About this trip

Thanks for joining this day trip, Stacey. We hope to see you again in the future. 

We had a great time! A very informative tour guide all along the way. Even gave details about the local areas across the river. Food was delicious and plentiful. 

Wine & Waterfalls Day Tour - Oregon

Alissa, thank you for joining this tour. We are so glad you and your friend were able to make it. We hope to see you again in the future and wish you a fun rest of your summer. 

This trip was a fantastic day!  Chris was a wonderful tour guide: transporting us safely, knowing all the best places to go, spoiling us with treats while also being able to explain everything we saw in clear and engaging ways.  We saw beautiful waterfalls and enjoyed tasting wines and learning about Oregon wine history.  I had a wonderful day and highly recommend the excursion.

We had a fabulous time! Caroline was attentive to our needs and an extraordinary hiking guide. I will definately attend another BST trip in the future!

Leavenworth Weekend Adventure June 2024

Glad you had fun with the hiking crew. Hope to see you on another trip in the future. Have a great summer. 

Fantastic group of women and our guide was terrific! Loved all the food. Leavenworth is a great town for a weekend away. 

Carol, I'm so glad you found us and tried out the BST way in Leavenworth. We agree that Caroline is amazing and many of the other women you traveled with have also been on other BST trips - so we know they are great, too! Have a great summer and we hope to see you on a future trip. 

Such a fun trip with an amazing group of women.  Having a small group allowed us to get to know each other and bond.  None of us knew each other at the start and by the end of the weekend there were hugs all around.  Our hotel was centrally located and easy walking distance to everything. The food was outstanding with excellent restaurant choices made by our guide.  Caroline (our guide) was delightful and just a wonderful and caring person.  She was well organized, a wealth of knowledge and prepared an incredible meal for our day hike.  The Bavarian E-bike tour with Tom was also amazing - learned so much history and saw such beautiful scenery.  So glad I decided to attend and would not hesitate to do another trip with Bold Spirit Travel.

Hi Kim, 
This is great: "Florence is my love, Orvieto is my calm, and Rome is my wildcard. " I bet a lot of us from the trip feel the same way. Thanks for being with us and it seems like this was the first of more solo trips in your future!

I had such a fantastic time on the "Explore Tuscany and Umbria" tour. It was my first time doing a trip of this nature, but I'm happy to report that the ladies I met were absolutely wonderful! Our guides Regina and Michelle were amazing and introduced us to local guides and experiences plus world renown sights such as the Uffizi Gallery in Florence and the Duomo in Orvieto. I highly enjoyed the wine tasting day in the region known for Chianti Classico, the cooking class and meeting Eleonora and Ivan on their farm, and the food tour in Rome around Campo de Fiori and Piazza Navona. I also cannot forget the Duomo tour in Orvieto and going underground into the caves beneath a restaurant! Everywhere we went for group meals were fantastic and you certainly do not go to bed hungry! 
Accommodations were great, especially the hotels in Florence and Rome. The hotel in Orvieto was my least favorite, but the location is fantastic - right on the piazza with the Duomo. Having private drivers to transfer us between cities and experiences was a huge plus. I wouldn't mind taking the train for the big city transfers, however, I completely understand how complicated it can be when you have a large group to manage.
I highly enjoyed the flexible schedule we had - you had opportunities to do things as a group and you could also go and do your own thing. I hadn't solo traveled in a while so this trip was a great way for me to ease back into it, but to also have the support and friendship of a group of awesome ladies when I needed it. Many thanks to Regina and Michelle for being rockstars! I cannot wait to return to these cities and get to know them some more - Florence is my love, Orvieto is my calm, and Rome is my wildcard. 

Explore Tuscany and Umbria

Thanks for being with us and all the smiles and fun. Have a good summer as you transition to new adventures in new states!

Great trip!  Great companions, great food, great guides, and lots of interesting things to do.  I highly recommend this tour to other women.   

Thanks for your thoughtful review and for joining us in Italy. It was fun to celebrate with you. :-)

I’m not a group traveler, but this group was lovely…very compatible and actually had a lot in common. The tour guides were outstanding (except for one…the food tour in Rome…) and I saw everything I wished to see and more in each place we went! I liked the change of pace after a hectic time in Florence, slowing down and being able to walk around Orvieto, getting to know the town at my own pace…while seeing the outstanding sights. Accommodations and meals were fine in each city.  If I do any more group travel, I will certainly be doing it with Bold Spirit Travel. Thanks for the experiences!!

