"We can't say enough good things about our trip to Basque Country and Rioja with Thabuca, which was expertly organized by Carol who provided us with a perfect balance of culture, food and wine. We were blown away by the entire experience. The tapas in San Sebastián were especially memorable. The wines in Rioja were also fantastic. We particularly loved the smaller wineries that Carol selected for us. We also enjoyed learning about the local culture and history, as well as the beautiful scenery. Our tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the region, and helped us to gain a deeper understanding of the unique culture and history of the area. The accommodations were also top-notch and clearly chosen with care. Overall, this trip exceeded all of our expectations and was truly unforgettable. We would highly recommend it to anyone interested in gourmet food, wine, and culture - it's definitely a must-do experience!"
