Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. No hesitation recommending them.

Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. Would send friends their way.

Barcelona & Costa Brava done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Solid operator.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Solid operator.