Thanks for taking the time to add your review, Denise. We hope your year is going well and you have fun summer plans in the works. 

Lots of fun on a beautiful day.  The guide was wonderful; very patient and easygoing.  He was also extremely knowledgeable about Oregon and its history and geology.  Van was nice and comfy.  In addition to snow shoeing and a nice lunch, he drove to Hood River and gave us a couple of hours to sightsee and we also stopped at Multnomah Falls!

Winter Snowshoe Excursion, Oregon

Grazie for joining us in Italy this year, Ramona. We hope to see you on another trip in 2025. Have a wonderful summer season.

Terrific facilitators who were so good to us, and tour guides. Accommodations were very nice in Sorrento. Itinerary well planned out. Packed a lot in a short amount of time. 

Italy: Amalfi Coast & Islands - May 24th Departure

This was a fantastic experience.  I've been to Italy before, but not this part, so it was lovely to see a whole new area.  There was a great variety of activities and wonderful shopping!!  Our group guides were outstanding, and the Local guides were fun and knowledgable. They really brought the local culture to life for us.   

Thank you for your detailed review, Kirsten. So glad you came on this trip and hope to see you on another one. Happy travels!

Such a fabulous trip with expert guides, comfortable and convenient accommodations, and a wide variety of interesting activities! Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast are an especially beautiful part of Italy. I loved the balance of group activities and meals, as well as time on our own to explore. The day on the Island of Ischia was particularly special for our group and we came back to our hotel feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. The small group experience allows for friendships to grow over dinner conversations and shared discoveries. Our guides were very helpful and kind, and I felt well-cared for every step of the way. I highly recommend this trip!

Thank you for your words, Toni. We hope to see you again on another trip or in Portland. Have a wonderful summer. :-)

Had a great time.  All the places we went were great.  Loved the two guides.  Laura at Herculaneum was informative and enthusiastic.  The same for Fabrizio.  The timing of everyday was mostly good.  The only days I felt we need more time there were the hot springs and the day we went to the three towns.  One hour isn't nearly enough.  I didn't understand why the days were not longer to have more time.  
LOVED the hotel in Sorrento!!   I understand why you chose Royal Continental in Naples.  The location was great and one block off the coast got seedy very fast.  I did notice lots of nice places near Chiaia shopping area ( spelling wrong ) but that was not as close to the heart of the city. 
I think it all went very well for a group of women who did not know each other before.  All my roommates worked out really well too.  
Not having a print out of the itinerary made it harder for me to keep tract.  I could never find it on my phone.  Even today I can't find the email with the detail itinerary.  It was really helpful to have the reminders in WhatsApp on the day we were out.  Even with that it is easy to loose time.

Thank you for make such a thought out trip with every detail, I could never find the time to do myself.

All the best,
Toni Millman

PS  I don't know how I forgot to mention Rachel.  She is the sweetest soul.  She really made the trip more enjoyable with her up aptitude with people and sunny disposition.  She is a real found gem.  Hold on to her with both hands :-)


Italy: Amalfi Coast & Islands

Thank you for your review, Casey. We love that last part: "Be bold - go for it!" :-) Thanks for being part of the Bold Spirit community of travelers. We hope you have made some good connections for future travel with new adventures buddies. Have a great summer. 


I had a great time and beautiful weather. Great accommodations, lovely and interesting fellow travelers, great food and abundant wine. The two guides were so considerate and attentive to each one of the travelers - and the local guides added detailed historical information and local tidbits. 
Be bold - go for it!

Brooke, thanks for your detailed review. We also love Herculaneum and going "back in time" there, so it's nice to hear that you feel the same way. This Amalfi trip is short and sweet - just 7 days. We hope you are inspired to return again and see more of this amazing area. Have a wonderful summer and we hope to see you again on another trip. 

I recently had the pleasure of traveling with Bold Spirit Travel to the Amalfi Coast, and it was an unforgettable experience! The itinerary was filled with unique and enriching activities that truly showcased the beauty and culture of the region. My favorite activities were exploring the ancient ruins of Herculaneum, touring an olive oil mill and lemon farm, and relaxing at a spa on the beautiful island of Ischia.

Our guides, Rachel and Ulrika, were exceptional. They helped us with getting to and from the airport, which made the trip a lot less stressful. Their knowledge and friendliness added so much to the experience, providing fascinating insights and ensuring we got the most out of each location. Regina was also super helpful with her recommendations for things to do in Rome! She always responded in a timely manner, which made our pre- planning much smoother. 

