Mikaila from The Travel Byrds put together a fantastic trip for us to Vancouver. Everything was arranged to fit our preferences including experiences I would never have known how to navigate myself. What a great way to travel, no stress, all fun — because a professional does the hard part for you.

We used CeCe as our travel advisor for our European trip, and she was amazing! She was able to work with a very tight deadline, listened to all of the things we asked for, and executed the trip perfectly. It was exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend her services for anyone looking to plan a trip!

I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Christina Gaspari and The Travel Byrds! She made sure to ask plenty of questions at the beginning, kept in touch while planning to make sure the things she was going to book for us were what we wanted, and made sure we had all info we might need and more before our trip. The trip itself was incredible thanks to her! Not having to worry about anything and having a full itinerary ready full of amazing experiences and even relax time accounted for was wonderful! She really put in so much work for our trip which was to multiple countries! Thanks Christina! <3

Paige planned my week-long trip to Greece. From my very first call with her to discuss my vacation “must-haves”, I was impressed with both her knowledge and her enthusiasm. She listened to my wants, made suggestions based on our discussion and then perfectly planned my trip… from the islands we visited to the hotels to the excursions. As my trip got closer, she brought in another team member to do any final bookings and modifications. It was so reassuring to know that she and her team had everything covered. I worried about NOTHING. I cannot recommend her enough.

If I could give Sylvie more than 5 stars, I would! Planning our honeymoon to Paros, Greece and Rome and Florence, Italy felt a little overwhelming at first, but Sylvie made the entire process so easy and stress-free. She truly thought of every single detail, and I honestly couldn’t have dreamed up a better trip or a more perfect way to start our marriage. Every hotel, transfer, flight, and excursion was seamless. On top of that, the travel app she created for us was incredible. It had every piece of information we could possibly need all in one place, so even traveling somewhere completely new felt easy and organized. We never had to wonder what was next or worry about missing anything because she had already thought of it. Not only is Sylvie incredibly organized and knowledgeable, but she genuinely cares about creating an unforgettable experience for her clients. Our honeymoon exceeded every expectation, and we made memories we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives. I cannot recommend Sylvie enough. If you’re thinking about booking a trip, do yourself a favor and let her handle it. It was hands down one of the best decisions we made, and we’re already looking forward to planning our next adventure with her!

Our trip to the Rockies and National Parks was the second adventure Sylvie planned for us, and once again she knocked it out of the PARK! 🙂 Her recommendations and family excursions were spot-on and perfectly matched our interests and family dynamic. She handled all the details, taking the stress and anxiety out of the planning process. We highly recommend reaching out to Sylvie for your next trip—she’ll make sure you have an amazing experience.

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

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.
