I would not have been able to take this trip to Spain with my sons without CeCe's thorough planning. She guided me through all the planning decisions that needed to be made, made all the necessary arrangements and reservations and then helped us when we had some travel issues while we were there. Most importantly she listened to what we wanted and designed the trip around that. And everything we needed on the trip was easily accessed by all of us on the Axus app!

Jordan Hall and the Travel Byrds team did a fantastic job helping us plan and execute our recent trip to Octoberfest, Dolomites, Lake Como, and Tuscany. Jordan is very knowledgeable and organized, and guided us all the way through the process. I highly recommend Jordan and her team, and we will definitely use her for all future trips.

Christina was amazing. She was always available for questions or concerns both before and during our trip to Greece. She and her team made sure our trip was exactly what we wanted. We were able to cancel an adventure with no problem while we were already on our vacation. Our trip was so awesome due to Christina and her team! We will use Travel Byrds again!

Monica Bowen, from Travel Byrds provided excellent service for our trip to Ireland and Scotland. Everything was perfect from all our hotels and one vrbo/airbnb to the most fabulous driver Loraine Doyle! All the activities we chose to partake in from her numerous suggestions were fabulous! Thank you!

We laid out an idea of a trip to Ireland for a week and then on to Italy for a week. Alex took it from there! She booked our flights, our transfers, our excursions, our hotels, our rental car. She conferred with us every step of the way. She kept within our budget. She had tips and travel wisdom we would have never known on our own. She was completely available for any questions we had even while on our trip. Our excursions were Trinity College, the Guinness Storehouse (it was sold out on arrival but we had booked ahead at Alex’s recommendation!) We saw Connemara and Killarney National Park, Kylemore Abbey, the Cliffs of Moher, Dingle Peninsula, Cork, Blarney Castle. All went without a hitch. In Italy she booked an all day boat ride on the Amalfi Coast that was exquisite. She booked St Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican, Vatican museum, colosseum, forum Palantine Hill in Rome with passes that took us to the front of the line, a rental car to drive to Lanciano and the Adriatic. She booked our trains to Rome and Florence. She booked the Uffizi in Florence and a wine tour in Tuscany. All the tickets are held in one place on the Travel Byrds app that you don’t need Wi-Fi to pull up. No scrambling to find tickets. Recommendations and information about each site is provided. Each hotel she booked was absolutely lovely with incredible service. We could not have found these places on our own. I will never travel again without Alex. I want to shout it from the rooftops! You will save money, save headaches and see things, experience the world far better than if you try it on your own! Thank you Alex for your travel wisdom, kindness, and for making our dream come true!

I met Christina (CeCe) when I joined a group to travel to Madagascar and the Seychelles recently. The trip was action packed, well paced, and entirely enjoyable. CeCe was on the ball each and every day to handle the needs of our group. The accommodations, tour guides, experiences and restaurants she arranged included many local places we visited and allowed us to immerse ourselves in the local cultures and people. It was an unforgettable trip and I will never forget CeCe and all she did for all of us (especially me and my travel partner!). She is a treasure and knows what she's doing!

Excellent service for folks who love to vacation but hate the details involved. My travel bird researched and booked my entire vacation leaving me to simply show up and enjoy! The price of the service also, cannot be beat. I strongly recommend Erika and Travel Byrds.

We used Travel Byrds for the first time this summer to help plan a family trip to Italy and Tera was wonderful! She really took the time to listen to our needs and was patient as we inevitably made several changes to our plan. The trip was amazing and her help did not end when we left. I would highly recommend Tera and the Travel Byrds!

Ashley was amazing to work with while planning our honeymoon! We felt super safe while getting to our resort with the private transportation she booked and we stayed at a beautiful resort that was perfect for us! We highly recommend Ashley!

I had never worked with a travel advisor before and wasn't sure what to expect. From my first conversation with Ashley, I immediately felt comfortable. She listened to what I wanted, gave me different options and helped me work through them without making anything feel overwhelming. Once we decided, she handled EVERYTHING. I didn't realize how much time and stress goes into planning a trip until I didn't have to do it myself! No hours of research, comparing endless options, nervously double-checking reservations or keeping track of confirmation numbers. Ashley handled it all, and everything we needed while traveling was organized right in the app. I'm honestly kicking myself for not using a travel advisor sooner. The entire experience was so much easier, and I can't wait to work with her again.

Our Asheville girls trip was the perfect combination of nature, great food and beautiful scenery. Ashley built the itinerary around exactly what we wanted. We ziplined through the fall foliage, explored the Blue Ridge Parkway, hiked trails that matched our abilities, toured the Biltmore and took in the views from Chimney Rock. She also found amazing local restaurants and handled our reservations. Watching the sunset over the mountains during dinner at the Omni Grove Park Inn was unforgettable. The best part was never having to ask, "What do you want to do today?" Everything was thoughtfully planned, but we still had the freedom to enjoy the trip at our own pace. We could just be present and enjoy our vacation instead of spending it figuring out what to do next.

