"JOEL IS THE BEST!!"

I was working with Joel for over a year to plan this amazing trip. Everything from the food, to the one of a kind experiences, to the amazing places we stayed in were enchanting.

He organized everything and we have a detailed plan ahead of time. He also accommodated a lot of changes that we needed and was there 24/7 to trouble shoot during the trip incase anything happened.

I truly enjoyed this trip, so did the 16 other people that joined... We know we couldn't have done it the same without Joel or his team.

"IndiansInSpain"

We had the most wonderful experience with Galangal Travels and especially with Irene for our tour of Spain. Galangal (Irene) ensured we did not have to worry about anything from the time we landed in Barcelona until our departure from Madrid. Galangal booked everything; our hotels, trains, chauffeured van transport, car rental, city tours and even restaurants. It was a wonderful trip. One of the highlights was Irene arranged for a horse-riding expedition where we got to see a working Spanish horse ranch and farm/hacienda. We were warmly welcomed by the owner and family and given several demonstrations of Spanish horsemanship. Additionally, one of the gentlemen, Mr. Angel Peralta (an excellent equestrian), took us on tour via horse carriage of the hills around Cordoba ending at a premier equestrian facility. The cherry on top was that, he let our daughter (a budding equestrian) ride and jump one of his champion horses. It is a memoir we will always cherish, especially our daughter.
Irene continually worked with us to ensure we had a wonderful trip of Spain. She was given our travel plans with very short notice, but was able to accommodate us despite us making many changes in travel plans. In fact, there were several times where we Skyped after midnight (Spain time) which helped instill a sense of confidence that Galangal, and Irene especially, are really putting well over 100% effort into our trip. One example was an unpredicted taxi strike had started in Spain a bit before our arrival in Barcelona. Initially we had plan to take a taxi from the airport to the hotel and then to the train station to start our trip of Southern Spain. With this option unavailable, Irene quickly booked a private van for the ride to the hotel and to the train station. Not an easy feat considering that demand for private vans skyrocketed, and the taxi drivers not taking kindly to competitors disrespecting their strike. Irene continually stayed in touch during our tour, checking to see if we enjoyed the day’s excursion and recommending places to eat at the various locations. She even took the time to meet us at the end of our trip in Madrid, where she gifted us a memorable framed photograph of us with Mr. Peralta, horse carriage, on some Roman ruin overlooking Cordoba. She is a lovely young lady full of energy and enthusiastic about her work.
We highly and heavily recommend Galangal Travel and Irene for a tour of Spain, and will certainly consider using their services for our future travels.

"Absolutely Delightful"

Irene and Galangal could not have done a better job! Aside from their incredibly thoughtful and custom itinerary, they managed to sprinkle in their well traveled and knowledgeable taste of Spain into every moment. I would highly recommend their service and I would trust Irene and Galangal to take the reins for my next trip!

"An amazing trip 100% recommended"

It was amazing. I organized with Galangal Roots a trip to Salamanca, where I asked my girlfriend to marry me. They were helpful, efficient and profesional. Wine, cheese and jamón ibérico tastings, spa, menú, it was a great foodie experience.
I’m very glad I chose them to organize this trip, and I will for sure travel with them again.
100% recommended

It was a great trip! We did not have to think, everything was perfectly arranged, well timed and well thought according to our requests. I would highly recommend them.

An amazing trip. We ate in some incredible places and stayed in the most perfect hotels. I recommend Galangal with all my heart. It would be impossible to explore Spain in such a way without them.

"Galangal was incredible"

Galangal was incredible, never had such a gorgiuos experience before. I hardly recomend their services.

"We will use Galangal for our next trip to Spain. Excellent."

Fantastic tour in Barcelona. First day Joel took us to the wine country of Priorat for a wonderful tour and tasting at Clos Mogador followed by a traditional Catalonian lunch. It was a fantastic day. The next day we did a walking tapas tour of Barcelona stopping at the most unique and interesting spots that one would not find on a tour map. He took us to very special, small tapas bars where the food, stories, and people were unmatched. We will use Galangal for our next trip to Spain. Excellent.

"Irene did an amazing job planning every…"

Irene did an amazing job planning every detail of our trip and took all of the stress out of planning a vacation. There were fun surprises she planned for us at every turn of our trip. I highly recommend Irene and Galangal for your trip planning experiences. Thank you for the best vacation I have experienced so far in my life!
