What travelers are saying

"Love love loved our trip to Madeira. Phillipe the guide was excellent; very personable, knowledgeable, passionate about his island, helpful and fun! 10 out of 10. The group was great fun too, my husband was one of only two men vs 12 / 13 woman which caused a lot of laughs (at his expense). The itinerary was full on which left little time between getting back to the hotels and going out for dinner which was poss the main downside. The hotel in Santana wasn't great but the ones in Porto Moniz and Funchal were much better. As a vegan I struggled in the North of the island but knew that might be the case, I had bread and my own peanut butter for breakfast and bread and hummus at lunch so not ideal. Thankfully Funchal has vegan restaurants and omni restaurants have vegan menus or dishes too so finally ate well. I loved all of the hikes, very varied and all not too far from hotels in the minibus. Loved the levada walks. All walks had steep drop offs so if you're scared of heights - don't do it! I'd highly recommend this trip. We had time in Funchal to do some additional activities and we chose to visit the Palace Gardens, take the downhill sledge from Monte and go on a dolphin watching catamaran trip - all fantastic!"

What travelers are saying

"Loved the Itinerary - just enough tour time and personal time to enjoy the sights and locations. The special touches provided by our tour director, Denise Lamas, who had such an amazing ability to individualize our trip to each of us on the tour. She was amazing, I can't say enough. So many beautiful places we visited Barcelona, Valencia, Granada, Cordoba and our favorite Seville. A beautiful hotel, a former convent in Evora, would have loved to stayed there 2 days to enjoy the hotel amenities and the grounds. Portugal was amazing with a lunch stop in a small town in Serpa where we were delighted by local musicians it was just a once in a lifetime experience. Like I said, we can't say enough about this wonderful experience, we plan on future trips with LuxuryGold and would even consider revisiting Northern Spain with the hopes of having Denise Lamas as our director once again. We loved our tour group, lifelong friendships and hope to continue traveling in the future."

Cultural Tour Selection Trips

  • Cultural tours are all about learning and gaining a deeper understanding. Be respectful and open minded.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask questions! Your tour will only be enhanced by the more you engage with locals and your guides.
  • Figure out what type of cultural experience you’re looking for. Are you interested in visiting a small, remote village for an intense, sometimes uncomfortable look at another way of life? Or are you interested in a more relaxed cultural experience, like a food tour in Italy?
