Vienna, the Austrian Alps & Bavaria
Our client wanted Vienna — but more than that, they wanted something genuinely different once they left the city. Vienna was done properly: a group tour of Schönbrunn, time to explore the city at their own pace, and reserved tables at Gerstner and Café Landtmann. Not just coffee, but an education in what Viennese coffee house culture actually means. Unhurried, old-world, and worth every minute.
Then five days on the road. The first stop was Admont Abbey — not on most itineraries, rarely crowded, and home to one of the most extraordinary library rooms in Europe. From there we based them in Bad Goisern, a quiet alpine town that most travelers drive straight through on their way to Hallstatt. Since they were early risers, we had them in Hallstatt first thing in the morning — lake still, streets empty, the village completely to themselves before the day tours arrived. Two nights in Salzburg so it never felt rushed, in a boutique hotel in the old town. A salt mine tour. Then south to Füssen, where the next morning was an easy 15-minute drive to Neuschwanstein — a hike around the grounds before the tour groups arrived, then the castle itself.
On the way back, a night in Kufstein at the Auracher Löchl, a historic inn that has been feeding people since the 15th century. Lunch the following day at a nearly empty restaurant above the Attersee — exceptional food, views across the lake to match. And finally an evening in the Wagram wine country — a practical choice over the more famous Wachau given their return schedule, but the family-run hotel with its own wine cellar turned out to be one of the highlights of the whole trip.

Costa Brava
Our client was based in Barcelona but wanted to slow down for a few days — no more city noise, no more rushing. Rather than keeping them in the city or booking them into a busy coastal resort, we based them in Peratallada, a medieval village in the heart of the Baix Empordà that most visitors to the region never find. Cobblestone streets, a 10th century castle, and almost no one around.
We put them in an adults-only hotel with breakfast included so their mornings were unhurried and the day started on their terms. Peratallada itself has a handful of genuinely good restaurants, so evenings were easy — no need to drive anywhere or plan ahead.
From that base, each day had its own rhythm. A morning at the beach followed by the Dalí Museum in Figueres — surreal in every sense. A full day in Girona, one of Spain's most underrated cities, wandering the Jewish quarter and up to the cathedral. And a half day on the Camino de Ronda, the coastal path that threads along the cliffs above the sea. Three days, one base, no rushing.

Basque Country
Our client was traveling in July and wanted to escape the heat without leaving Spain — and wanted food to be at the center of the trip. The Basque Country was the natural answer. Cooler, greener, and home to one of the most serious food cultures in the world.
We based them in Bilbao for the full four days. On the first night we put them in a Michelin-starred restaurant — not to be flashy, but because it set the right tone immediately and gave them a benchmark for the rest of the trip. From there they ate their way through the old town, working through pintxos bars in the Casco Viejo at their own pace. Bilbao rewards that kind of wandering. With only four days, we made a deliberate choice to stay rooted in Bilbao rather than splitting time with San Sebastián — it meant they actually got to know the city rather than passing through two places and feeling like they'd properly seen neither. We also built in a half day at Areeta, the beach neighborhood just outside the city, where they crossed the Puente Colgante — the Vizcaya Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the world's oldest transporter bridge. An easy detour that most visitors never make.
Culture ran alongside the food throughout. A day out to Guernica — a town that carries enormous historical weight and is home to Picasso's most powerful work, seen in person at the local museum. And a hike out to Gaztelugatxe, a hermitage perched on a rocky island off the coast, reached by climbing 241 stone steps above the sea. Dramatic, remote, and completely unlike anything else in the region. Game of Thrones fans will recognize it — but it earns its reputation on its own terms.