Tera and Flora were absolutely amazing to work with! We could not have had a better experience with them and the amazing trip they planned for us! I wish I could give more than 5 stars. They helped us plan our Honeymoon to Italy and through their app they have everything laid out for you along with guidance and advice depending on where you are going! They were very adaptive to any alternatives we wanted to make and were so quick to make bookings for us. Highly highly recommend Travel Byrds for a perfectly planned trip!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Erin at The Travel Birds! This was my first time ever using a travel agent, and as someone who is admittedly a bit of a control freak when it comes to travel, handing over the planning was a big deal for me. I typically spend hours researching and planning every detail of our trips myself. But when we decided to spend 12 days traveling through Ireland—and I knew I would also be driving—I started feeling a little overwhelmed trying to coordinate the itinerary, accommodations, transportation, and all of the details that go along with a trip like this. That’s when Erin stepped in, and I am SO glad she did. She took care of everything and planned an absolutely wonderful vacation for us while staying within our budget. It was such a relief knowing that all of the details had been thought through and taken care of, and I was actually able to look forward to the trip instead of stressing over planning it. Erin was incredible to work with, and the entire experience completely changed my mind about using a travel agent. I would 100% recommend Erin and The Travel Birds to anyone planning a vacation—especially if you want someone you can trust to handle the details and make the process easy. I can confidently say I’m officially converted! Erin and The Travel Birds will be planning our future vacations from here on out. ❤️✈️

Been there, planned that

Our Team in Spain

We don’t sell places we haven’t been. Our advisors have stood on Gaudí’s rooftops, wandered Park Güell and taken in Spain’s great views for themselves, so the advice you get comes from experience.

Why Spain

Need a reason to experience Spain?

Big cities, Moorish palaces, island coves and some of the best food in Europe, all in one country. Tap through to see what’s waiting for you.

Barcelona’s rooftops stretching to the sea, framed by the spires of the Sagrada Família

Gaudí, the sea and the late-night buzz

Barcelona pairs world-class architecture with a Mediterranean beach. Gaudí’s Sagrada Família and Park Güell sit a short ride from the medieval lanes of the Gothic Quarter and the tapas bars of El Born.

Base yourself on Passeig de Gràcia or by the water, and add day trips to Montserrat, the Costa Brava or the cava cellars of the Penedès.

  • Skip-the-line Sagrada Família with a private guide
  • Modernista architecture on Passeig de Gràcia
  • Cava, tapas and the Boqueria market
Aerial view of Madrid’s Gran Vía and the domed Metropolis Building at golden hour

Royal palaces and world-class art

Spain’s capital is grand by day and lively by night. Tour the Royal Palace, then spend a morning with Velázquez and Goya at the Prado before an afternoon in Retiro Park.

Madrid is also the perfect hub for day trips to Toledo, Segovia and Salamanca, all an easy train ride away.

  • The Prado, Reina Sofía and Thyssen museums
  • Tapas crawls through La Latina
  • Day trips to Toledo and Segovia
Plaza de España in Seville with its tiled bridges, towers and canal

Moorish palaces and flamenco nights

Southern Spain is where the country’s most romantic images come from: the Alhambra in Granada, the Mezquita in Córdoba and the orange-scented streets of Seville.

Evenings mean flamenco, sherry and tapas, while the white villages and the Costa del Sol are never far away.

  • Timed entry to the Alhambra’s Nasrid Palaces
  • Private flamenco and sherry experiences
  • Seville, Granada and Córdoba by train
Sailboats anchored in the turquoise water of Cala Macarella, Menorca

Turquoise coves and island villas

The Balearic Islands each have their own personality. Mallorca has mountain villages and a soaring Gothic cathedral, Menorca is all quiet coves, and Ibiza pairs a UNESCO-listed old town with beach clubs.

They’re a short flight from Barcelona or Madrid, so it’s easy to end a city trip with a few days by the sea.

  • Boutique hotels and private villas
  • Yacht charters and hidden beaches
  • Easy to pair with Barcelona

One of the world’s great food countries

From tapas bars and market halls to Michelin-starred tasting menus, Spain eats well and eats late: lunch around 2 pm and dinner from 9 pm.

We’ll book the tables that are hard to get, and add cooking classes, wine tastings in Rioja or the Penedès, and paella in its Valencian home.

  • Private tapas tours with local guides
  • Winery visits in Rioja, Ribera del Duero and the Penedès
  • Paella and cooking classes

Exceptional places to stay

Spain’s Most Memorable Hotels

From Belle Époque palaces in Madrid to a parador inside the Alhambra’s grounds, these are the kinds of places we love to build a Spain journey around.

Madrid

Grand dames, reborn

The Mandarin Oriental Ritz and the Four Seasons Madrid pair landmark buildings with spas and some of the city’s best restaurants.

Barcelona

By the beach or on the boulevard

Stay above the Mediterranean at Hotel Arts, or on elegant Passeig de Gràcia, steps from Gaudí’s Casa Batlló and La Pedrera.

Seville

Andalusian palace style

The Hotel Alfonso XIII, built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition, is a short walk from the cathedral and the Real Alcázar.

Paradores

Castles and monasteries

Spain’s state-run paradores occupy historic buildings. In Granada, the parador sits inside the Alhambra’s grounds.

Costa del Sol

Glamour by the sea

Marbella’s legendary Marbella Club Hotel sets villas and gardens beside the beach, with golf and the white villages nearby.

Mallorca

Mountain-village retreats

Belmond La Residencia in Deià looks out over the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO-listed landscape of terraces and olive groves.

We’ll match each stay to your style, and secure the room upgrades and perks our partners offer.
