TOMA & COE

Experiencia fantástica: We (there were two of us) used Toma & Coe to plan our 3-week trip mostly in Andalusia. We worked with Fernando Monton to plan our trip, and he was wonderful. We wanted a slower-paced trip, staying longer in various places—we did not want to be moving every day but instead wanted time on our own to explore. Our key request was to have good guides in every city at the begining of the stay for a thorough introductory walking tour. Fernando arranged our train tickets, our hotels, drivers to and from our hotels, our guides, tickets for special events (flamenco dancing at the Flamenco Dance Museum in Seville (we had reserved front row seating)), a wine tasting, visiting a small family olive farms; restaurant reservations (he got us reservations when we couldn’t for a famous restaurant in Valencia); etc. etc. We communicated with Fernando on What’s App if we needed anything or had questions.. In sum, the itinerary he prepared for us was excellent, the guides were excellent, the drivers were excellent and Fernando was excellent. Highly recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: I am posting to compliment Mariva and Fernando of Thomas & Coe for their wonderful professionalism in helping us design a dream trip to Spain for my wife's 70th birthday. Logistics were almost flawless and in the one instance where the transport company sent the driver to the wrong city. In the one small misstep, Fernando went above and beyond in getting us a taxi to the next location to keep us on schedule. We were treated like royalty.

Experiencia fantástica: Toma & Coe help me plan a fabulous trip to Andalusia and Madrid. They booked me into 4 terrific hotels, all were reasonably priced and really well located. They got all the train tickets for the 4 cities I visited and all the walking tours I took. Everything went seamlessly. And I was told in advance what to expect along the way. I was also given restaurant recommendation and suggestion for things to do. Toma & Coe helped me have a trip of a lifetime!

Experiencia fantástica: We had an excellent time on our day excursion. This was a trip I planned for my team coming from the US and the UK and everyone enjoyed it immensely. We had time to stop off at a town and wander around a bit and then off to an amazing winery in the countryside with an excellent tour and views not to mention the fantastic tapas followed by lunch. The tour guide Mayte was very friendly and knowledgeable and I learned things I didn't know even after living here for 2 years. Overall the experience was remarkable and I would highly recommend the company and our guide over any tour nearby. Thanks Mayte and team for an amazing experience and until next time cheers.

Experiencia fantástica: Geniales no, lo siguiente…. Fernando y Manni increíbles profesionales detallistas minuciosos….en fin, de los mejores profesionales que hay en el sector!!

Experiencia fantástica: What an amazing tour of Andalucia organised for us by Marivi at Toma and Coe. Amazing hotels, restaurants and activities including a cookery class, cycling the via verde, walking the Caminito del Rey, flamenco, amazing guides and wonderful weather.

Experiencia fantástica: I can't say enough good things about Toma & Coe. Fernando did an amazing job helping us plan a 12-day trip to Andalucia for our family of 5. The bespoke agenda they provided gave us the opportunity to experience the cultural, culinary and historical highlights of the region with private guides, as well as enough free time to explore other areas on our own. Each of the guides were extremely knowledgeable, personable and entertaining. They were also all very considerate and accommodating to my 75 year old father who has mobility issues. All their hotel and restaurant recommendations were exceptional. Our favorite hotel was in the countryside outside of Ronda - with spectacular views, friendly staff and spacious suites. All of our drivers were friendly and provided additional insights and information about the region. Fernando was very attentive both in the planning and during our trip. Everything went extremely smoothly and we could not have been happier. I would absolutely use Toma & Coe again and highly recommend them to anyone looking to plan a trip to the region.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing! Went with friends to walk part 2 of the Camino de Santiago from Cordoba to Salamanca. Everything was GREAT! Walking the Camino was so peaceful & the hotels we stayed in were top notch ! Manni as our guide made sure we were all taken care of! Erin was wonderful also, leading us in relaxing yoga which was much needed after our long walks! Fernando was the best in finding us places to stay & transportation on our extended visit! If you’re thinking of going to Spain or a number of other places, contact Manni at Toma & Coe you can’t go wrong Date of experience: April 2023

Experiencia fantástica: We enjoyed a fabulous trip to Madrid and Andalucia with the help of Toma and Coe. Fernando and Manni did a perfect job of arranging all the details we needed help with while also allowing plenty of flexibility for us to arrange the things we wanted on our own. Manni suggested fabulous hotels that I'm sure I would not have found on my own. All of the properties were smaller boutique hotels which gave us a much more authentic feeling experience for our trip. We hated to leave each hotel but then would find the next hotel to be even better. We had 3 private tours that were all exceptional. Each guide offered the perfect mix of history and facts with their own personal stories about the area. They all added so much to our trip! Fernando did an excellent job helping us out with restaurants, transportation, and last-minute details. I had so many questions before we left but he answered them all patiently and thoroughly. Any problems we had while we were in Spain he quickly resolved and even helped out with figuring out our rental car return even though I had booked that on my own. I would highly recommend Toma and Coe and will definitely use them again if I'm lucky enough to return to Spain! Thanks for a wonderful trip!