With all this being said, there are a couple of things that could enhance the experience further. Firstly, having at least one day with no planned activities would be great, giving us a chance to relax and explore at our own pace. Additionally, it would be helpful to be encouraged to bring snacks, as there were days when breakfast was at 7 am and lunch wasn’t until 1 pm, which left us quite hungry.

Overall, Bold Spirit Travel provided an amazing and well-organized adventure, and I highly recommend them for anyone looking to explore the Amalfi Coast! I definitely want to do another trip with this organization in the future. 😊

Thank you, Rande, for your review. You were a great addition to the travel crew and I am so glad you were with us and had time with your friend, too. Hope to see you on another trip. Have a good summer! 

I had a wonderful time.  Regina and Rachel went above and beyond to make our experience a memorable one.  I loved that everything was taken care of, I didn't have to think of a thing, just sit back and enjoy!  The food was amazing, the tour guides superb, and I enjoyed getting to know all the wonderful ladies on the tour.  I look forward to going on another one.  I highly recommend Bold Spirit Women.  Arrivederci/Till We Meet Again

Rande Freedman


Grazie, Karen, for the detailed review. We love hearing from you. Have a great summer and stay in touch. 

This trip was amazing! Thank you to Regina, Rachel, and the local guides for all the preparation and planning, that went into this trip. This was my first tour group trip and I would do it again! Laura, Fabrizio, Vivian, and Claudia provided the perfect amount of historical, cultural, and local information. Our driver Augustino was a pro at negotiating the narrow streets, buses, and scooters.  I loved every minute of the trip and the food was beyond expectations. This trip provided a well-planned schedule of historical, archaeological & traditional food/beverage/farm-to-table events.  We also had time on our own to explore/shop/eat. The pizza-making class was fun and delicious! The Grand Hotel Continental in Sorrento was beautiful, well situated, and had an unbelievable breakfast that included everything one could want including gelato. The Royal Continental in Naples had a great view of the Bay of Naples and was within walking distance of some great restaurants. I wish we had more time in Positano, Amalfi & Ravello, perhaps a shorter group lunch or lunch on our own that day.   The boat ride along the Amalfi coast was spectacular. The Mortella gardens were beautiful but I would have liked to have more time at the thermal pools of Poseidon too.  Just suggestions, not criticisms! No matter how much time we had on the Amalfi Coast, it wouldn't have been enough - a symptom of thoroughly enjoying the trip and not wanting it to end!

We had an amazing time - the food, wine and our accommodations were great! I would highly recommended this trip! Its life changing!!

Walking Journey: The Camino de Santiago, Spain French Way (April)

Thanks for joining in the snow fun, Jess. Hope to see you again in the PNW. 

The experience for a first time snowshoer was great. Our guide / instructor was awesome. And it was so convenient of being driven to and from the snowshoeing location.

Thanks for coming, Kristen. Now you'll be even more ready for the Camino! We appreciate your thoughtful review. 

I had so much fun! I was worried about my physical ability to snowshoe and nervous about meeting a group of strangers, but things could not have been better or gone more smoothly. There was excellent communication from the event organizers, we had a great tour guide, everyone I met was lovely, the snowshoeing itself was manageable for my ability, and it was a wonderful memorable day. Definitely recommend the day trips or longer with this group. 

Thanks for sharing your experience, Jane. We were glad to have you with us in Costa Rica. We hope to see you again on some other adventure. Pura Vida! 

We had a great time. Wonderful people, delicious food and lots of adventures! Our tour guides were extremely knowledgeable about the land and surroundings. I hope to go back again someday!!

Costa Rica Adventure: Winter Reset 2024

Thank you, Robin, for taking a moment to leave us this detailed review. I know you all had some rain on this trip but it's good to see that it was still magical. Hope to see you on another trail in the future. Thanks again. 

This trip did not disappoint ! Despite the daily rain, quite magical, it was a beautiful, enjoyable and energizing trip
The guides, Caroline and Raquel were amazing and had such good energy! They and Bold Spirit had everything organized and allowed me to “ not worry about a thing”
They were knowledgeable , caring  and fun! They dealt with any situation with great empathy and calmness 
This trip was also delicious.. maybe a walk and food tour of the Camino!
This was a trip of a lifetime one I. Hope I will never forget!
The process of “ bonding” with the women was also quite amazing and special 
I will be back! 

Walking Journey: The Camino de Santiago (October 2023)

Bonnie, thanks so much for your comment. We appreciate it. The Camino is magical and we are glad you got to experience it this year. Hope to see you on a different trail in the future. 

