What people are saying about The Gastronomad Experiences

Testimonial

“What if you could travel to and live in beautiful places with thoughtful, fun, kind, and interesting people who become dear friends and enjoy incredible food and wine brought to you by dedicated artisans while having meaningful conversations and experiences, lots of laughs, and amazing surprises? With Gastronomad Experiences you get to do all of this by just showing up and benefiting from Amira and Mike's expertise, immersion in the community and culture, and their appreciation for delicious, creative, and thoughtfully sourced products.
They have deep connections in each place they bring guests and they cultivate connections with fabulous people on the trips and locally at each place you will spend time.
While we have traveled extensively, we had never relied on others to plan our travel but took a chance with our first Gastronomad experience and now we are hooked.
We'll go anywhere with them anytime we can. Life-changing in countless ways!”

“I was recently browsing our group pictures from our Gastronomad Adventure in Barcelona and one constant theme that emerged from those pictures was the smiles on our faces. These smiles say a lot about the delight that we experienced day after day as we met with some of the best bakers, winemakers, cheese makers and coffee roasters the Barcelona region has to offer.
The Barcelona Experience has allowed me to live fully in the moment, free of the tyranny of decisions about what comes next.
Everything was expertly organized and of top notch quality: the place we stayed at was upscale, the food and wine we enjoyed was fantastic and plentiful and the daily experiences were informative and entertaining. All that being said, would I do it again? You bet. Count me in for the Morocco Experience!”

“Awesome! Exquisite, with a focus on quality, yet never ostentatious, nor extravagant
My husband and I enjoyed our Gastronomad experience in Barcelona very much. It felt like a relaxing, casual, and friendly get-together with a small group of food and wine aficionados in one of the greatest gastronomic cities of the world.
Our hosts greeted us in the most family-like atmosphere which helped set the mood among participants during the entire stay.
The bubbly “Cava” was flowing, the red “Tempranillo” had been carefully selected, the home-made “pan con tomate” and the famous “pata negra de bellota” cold cut ham were both a delight.
Day after day, we sampled and enjoyed good food and wine, at best locations and in pleasant company, while never having to worry about decision making or any aspect of logistics.
Whatever surprise field trip or activity our hosts had planned for us each day, we remained confident of a fun, engaging, and an authentic experience.
We had the pleasure to get acquainted with local people, who welcomed us warmly and so kindly shared with us some of the art and science of their craft, as well as their passion for it. Congratulations and long live Gastronomad!
What an innovative way of having your guests immersed into local flavors and experience the heartbeat of the city and countryside beyond the usual tourist sites! Please, keep up the Gastronomad blog: we love to see all the great pictures and read about your new experiences and acquaintances!”

“I generally despise group tours, and have avoided them most of my life. So what the hell was I thinking considering a group tour?! Well, the concept behind the ‘Gastronomad Experience’, and the people who devised it gave me confidence (that and the fact that they rightly point out its not a ‘tour’ in the traditional sense).
Having followed some of Mike and Amira’s activities over the years, it seemed clear that they did significant research, and truly wanted to showcase the best of what was on offer, with a promise to embed you in the local culture. What became obvious very early on, was just how meticulous their planning and attention to detail was. Starting with greetings at our base of operations, an opulent spacious apartment in the heart of the city, we were immediately made to feel welcome.
The next few days were packed with a sequence of unforgettable experiences. Every contingency was catered for. It's hard to summarise just how good each of the activities was.
Everyone we met during the journey was warm and welcoming, and it was clear that Amira & Mike had established a real relationship with everyone/place we visited.
What truly made the week however, was our group. A diverse bunch of ages, backgrounds and cultures, all focussed on having a good time in one of the best cities on the planet.
We loved it so much we have already booked another!”

“I have traveled a fair amount both abroad and in the US. So I know my way around. I rarely do tour groups or private tours and I have never done a fully planned excursion like the Gastronomad Experiences. Usually I have tried to do the hard to find, off the beaten path items as well so tour groups don’t really fit into that.
All of this is to say that I was a bit out of my element. I certainly don’t mind groups but they weren’t really something I would seek out when traveling. Also, I knew the trip would be good but with anything like this there’s uncertainty.
My fears, doubts, second guessing, etc were all dispelled within the first day. As soon as we arrived, Mike and Amira made us feel at home. Almost like family. The location we stayed at was great and suited a larger group well. The other people in the group were wonderful. Some of the best and most fun people I have ever met. We had a pretty diverse group of all ages and from different continents. A love of technology brought a lot of us together, as many heard about this through following Mike. However it was a love of enjoying great food and experiences that really bonded us. I consider all of them my friends now.
If the people were great then the locations we went to and establishments we visited were just incredible. We didn’t just go to the businesses the locals go to or visit hard to find places, we spent time with the people that make it happen. The people who perfect their craft for more than just money. It is for a love of doing it right. From tasting wine in a small group at a Barcelona food festival to chatting with a wine maker in his reclaimed Spanish Civil War bunker. There was never a bad moment.
Mike and Amira really did a fantastic job in getting everything set up. The people in and around Barcelona they introduced us to were so nice and welcoming. Here it is some two months after the trip and we’re still talking about it. Still tagging and chatting with each other from the trip over social media. I had traveled around a lot but I had never been on something like this. It was an experience.”
