"A fantastic trip to Madrid and Bilbao"

First of all, thank you very much for an absolutely fantastic trip to Madrid and Bilbao. It was a great pleasure to be part of the trip, and I still have the beautiful places in my mind AND of course in the many photos I took. It was a super well-organized trip with exciting experiences, delicious food and good company. I especially loved the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the two wineries. The three buildings exceeded my expectations to such an extent – and so did the city of Bilbao. A cozy and nice city. And the beautiful landscapes we drove through.. Madrid is always beautiful, and it was wonderful to revisit the city and the wonderful museums with you as a guide. So thank you very much for such a wonderful trip. I will be happy to sign up for trips with you in the future.

"An unusually wonderful experience"

Thank you very much for another wonderful garden tour with Bloom Garden Tours - my fourth (Lake District in 2019, Southeast England in 2022, Eastern Andalusia in 2023 and then this one).

Jesper was the ideal tour guide, very knowledgeable, very well prepared and sociable. On the day when the program was a bit thin and the rain was pouring, he organized a room at the hotel and gave a very well-organized and informative lecture for us.

The hotels were lovely, the food as well. We have no control over the weather, but everything is green in the rain and you get dry again.

"An unusually wonderful experience"

The culture and garden trip to Northern Spain was an extraordinarily wonderful experience, both culturally, culinaryly, historically, garden-wise and socially. It was very interesting to hear you talk about Spanish culture, political and social conditions.

"Absolutely fantastic gardens"

Thank you for a really lovely garden tour with some absolutely fantastic gardens, which were almost even better than those in South East England. Being shown around by the owners themselves and hearing their explanations makes the garden walks a very special and interesting and more personal experience.
Here comes a greeting from my own garden and hopefully see you again another time.

"A truly fantastic tour "

It was a truly fantastic tour around the most lavishly blooming gardens.

Thanks for the link to the pictures. It looks a lot like our own – but in significantly better quality than on an iPhone. 😊

I can further commend you both that there were several of the other participants who had been on some of your other garden tours – “That this was the best tour of them all”

"It can't be done better"

It was a fantastic experience to travel with you, your well-organized program and Kasper, as a very informative and pleasant guide. It couldn't be better.
And it also helps that we were a nice group of fellow travelers.

Beautiful churches, historical sites, gardens and much more. I can't praise you both enough, so I will end by saying thank you for an unforgettable trip in the beautiful areas of Spain. Looking forward to the next trip.

"Thank you for the collaboration"

We had a really good trip and in general there is great enthusiasm for the trip and program. It worked really well with the change between large and small gardens, more public and private. And super cool with the introduction to many of the places by the owners, it was really good. Really friendly and sweet bus driver, who did a really good job and got us around safely in a good mood. So all in all, a really good trip and we thank you very much for the cooperation.

"Everything worked out - hotels and restaurants were right on target"


Thank you for a super exciting and well-planned trip to Western Andalusia. You do a huge amount of preparation, but everything just worked out, and the hotels and restaurants were right in the eye with the most delicious food in the most beautiful places. A pleasure to participate in such a well-planned trip. On this trip and the trip two years ago to Madrid and Bilbao, I really think I got to experience lovely, beautiful and exciting areas of Spain. Just like last time, spiced up with exciting visits – this year to the winery and the ham place and the most beautiful natural areas.

It's wonderful that you share your great knowledge about Spain's history, politics, art and culture – it really helps to give a complete picture of Spain.

It has now been almost 14 days since we returned home from the trip to Tuscany, and we have digested the many impressions we have received. We have been very happy with the trip, have experienced a lot, well organized and of good quality. And how lucky we were with the weather.
So thank you very much for a wonderful trip.

"Absolutely breathtaking experience"

Thank you for a great trip. For me it was a lovely reunion with Granada and Cordoba supplemented with several new experiences, including the peaceful gardens of Palacia Viana. It was a completely breathtaking experience to enter the mezquita to the sounds of organ music, and it didn't feel crowded with tourists. Overall, it was a good time to travel in a comfortable temperature and without the huge tourist noise. The food was a chapter in itself – a great pleasure everywhere.

"A nice and lovely trip in every way"


Thanks for the last one. It was in every way a nice and lovely trip, which showed us Barcelona and the surrounding area in the best way and both gardens and artists and not least Sagrada Famillia made an indelible impression here. Thank you also for the calm way the trip was led

"A really combination of gardens and cultural elements"

Marianne and I thank you for a fantastic trip to Normandy. It was a really good combination of the gardens, the historical/cultural elements and the culinary.

Everything was perfect. The hotel in Honfleur was absolutely in the "special upper class". The participants were all lovely people.

We look forward to new experiences with you.

"A super exciting, well-organized and enjoyable trip"

Just a little greeting to say thank you very much for a super exciting, well-organized and pleasant trip. We just saw so much exciting on the trip from beautiful cities, churches to beautiful landscapes to vineyards and delicious food. All spiced up with your great knowledge of Spain's history and politics and culture. The perfect cocktail. We were also lucky with the weather and a nice, small group. A wonderful way to extend the summer and at the same time be inspired and become wiser.

"Wonderful six days"

What a wonderful six days on tour with you. The trip was filled with great experiences with culture, delicious Spanish meals and good hotels. You do a great job. Are attentive to your guests and a very skilled communicator, storyteller. You "just sit back" and enjoy relaxing and receiving all the good experiences. It also guarantees quality that so many participants had traveled with you previously - I would also like to travel again on your trips and look forward to seeing info about your trips in 2020 and 2021.

"Exciting, both gardens and sights"

Thank you very much for a really good trip to Granada/Cordoba. It was exciting, both gardens and sights.
We saw a lot, ate a lot and walked a lot. Nice that most of it was within walking distance, so we got to see the cozy, old parts of the city – and nice with little coffee and sherry breaks.

I will keep an eye on your future trips, as a garden trip to England and a trip to Barcelona are on the wish list.
