions and areas of expertise. All of what they shared with us, the evocative art work, stunning historic and modern architecture, amazing geographical vistas, and the extraordinary meals spoke to our hearts, souls — and stomachs! We unreservedly recommend Virginia and her team.

“truly VIP”

I just returned from a stunning trip to Spain, and I wanted to let you know that our great partner, Virginia Irurita and her team at MfS&P, made it extra special, and proved once again that our Virtuoso on-sites are indeed our secret sauce to make every journey for our VIP guests truly VIP, truly unique. At each stop, we learned about the place or monument we were seeing with all the color, history, context anyone could want. Not TOO much. Just right.

“experiences which were priceless”

We have wonderful stories to tell about each town and a few “unexpected” experiences which were priceless… Every driver and guide were absolutely professional, knowledgeable and friendly! Even the person who met us in Seville and helped put our baggage on the train was wonderful. Not only were our accommodation first class but the drivers and guides were too.

“an incredible trip to Spain”

MfS&P planned an incredible trip to Spain for our family, with the kind of experiences that we’re quite sure no other travel agent would have access to.

“invaluable guidance in planning”

A big thank you to your team for making our family trip to Portugal so memorable. The MfS&P team provided invaluable guidance in planning our visit. Having a multi-generational family that travels together with English OR French as a first language and a football match that changed dates (!!) did not deter them in creating a seamless itinerary by choosing guides who could facilitate it all.

“OUR MOST WONDERFUL VACATION”

[We] wanted to express our great thanks to you and your team for the planning and oversight of our most wonderful vacation…. You had every day, every detail covered. The hotels were fantastic and located perfectly. The history, the beauty, the kindness of the people of each country. But most importantly were the guides, hosts and drivers. They became personally involved with us and made us feel a part of the family.
We can’t think of how our 50th anniversary could have been any better.
