Dave designed a beautiful tour of the Basque Country and Cantabria for my husband and myself in the last week of October 2025. Dave knows Spain very well, having lived there for more than 25 years. Each day was extremely well planned, including the selection of very comfortable hotels and excellent restaurants. One of the highlights for us was a private tour of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, led by a very knowledgeable local guide. There is no way we could have planned such an interesting trip by ourselves. In addition to his exceptional planning skills, Dave is a warm person and easy to communicate with. He is completely fluent in Spanish and transitions easily between English and Spanish. It was a pleasure learning about a region of Spain new to us and we would welcome the opportunity to do another trip with him. If you're panning a trip to Spain, we highly recommend working with Dave!

Living in the U.S. planning a trip to Spain can be a daunting experience, especially if you don't know anyone who lives in the country. We reached out to Dave to help plan our trip, and he exceeded expectations. Dave provided outstanding detailed guidance including towns/cities to stay, important historic features to visit, restaurants and even dishes to order in the restaurants. Dave also set up a guided tour of the Alhambra Palace in Granada, which was one of the highlights of our trip! I would strongly recommend using Dave to plan a trip, he is a pleasure to work with and his expertise resulting from 25+ years of living in the country cannot be found elsewhere.

Dave worked with us to craft the trip of a lifetime. For two and a half weeks he guided us from Mallorca to Madrid, Granada and Cordoba. He deftly accommodated our wishes to travel via different modes of transportation. He coordinated a magnificent tour of the Alhambra, arranged a beautiful Flamenco experience and had endless recommendations for food options. His expertise is complete, he is an excellent communicator in Spanish and English. Dave's positivity and enthusiasm clearly convey that he loves his work! We would highly recommend him as a tour coordinator.

It was one of best trips I've ever had. This is first trip to Sapin. Spain By Dave was a perfect solution for my group which is 5 couples of high school fruends. Its tailored option enabled us to suit our own needs and expectations. David provided me ample informations that made me find the right solution. We opted out all service and just used land transportaions for day trip like Olvera - Setenil de las Bodegas - Ronda, Toledo as well as korean guide for Alhambra and Granada. It went well and the service of land transportation was excellent. The drivers were very kind and eager to help. We felt like they are pary of our group. I feel lucky that I found Spain By Dave through internet search. Muchas gracias Dave por todo su esfuerzo y ayuda para nosotros. Un gran abrazo! Min

Dave pays attention to details!!! Once he discovers your trip goals, he goes out of his way to achieve your goals! His knowledge of Spain is superior. He finds THE BEST guides and experiences that are off the beaten path and those that aren’t are given a fresh approach. Our hiking group of 10 women tested Dave on so many levels such as last minute changes, hiking accommodations, needing more shopping time, discovering new places not on our itinerary, plane cancellations, medical issues and he never wavered all the time with a smile and genuine desire to give us have the best Balearic experience possible! I can’t recommend Dave more for your next trip to Spain!!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I can’t say enough about the fabulous 2-week trip in Mallorca and Minorca that Dave Weber (Spain by Dave) put together for our group of nine women. Dave crafted a totally unique itinerary for our group of seasoned travelers who were looking for a trip complete with culture, history, adventure, beautiful hotels, fabulous meals and wine—and shopping! Dave checked all the boxes and more! If you are looking for a knowlegable travel guide who will go above and beyond and who will take care of every detail, then Dave Weber of Spain by Dave is who you are looking for!

If you’re looking for that perfect trip with a guide that will go “above & beyond” to make sure this is the best trip you’ve ever had, call Dave Weber of Spain by Dave. We were a group of 8 women that were interested in hiking, shopping, exploring the Balearic islands, learning its history and culture, and having an extreme culinary and wine experience. No small order, for sure! But Dave did not let us down on any item! He supplied us with the most interesting and lovely hotels, the best hiking guides, the best history guides, and stupendous restaurants that should have been Michelin-starred!! And boy - Dave really knows how to pick his wines!!!! It truly was one of the most fabulous trips any of us have ever taken - and we are all quite seasoned travelers!!! Kudos to Dave from everyone in our group! We all feel we have gained a friend in the process!!

Dave did a wonderful job planning a two week trip to Mallorca and Menorca for our group of nine women! All details were well planned and implemented —we enjoyed fabulous hotels, great food, and lots of fun adventures. Our group enjoys outdoor activities—and Dave planned challenging hikes, biking, a day on a boat, and a kayaking excursion. We also enjoyed a cultural tour of Menorca. Dave also knew all the best places to shop—he also introduced us to some local Mallorcans who provided a special lunch on their farm. This trip was really wonderful thanks to Dave! I would highly recommend hiring Spain by Dave for a fabulous trip!

