Uncommonly exceptional private tours in Spain & Portugal
Travel luxuriously, eat exquisitely, remember fondly
Alan Duncan & friends - Charlottetown, CANADA - October 2025
This was our third journey with Eat Northern Spain and our third time travelling under the easy, assured guidance of Elias — a fact that speaks volumes about the calibre of the experience. Returning customers usually know what to expect, yet Elias still managed to surprise us at every turn.
What Eat Northern Spain consistently delivers is not simply access, but perspective. Elias has a gift for opening doors — literal and cultural — and for providing the context that turns good food and fine wine into something far more meaningful. By the end of the tour, you don’t just leave well fed; you leave with a genuine understanding of the region’s culture, its history, and the deep-rooted traditions that make Northern Spain such a distinctive force in the culinary world."

TRAVEL LUXURIOUSLY
Relax with your private chauffeur + English-speaking local guide and stay in the most unique hotels
Discover Spain’s most memorable hidden gems – the ones you won’t find online. You could stay in a 12th century castle one night (with a sunset view over the vineyard), a converted monastery another night, and a quirky boutique hotel the next.
Your comfort and safety are of paramount importance, which is why you’re privately chauffeur-driven at all times (by Alicia or Alberto), and accompanied everywhere by Eat Northern Spain founder, Elias or Ana, our best guide. Nobody knows Northern Spain’s secrets better.
EAT EXQUISITELY
Indulge in the best food + wine you’ve ever tasted from the best restaurants you’ve never heard of
Whether you fancy fine-dining in a place serving melt-in-the-mouth meat, a tiny candlelit restaurant hidden down a cobblestone street, sampling the tastiest cheese and wine in a private cellar, or all of the above, your wish is our command.
Northern Spain is renowned for its world-leading delicacies and we know the very best places to take you, whatever your palate prefers or is intrigued by. We can even organize private cooking classes and exclusive chef meetings for you.
REMEMBER FONDLY
Immerse yourself in local culture and unforgettable experiences while we handle all the logistics for you
Your private experience is perfectly personalised to your unique tastes, dreams, and day-to-day mood. Leave the logistics to us so you can focus on making memories amongst the rich history, grand architecture, and mouth-watering food.
Surprise personal touches can be found everywhere. From the fresh water and chocolate provided in your vehicle, to the portable routers in case hotel wifi is patchy and you want to call home, to the photographs taken of you and your loved ones.

My wife and I just returned from the Camino de Santiago Luxury Tour with Eat Northern Spain, and it was one of the most memorable trips we've ever taken. Over 8 unforgettable days, we traveled with a couple of friends from Burgos to León, through the Bierzo wine region and the breathtaking Ribeira Sacra, all the way to Santiago de Compostela. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged — from touring the stunning cathedrals in Burgos and León, to a private boat tour through the Sil river canyon, to walking sections of the Camino ourselves at a pace that worked for us. The accommodations were incredible: a 14th-century castle, a monastery-turned-hotel, and a palace winery among them. And the food — wood-fired roasted lamb, a master ham-carving experience with Jamón Ibérico, family-run winery tastings, and a Michelin-starred farewell dinner in Santiago — was reason enough to book this trip.
But what truly made this trip special was our guide, Ana. She was more than a guide, she became a friend. Her knowledge of the history, culture, food, and wine of Northern Spain was extraordinary, and she shared it with so much warmth and genuine care that every day felt personal rather than scripted. She anticipated what we needed before we even asked and made us feel like we were traveling with family rather than on a tour.
Ana was the best guide ever, and she's a huge part of why this trip will stay with us forever. If you're considering this tour, know that you're in the best possible hands with her.
Highly recommend Eat Northern Spain for anyone wanting an authentic, luxurious, and deeply personal Camino de Santiago experience"