I really enjoyed the Camino walk. Our 3 guides each brought their own style yet complimented one another so well. The other women were fun and interesting. The trip was well organized, accommodations great, food wonderful. I liked the itinerary sheet received each day especially the back that talked about the area we would be passing through that day. The trip was everything I hoped it would be. Thank you Bold Spirit!

Walking Journey: The Camino de Santiago, Spain French Way (fall 2023)

Thank you for your thoughtful review, Nikki. We hope to see you on another adventure in the future. 

I wanted to walk the Camino but didn't want to fuss with booking hotels or finding restaurants. Bold Spirit Travel provided just what I needed. The three guides on the trip were really helpful, supportive, and knowledgeable. I always knew where I needed to go and felt safe the entire way. Additionally, I had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful group of women during my adventure.

Thank you for joining us on the Camino, Nell. See you on the next adventure. 

This was a well-run tour, with local guides who knew the Camino journey intimately and also with a supportive and conscientious Bold Spirit guide who took great care of us! Highly recommended!

Thanks for coming, Sharon. We are so happy to hear that you had a good time. We'd love to see you on another adventure in the future. :-)

It was absolutely wonderful! The driver/guide was very knowledgeable and the people in the group were very friendly. The waterfalls weee awesome and the wine was top notch! I  will definitely try to join another Bold Spirit tour.

Thank you for this thoughtful review. We appreciate it! I know others will enjoy reading all the detail you added here. It will help them imagine the experience better. See you on another journey in the future. 

The Wine & Waterfalls Day Tour was my first tour with Bold Spirit Travel and I highly recommend it! Kelley and Chris were excellent guides, keeping us on schedule as we navigated up the Gorge, engaging in conversation with great questions/ice breakers, and sharing with us the amazing history of the Gorge and surrounding areas. The group was the perfect size (less than 10) and I met some of the friendliest ladies ever, especially for an event where I didn't know anyone prior. The van Chris drove was comfortable for our adventure, and The Porter Hotel made an excellent meeting spot for its coffee shop, lobby area, and restrooms on-site. The wineries we visited were excellent as they provided a well-rounded selection of wine to sample and to showcase what the Columbia Gorge AVA has to offer from its fertile lands. Chris was super knowledgeable about Oregon wine and I learned some fantastic things from him and from the wonderful winery staff at Wy'east and Cathedral Ridge. Thank you BST and I look forward to my next trip with you! 

Thanks for coming with us, Pamela. We hope to see you on another trip in 2024. :-) 

This was a great trip.  Saw 3 waterfalls and went to 2 wine tastings.     There was some great coffee and donuts as a snack.  The Tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided history, geology information along with dining and other fun things to do in Portland, OR.   
Thanks

Hi Victoria, 
We love it when locals come and ALSO learn about this amazing place we call home. We hope to see you on another adventure. Thanks!

This was a lovely trip. The waterfalls were beautiful and fairly easily accessible.  One did require a bit of effort. The wineries were nice and the staff there was great. Chris our guide was amazing. Huge source of information. I am a local and this was a fun day.

Thank you for your feedback, Patricia. We also love Caroline - your fearless leader! She's a gem. We agree that your group was a great size for getting to know one another. We hope to see you on another trip in the future. Thanks for hiking with Bold Spirit Travel.

It was a great time; made some new friends; and learned a little bit about the area.  Loved the hotel that was chosen, and the restaurant choices were very good!  I appreciate everyone making accommodations for my food allergy; taking it all in stride!  Our 'fearless leader', Caroline, was definitely an expert on the area, and it was great to learn a little bit about the history of Leavenworth and the surrounding area.  

I also thought it was a perfect number of attendees; not too many and not too few.  Even though there was a little 'communication mix-up' at the beginning of the e-bike tour, Caroline handled the situation in stride, presenting us with alternative options.  In the end, everything worked out well (as it always does) and we had a great tour around the town!  



Leavenworth Weekend Adventure June 2023

Thanks for the review and also for joining us in Leavenworth. We hope to see you on the trail again sometime in the future. 

Our guide, Caroline, was absolutely delightful. She generously shared her local and hiking knowledge while introducing us to lovely Leavenworth. Thank you for a fun weekend and for the opportunity to meet such enchanting fellow adventurers! 