Experiencia fantástica: We had the pleasure of having Natalia as our tour guide while we visited Spain; I can honestly say she was amazing! Truly a caring, nice, accommodating, and knowledgeable tour guide. We visited several places with Natalia, such as the family winery Vetas. They were very welcoming as well and have extensive knowledge in what they do… needless to say the wine is divine ! We also toured other places such as Ronda, Setenil, Frigiliana, Nerja, Marbella, and Puerto Banus…beautiful places with delicious foods!!! Overall, we had an amazing time and are very thankful for Natalia taking her time to explain everything and tour us (not as a tour guide, but as a friend). She truly makes you feel comfortable and at home in Spain !

Experiencia fantástica: Organisation and support of the highest order for our first trip around Southern Spain. The guides were exceptional,i in their knowledge , caring and providing opportunities to cater for our special interests, agriculture, flora, horses and Mr Henderson's railway.

Experiencia fantástica: The Andalusian olive oil tour was everything we wanted and more. Thank you, Manni, for such going above and beyond to show us the charm and allure of rural Andalucia. We will be recommending this tour to many people to come!

Experiencia fantástica: This was truly an unbelievable tour experience! Natalie drive and was our tour guide. She picked us up in a very comfortable 9 person van (6 in the tour and Natalie) and we weee so very comfortable! Her knowledge, her driving skills, the history she shared was all a 10! Took us to a winery where we weee given a tour, and a tasting which was as good as any winery tasting we have ever experienced and we are from CA. From there we took another short ride to Ronda (one of the White Villages) where Antonio Jesus Naranjo was our guide (always ask for him, he has been a guide for many Global Dignitaries). We started w the famous Bullpen with all its history and glamour and proceeded to the small and colorful streets, old buildings and then the old bridges… They selected a magical restaurant for lunch and before lunch we had time to stop for a few carafes of Sangria… so so good. Overall we could not have dreamed of a better tour and tour guides. Final shout out to Fernando who was very attentive and helped plan the tour and his communication h be is email to get this set up. Great company, fabulous tour company. Gracias Natalie, Antonio y Fernando!!

Experiencia fantástica: If you are visiting Andalusia you MUST have at least a day with Toma and Coe!

Experiencia fantástica: My sister was married May of 2017 and for her wedding gift I didn’t want to get the usual household items so I looked into getting her an experience instead that can be used during her honeymoon to Spain. I began looking into tour guides that can help them have an amazing experience without having to do any planning. That’s when I found Toma & Coe who was highly reviewed for their tours all over Spain and even into Morocco. I began my lengthy email correspondence with Fernando who was incredibly responsive providing information about making international payments to creating a trip itinerary for their trip to Morocco. My sister and brother in law had a fantastic private tour into Morocco with Fernando and will hopefully have memories to last much longer than anything else I could have purchased. Toma & Coe is highly recommended they were a pleasure to work with!

Experiencia fantástica: It has been about a year since we visited Spain. We were extremely fortunate to have met Manny. He was our tour guide for THREE tours- all in one week! Anyone visiting the area will have a memorable experience- NONE BETTER! Hope to return again.

Experiencia fantástica: The ONLY choice for quality tours and service in Andalucía. Manni has put together a first-class (platinum, that is) company. He and his people share their knowledge of things from the biggest, most obvious places to visit to the smallest, most out-of-the-way surprises you can imagine. If you want the best when traveling to southern Spain, Toma Tours is it!

Experiencia fantástica: Toma Tours are on the right track with Mr Henderson's Railway! We all know the delights of being shown around a new city by a knowledgeable friend who lives locally and who can show us places and take us to restaurants that we would never find on our own. Taking a trip on Mr Henderson's Railway with Toma Tours was just like that for us. Our group of four were looked after like old friends by Manni, the owner and founder of Toma Tours. His warmth, knowledge and love of Spain shone through as he expertly guided us from the delights of the Hotel Reina Cristina in Algeciras and onwards for the the railway journey before a delicious lunch at a top, trackside restaurant. Our day continued with a guided walking tour in Ronda, first at the Reina Victoria hotel (sister hotel of the Reina Cristina at the other end of Mr Henderson's Railway) and then via Ronda's attractions including the Bullring and the magnificent outlook from Puente Nuevo spanning the deep gorge for which Ronda is well-known. We had a wonderful, memorable day and if this is representative of the many different trips organised byToma Tours, I would recommend them without hesitation, to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: We went to Andalusia in January 2013, and took two tours with Manni : Granada and Jerez. We had such a wonderful time of seeing, tasting, learning and laughing. It felt like an old friend of ours was showing us places he has known intimately and loves dearly. Manni has outstanding people skills and professionalism. He genuinely cares about his customers and will make sure everyone is happy. He went out of his way to show us Andalusia from an insider's perspective, which is what makes TOMA Tour so different (and awesome). Making arrangements with Manni was a breeze and he was on time to pick us up in the morning, happy and ready to share his love and knowledge of Spain. We're planning on going back to Andalusia over the next few years and TOMA Tours will most definitely be part of our experience next time again. Bravo and thank you Manni and TOMA Tours! Looking forward to our next trip! :)
