Traveler Testimonials from Our Pickleball Trips

“The accommodations were 5-star, situated perfectly with a view of the Mediterranean Sea. The arranged meals were outstanding and memorable. The tours that were so inspiring and educational with an expert tour guide. The folks I met on the tour, from around the globe and the U.S., were the best! I am so grateful for this life-long unforgettable experience!”

 Robert Covarrubias – Los Angeles, California

“This tour far exceeded our loftiest expectations. While pickleball was certainly the common denominator that got everyone together, there was enough packed into the rest of the tour to satisfy everyone’s tastes and interests. If people were interested in Spanish cuisine, then the dinners that were included gave them that; if it was the culture of the region that they were interested in, then events like the flamenco dancers or city tours gave them that; if a historical perspective was what they wanted, then the day trips were spot on.”

Rich Karakis – Loudon County, Tennessee

“The tour in Barcelona is FABULOUS!  Everything was planned perfectly and we felt so well cared for.  Our hotel was gorgeous and included a wonderful buffet breakfast that had everything you could ever ask for.  All the meals included with the tour were fantastic and then some.  I thought the food would never stop coming! Our flamenco entertainers were so very talented. I was mesmerized by their performances. We had our own special tour guide who was with us throughout the visit and introduced us to the architecture and sites in the beautiful city of Barcelona and the surrounding area.  It was fascinating.”

Jacque Smith – Eureka, California

“The tour surpassed any and all expectations. I came to Spain to be a part of a cultural exchange. I came to Spain to experience warmth and friendship with people across the pond. I came to Spain to learn, to live and to understand a world that was different than mine. Pickleball served as an excellent vehicle to make this happen. But, we didn’t stop there. Each day began by making new friends on the courts, then, afterwards, an excursion to a historical or cultural site that enhanced our appreciation of Spain, most notably of Madrid. In hindsight, I can’t think of a better way to create a vivid 3D travel experience. Experience the people through sports, experience the culture through professional guidance and finally experience the inevitable and unforgettable pleasure of Europe. Everything on this trip was first class. Never in my life, have I wanted to “do the same trip twice!” Sign me up for next year! Thank you sincerely for your efforts. Your team is ‘top of the mark’.”

Chris Thomas – The Villages, Florida

“Congratulations on a fantastic Pickleball Trip! I had the time of my life! The excellence of every phase of the 9-day experience was the result of the team at Pickleball Destination’s attention to detail, fine taste, knowledge and love of Europe, and their sincere desire to bring us the best that pickleball and Europe have to offer.”

Virginia Graham – San Diego, California

“Because Mike has lived in Europe for 30 years, he has knowledge of where the best places are located. I could spend another paragraph describing this tour, but I want to tell anyone reading this to please take this trip. You’ll not only improve your pickleball skills, but you’ll see scenery, artifacts and antiquity that you’ll never forget. This is a trip of a lifetime, and I’m already starting to save my money again so that I can return ASAP.”