The trip was well organized with plenty of support staff.  Fantastic to travel in small group and wonderful how we all got along. Staff responded quickly to problems- 2 travelers had terrible flight issues and missed tours but Regina got them caught up as best as possible. I had new problems with foot pain and old with general joint pain. I was never rushed. Help with stairs was regularly offered. Staff went out and bought me inserts for my shoes to decrease my foot pain. During free time, Regina made cab rides available to me if walking was going to be difficult. All the restaurants were excellent as were the hotels. The only issue was that the tour felt over far too soon.

Seville and Granada: Explore Andalusia

Thank you so much, Clare. It was wonderful to have you on the trip. Hoping to make a couple of dishes from that cooking class soon. See you on another adventure! 

I had an awesome time.  Hotels were very nice and in great location.  All the tour guides were excellent.  Loved the cooking class!!!  Definitely want to travel more with Bold Spirit

Thank you, Terry! Have a great summer and we will see you in another destination in 2024. :-)

This was the Best Trip with Bold Spirit Travel...Most wonderful friendly group of professional women! We had tons of Fun, laughter, Delicious meals in abundance. Excellent local tour guides that were knowledgeable and helpful.
Beautiful, comfortable accommodations.
Regina and team at Bold Spirit Travel made this a Most Memorable time for everyone. I absolutely will travel again with them, as this was my second trip.
I Highly recommend Bold Spirit Travel !

Thanks, Dixie. It was great to travel with you again. 

Cuisine, picturesque coastal (vertical) villages, relaxing at a first-class spa, hands-on experience of making pizza, learning about archeological treasures, touring gardens.  It was marvelous!  Lots of free-time to explore on our own.  

Thanks for joining us, Holly. We appreciate the review. 

Great travel group and guides.  Enjoyed the experience 

Thanks for the review, Jodi. It was a special group of women and wonderful to get to know you an Val. Hope to see you again. Maybe on the Camino? I can picture you doing it! Take care. 

The Bold Spirit crew took our small group on a tour filled with amazing and unique experiences in breathtaking places.  Regina and Guia led the way kindly, thoughtfully, considerately and professionally. Our experienced guides were interesting and insightful.  Each accommodation offered luxury and new perspectives, while the food experiences were incredible!   Beyond that, our group of "bold spirits" were FUN! 
Salute!!

If you are considering spending a week on the Camino Trail with an organized travel company, then look no further than Bold Spirit Travel. This was an exceptionally, well organized trip from start to finish. Our guides, Caroline, Raquel and Sophie were outstanding; accommodation and food were excellent and our group of ladies were so much fun. A wonderful experience and memories that will last for ever. 
When we all placed our feet on the final scallop marker in front of the Cathedral de Santiago, no one wanted our journey together to end. I think that sentiment shared by us all speaks volumes about Bold Spirit Travel. 
It truly was a “buen Camino!”

Walking Journey: The Camino de Santiago, Spain French Way

What a wonderful and magical experience. I had a fantastic time. The food, scenery, walking and mostly the people were amazing. The guides were so informative and helpful and patient all along the Camino. I learned so much about the history of the area and the Camino. All were just simply amazing. 
It is an experience I will never forget. I look forward to my next Bold Spirit Adventure. 

What a wonderful experience!  This was my first time travelling with the Bold Spirit company and I think they did an outstanding job making sure we were taken care of.  The guides were truly amazing, striking just the right balance between leaving us to walk at our own pace and keeping track of us all along the way.  I was so glad to have their knowledge and guidance for this trip.  Personally, I can't imagine trying to do it on my own.

As far as the Camino goes, WOW.  Just WOW.  Everyone should do this at least once in their life!  The route was physically a bit more challenging than I thought it would be, but our guides kept us motivated and supported.  The unbelievable beauty of the country is just breathtaking, and then, all of sudden you come upon a small cafe to have a snack or lunch and it's just 5-star food all the way, out in the middle of nowhere.  Coming from the restaurant industry, I wonder, how do they manage to do this?  We also got to stay in truly magnificent accommodations-- centuries-old farmhouses that were renovated that were like stepping back in time.

I didn't set out to have a spiritual journey at all, but I can say it definitely refreshed my soul and restored my faith in humanity.  

Thanks for being with us, Denise. You brought good vibes to the group. :-) Let's check in later in the year about our words and how they are working out for us! 

The retreat was just what I had hoped for. A calm environment to create in with like minded supportive people. The space was comfortable and cozy. I loved not having to tote supplies to the class. Everything you needed was there.

Thank you, Terra. I think you inspired us all with your word! ;-) It's always wonderful to see you. 