We had a wonderful four days with Dave. He took us to some beautiful little towns in Andalusia. He was extremely attentive to our needs and extraordinarily helpful, particularly with my husband who is disable. Would highly recommend him for organizing and recommending venues and is a superb driver!

We recently contracted with Spain by Dave for a 2 week trip around several parts of Spain. It was a great experience and Dave is perfect for what we needed. He helped us figure out the itinerary based on our needs, made hotel arrangements, rented and drove car (when needed), purchased tickets and had wonderful suggestions for experiencing the excellent, diverse cuisine. We spent over half of our time in Seville, Granada and exploring Andalucia. This is best explored by car and it was very helpful to have Dave accompany us. He also was with us in Madrid, where he also accompanied us to Toledo & to Segovia. He met us in Santiago de Compostela, where we were after spending 10 days in Portugal. We enjoyed our time thoroughly. Dave is knowledgeable, adventurous, and tells good stories. He also is very helpful with luggage at hotels or when traveling by train, air, etc. We also enjoyed meeting his lovely wife Pati and hearing about their life on Mallorca. We strongly recommend Spain by Dave for a custom, independent tour of Spain. In particular, he showcases the food and you will enjoy what the locals eat and where they like to eat. He creates an authentic experience.

Client Testimonials

“We were going to be based in Malaga for several weeks and wanted to explore the region with a knowledgable guide. One member of our group required handicapped friendly and/or accessible accommodations. Dave found fabulous hotels and also made great restaurant recommendations everywhere we traveled, as well as getting us entry tickets to various must-see historical sites, such as the Alhambra. He’s very friendly and adjusted his planning to meet our needs. Very low-key and easy-going, he helped to make it an unforgettable trip!” -Susy Murphy, Business Owner, Maryland

“Going to Asturias and Cantabria with Dave and company was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The scenery was breathtaking: I’ve never experienced such views as those of the Picos de Europa cascading down to the ocean or caressingly sheltering clear streams! The towns, monuments and churches we saw were absolutely illuminating; no wonder this area’s 9th century architecture is cited by the United Nations! The food was scrumptious; if you think you’ve seen it all and done it all, wait until you taste Naked Lobster! A thousand kudos to this magnificent organization!” -John Eaton, Opera Composer, New Jersey

“I’m not the tour guide kind of traveler, but… I completely relaxed while Dave made all the arrangements and chose fantastic places to eat, from rustic little tapas bars to fine dining. The best surprise, however, was Dave. He’s charming, cultured, good humored and flexible. I couldn’t have hoped for a better vacation. I returned feeling enriched and rejuvenated.” -Tracey Dillon, Architect, Rhode Island

“Our trip to Asturias with Dave Weber was delightful… He is a pleasant, enthusiastic, agreeable, fun loving man. He makes plans easily to suit the people he is with. His selection of the hotel in Asturias was perfect, and the transportation arrangements were flawless. He is very knowledgeable about the area, the restaurants, shops, and sights to see. We would travel with Dave Weber anywhere, anytime, in Spain with his language skills and polite demeanor. Our trip from start to finish was perfect.” -The Carstens, South Glastonbury CT

“Traveling with Dave was like a trip with an old friend: A friend who knew the area. Our trip had that ‘traveling spontaneity’ without the hassle of being a stranger in a strange land.” -N. Mills, Boulder CO

“We loved our hotel in Palma, situated in a tree-lined residential neighborhood with several excellent restaurants within easy walking distance. A special treat was a visit to the Olivar market in central Palma with its beautiful stands of local fruits and vegetables and abundant displays of sparkling fresh seafood from the Mediterranean.” -L. Maldonado, Berkeley CA

“My husband and I often travel to Europe with friends so we know our way around pretty well. However, for our first trip to Spain we decided to organize a customized vacation in Madrid and its surrounding areas with Dave and his wife Pati (Spain By Dave). What a wonderful orientation! After our week’s stay we felt as if we new the place like locals. No time was wasted when it came to seeing sights and eating great food!” -Rhonda Greene, Miami FL

“Dave is a real character. He has real depth of knowledge of Spain and yet does not get bogged down in detail. He has a fantastic sense of humor, is easy-going and knows how to make journeys an authentic experience. Highly recommended. I have traveled from Bhutan to the Atacama, from Marrakech to Alaska, and Dave is the best there is.” -Paul R, England

“Linda and I spent some time on the beautiful Spanish island of Mallorca at a couple of elegant hotels where we were treated like royalty by Dave Weber and his team. The places were magical, as befitting Mallorca, the fine dining could not have been better, and we were charmed by Dave and his entourage. We cannot wait to do one of his mainland Spain tours!” -Frank Lutz, Venice Beach CA
