Anniversary & Eclipse trip to Spain
Reviewed By TomN - Huntingdon Valley, Pa. | Traveled to Spain | Europe
We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary on a wonderful solar eclipse trip to Spain in August 2026. Tristina did a great job and planned out a wonderful tour for us. I am so glad we decided to go with her when we were making our choice for a tour company. Our tour was a great size with 24 fellow travelers. We visited many interesting towns & sights, had a great tour guide and well informed local guides. All the hotels we stayed in were very nice. The eclipse location was wonderful with music, food, drinks and an excellent western horizon which was needed for the near sunset eclipse. Everything ran very smoothly thanks to her planning. I cannot thank her enough.

A memory making trip!
Reviewed By Sra. Acero - MD | Traveled to Spain | Europe
When I asked Tristina to help me with an itinerary for visiting several cities in Spain I had no idea how detailed it would be.
A day by day itinerary planned with morning , afternoon and evening activities (with down time in between) Each day had links for activities, transportation and eating. It made it so easy for my son and I to plan our days in different cities!!
We were able to make many memories together and I cannot recommend Tristina highly enough!!
If you’re planning a trip to Spain she’s definitely the one to get to help you plan it.

Spain Trip 2K25
Reviewed By Jordan - Atlanta, Georgia | Traveled to Spain | Europe
Had a wonderful time in Spain this spring thanks in large part to the recommendations and planning from Tristina! After informing her that our plans were to visit Barcelona, Valencia, and Madrid, she provided a list of places to visit/things to do in each city - she even provided links to websites so we could look further into each. One of the highlights of the trip - a day trip to the Salvador Dali museum, was something Tristina found for us that wasn't initially on our radar. After we determined what we were going to do in each city, she went out of her way to create a wonderful slide presentation that detailed each day and an itinerary - even having extra places/events listed in case we had leftover time! I am very grateful for the time and effort that Tristina put into organizing our trip and highly recommend her for anyone else looking for a travel agent.

Amazing travels with Tristina!
Reviewed By Mae - Phoenix, Arizona | Traveled to Spain | Europe
Traveling with Tristina is an absolute joy! I’ve traveled with her to Spain on several occasions. Not only was it fun, but I gained an appreciation for the culture, history, and beauty of the places we visited.
Tristina’s knowledge and appreciation for the culture helped me see and experience things I never would have on my own. She planned a variety of activities, took me to “hidden treasures,” and pointed out fascinating details others might miss!
Tristina leaves no stone unturned to make sure every is detail taken care of, but the real value in working with her is her expertise and obvious love of Spain. I 100% recommend her.
Thank you, Tristina!