This experience was both incredibly professional and personal! Regina and Kirsten's attention to detail ensured that evr part of the retreat went smoothly.  All the materials were procured and organized, the space arranged perfectly, treats and tea for all... and they created a safe atmosphere where all of us (who for the most part didn't know each other) could interact freely and comfortably. There was just the right balance of personal quiet work and time sharing. Both Regina and Kirsten offered insight into our work and I can't think of one thing that would make it any better! It was superb! And will continue to be a tradition for me every year! 

It was great to meet you Michelle. Thanks for being there with us. It was a day I will remember for a long time - it felt special! See you later this year on another adventure. 

This was a wonderful day of art exploration and fellowship! Kristen was a wonderful teacher and facilitator! Each piece of art was unique but had elements of other people’s word of intention included! 

Thanks for taking the time to add your words here, Julie. We loved having both of you with us and I know your group did too. We hope to see you again in the future. :-) 

HIGHLY recommend this trip! Everything about the Costa Brava exceeded our expectations. Excellent group leaders along with super travel companions. Exciting, educational, active, and lots of good food and scenery. I/we hope to be on a future trip with Bold Spirit Travel. Until next time! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! -Julie V. & Rob Darby

Walking The Wild Coast Tour: Spain

What a detailed and lovely review, Marina. Thanks for taking the time to write all this. I will be sure to share your kind words with Olga and Dani, too. :-) 

This trip truly exceeded our expectations in all aspects.  We hiked for 7 days straight along the beautiful coastal towns of Costa Brava, situated north of Barcelona.   The indescribable natural beauty we saw daily during our week long hike, the small group experience (there were only 6 of us), the delicious food, lovely hotels, the vastly experienced guides who also possessed and shared their knowledge of the local history and regional culture, made for an unforgettable adventure!  Additional highlights: stumbling upon small, quiet, striking in their untouched beauty, beaches.  Passing through gorgeous coastal towns where we stopped off to rest up from putting in miles of hiking to feast on some yummy food offerings such as Fideuà.  This is a traditional seafood dish of Catalunya that is similar to paella, but with noodles instead of rice. Its main ingredients are pasta noodles, fish, and shellfish. It was absolutely divine!  I will never forget the taste!  The paella we were treated to as a group was unbelievable!  We've returned from our adventure a week ago and I can still taste it!!!  I hope that I will be able to find locally something close if not the exact same flavor and quality.  Our trip organizer treated us to at least 4 dinners which were always special with unlimited wine flowing, appetizers, main dishes and desserts of our choice.  Several dinners included private rooms which added an exclusive element to our group experience.  We have also been lucky to have a nice group of folks from different parts of the US.  We all managed to connect well and have a good time!  Another highlight was a two night stay at the Hotel Trias in Palamos.  We learned that Truman Capote was a frequent guest there in his day.  No surprise there!  The moment I walked into the hotel, I knew that I was in for a real treat!  Gorgeous old world charm, sophistication, oversized rooms with expensive comfortable linens, lap pool, and the best part was the beach view from the room balcony.  I would stay there again in a heartbeat.  While hiking along the rugged coast, I literally had to pinch myself at the beauty surrounding me.  Finally, the aspect of the trip that I most worried about, was the challenge of the hike itself.  I must confess that not only did I hike it without skipping any corners but I also did it with zero blisters!!!  Highly recommend this adventure with Bold Spirit Travel!  Regina, the owner, knows her business very well and has very satisfied customers!!!

We had so much fun on this trip! I enjoyed developing new relationships and lasting relationships during the trip. Regina is the best and I will definitely go on another trip with Bold Spirit Travel.

Barcelona and the Costa Brava Tour

Mary Jane went beyond the call of duty to help us with all our needs. All of our tour guides were informative and entertaining. The thing we learned is to do Rome first before spending time in the Tuscan countryside. Rome is a bustling city and we lost our Tuscan Zen, but definitely worth seeing. 

Art & History Tour Rome

Sorrento, Capri and Positano Were amazing! I loved the culture, people and food! The stores and shopping were amazing too! 

FemCity Amalfi Coast Retreat, Italy

Excellent experience.  Everything promised in trip description and FAQs was totally accurate.  I look forward to another trip with Bold Spirit!

Barcelona and the Costa Brava Tour (September)

The trip surpassed my expectations.  I enjoyed the variety of activities -- cooking demo, shopping at food market, learning about magical Barcelona, walking tours which combined history, and experiencing the scenes of art and architectural wonders.  The organizers were responsive and well-organized.  The dining selections chosen by the organizers were spot-on.  They were helpful in every situation and were fine-tuned to making us comfortable.
