Vitoria-Gasteiz is an admirable combination of laid-back ambiance, history, and entertainment, with a rich medieval presence.

Vitoria-Gasteiz is the capital city of the province of Alava and of the autonomous community of the Basque Country in northern Spain. Vitoria-Gasteiz is a multicultural city with strengths in the arts, commerce, education, healthcare, architectural conservation, aeronautics, vehicle industry, oenology and gastronomy. It is the first Spanish municipality to be awarded the title of European Green Capital (in 2012). The old town holds some of the best preserved medieval streets and plazas in the region and it is one of very few cities to hold two Cathedrals. Vitoria-Gasteiz's vicinity is home to world-renowned wineries such as Ysios (by Santiago Calatrava) and Marques de Riscal (by Frank Gehry).

Overall we were happy with our experience from the planning to our lodging. We had our trust issues about not physically seeing anyone, but your staff were available to chat with us when we had questions. We had only one incident in the Doubletree Excel Hotel. The receptionist told me that breakfast wasn’t included in the voucher. My husband clarified the situation and she apologized for not reading the voucher correctly. The selection of lodging was very interesting, varying from modern hotels to tea rooms and an apartment. We were expected at each lodging and there were no difficulties. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and we would happily use your company again for future travels. Thank you for your efficient organization, comforting agents and follow-up.

Our tour around Ireland was great, and much credit to your company! All the hotels we chose were good and some were outstanding - we wouldn't have found these little gems without RoutePerfect, so many thanks. Price was also very good value.
