My wife and I engaged Magical Private Travel (“MPT”) to manage our recent 18-day trip to Spain and Portugal. We worked closely with Dan, the Founder of MPT, as well as Rachel, the Senior Travel Specialist and a Partner. Both Dan and Rachel were great to work with! I have always planned our trips on my own and am quite detailed and meticulous when building our itineraries. For this trip I decided it was time to “retire” from trip planning even though I was a little nervous turning the planning and execution over to someone else. We could not have found a better company to handle our trip! Dan and Rachel initially spent time learning our interests and preferences. During the itinerary planning and design they were very good listeners, timely, patient with the large volume of my questions and revision requests and the end-product was everything we hoped it would be. As far as the tour itself, the itinerary was perfect. The excursions were fantastic, consistent with our interests and with durations that allowed the right amount of time to relax a bit. The tour guides for our excursions were all top-notch – 5 stars across the board. It is clear that MPT has done its due diligence in building a great team of guides. The hotels were all very nice with breakfast included. Our logistics included 2 high-speed train transfers with the remainder being vehicle transfers. All of the transportation activities were timely with very nice trains/vehicles and the drivers were all professional and safe drivers. One option they offer that we really appreciated was their all-inclusive logistics service. This included both departure and arrival baggage handling at both airports and train stations as well as a service person who guided us through both airports (including walking through the passport and security processes) and train stations. If you are interested in a high quality private tour you cannot go wrong picking MPT to build your dream trip!!!

What an amazing Andalusian adventure that Dan, Rachel & their team put together for our little traveling troupe of four! We told them what we were looking for and voila, they made it happen! Starting with drivers to pick us up at the airport or move us from town to town while we enjoyed the scenery. Private tours with extremely knowledgeable guides. Beautiful hotels with storied pasts. Our private cooking class in Seville w/Amelia & Carmen that we didn't want to end & we're still talking about. Only to be followed by a meetup with Dan where he took us on a mini-tour of some of his favorite places near our hotel in Seville. A totally one of a kind afternoon tour, wine tasting and lunch with Flavio (the owner) at the convent/winery was so much fun and beyond our expectations! Not to mention all the dinner reservations Rachel made in advance which just made it so much easier on us after a day of touring - and all great choices. The icing on the cake was meeting up with Dan in Seville and having him show us some of his favorite places near our hotel. Those extra touches and their expertise made this whole trip a true five star experience. Thanks you...your Forever Fans from Cincinnati
