Joe and his group of friends traveled from Ontario, Canada, to spend 12 days exploring Spain. He told us that seven of his friends joined him on the trip when they heard about the fantastic itinerary that Angela had created for him:
“We travelled to Seville, San Sebastien, and Madrid. We started with 2 travelers, but we quickly grew to 8 of us as our family and friends wanted to join us when they saw our great travel itinerary. Our trip included planes, trains and private cars and private guides for our group and was extremely well planned by Angela and her colleague Paloma. They also worked with us to book all our restaurants to make sure we had guaranteed reservations for all 8 of us for our dinners. The hotels were great, the guides were great, the transportation was great, and the restaurants were great. Angela and Paloma were always in touch with us before and throughout our trip and their quick responsiveness to any of our questions was amazing. I can’t thank them enough for our wonderful trip. We have travelled many places over many years, and they are truly top of class. I would use them again in a heartbeat for any travel in areas they cover and highly recommend them to all others.”
BEFORE TRAVELING, AMERICAN GROUPS OFTEN ASK THEMSELVES PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Before embarking on a trip to Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, American groups often ask themselves numerous practical questions. Advance planning is essential for those crossing the Atlantic in search of enriching cultural experiences.
American travelers frequently ask about documentation requirements. To visit Spain and Portugal, American citizens need a passport valid for at least six months after their arrival. They do not need a visa for stays of less than 90 days for tourism purposes. However, although a visa is not required for short stays in Morocco, it is advisable to check the latest requirements.
One of the main concerns for groups of American friends who want to explore these three fascinating countries is safety during the trip.
Another common question concerns language. While many professionals in tourist areas of Spain and Portugal speak English, this may be less common in Morocco. Therefore, having bilingual guides can significantly improve the travel experience.
Questions about electrical outlets, mobile connectivity, and payment options are also common before organizing trips for groups from the US.
Finally, many American groups ask about local traditions and cultural protocols to ensure a respectful and authentic experience.
BELOW ARE SOME TIPS FOR ORGANIZING GROUP TRIPS FROM THE US:
Advance planning and attention to specific details are essential when organizing a group trip from the United States to Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. The key is to begin preparations at least six to eight months in advance, especially when traveling with American friends who have different schedules and expectations.
Flexibility in the itinerary is the difference between a pleasant trip and an exceptional experience for American groups.
First, designate a main coordinator to centralize communication with the local travel agency. This person should gather the group’s preferences regarding accommodations, travel pace, and priority experiences.
It is also important to consider the season. Spring and fall offer ideal weather and fewer tourists in these three Mediterranean destinations. For American travelers, avoiding July and August can mean a more authentic and comfortable experience.
Additionally, it is advisable to schedule free days within the itinerary. This allows group members to explore according to their personal interests, thereby adding value to the collective travel experience in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco.
Enoch and Carmela traveled with two couples who are friends of theirs, forming a group of six friends who enjoyed an incredible trip through Spain:
“My husband and I traveled with two other couples. Samuel was recommended by a friend in Panama. The experience was on another level. Samuel and his team organized our trip in Spain, thinking of every detail.
The private tours in Spain, guides, drivers, and Samuel himself took care of us at all times. It was the best money we spent on the entire trip.
Our vacation in Spain would not have been so fabulous without the help of Samuel and his travel agency in Spain. It was well worth the investment.”
