Barcelona Tours and Trips

The itinerary was extremely busy and full of activities and visits to a multiple areas of interest in both Spain and Portugal. If you are looking for a leisurely vacation / tour of Spain and Portugal, this is not the itinerary for you. There could have been a little bit more downtime built in other than the 1/2 day of free time at the beach in Torremolinos. And a definite highlight of the itinerary was the lunch in a local resident's home in Alfarbatejo, Spain. The hotels, for the most part, were fantastic and were very much in line with our expectations in terms of quality, appearance and comfort. And of course, the coach was spacious and comfortable as it was configured for a maximum of 40 people (we only had 34 on our trip). This is key as the trip was more than 3,000 Km in total over the course of 2 weeks. Fortunately, the amount of time on the coach was usually less than 4 hours total on any given day with a comfort break every 90 minutes or so.

Itinerary is very busy but there is a lot to see in each town/city. Maybe a few too many churches and cathedrals! Standard of accommodation is great. Excellent tour director and bus driver.

Itinerary was at the right pace, allowing us to see as much as possible during the trip. Things ran on time and entries were well organized for quick access. There is no other way to travel, see so much and have cultural experiences!

I loved the beautiful scenery from beginning to end and enjoyed learning about Spain's history. The group dinners were great for providing merriment and a taste of the local food and vibe. In particular, I loved the dinner at the restaurant with the tenors. I feel this is not something I would have found had I gone on my own. Our guide, Dan, provided a wealth of information and humor. Loved it!

Wonderful scenery & an excellent tour leader who was friendly & approachable, with a variety of ideas on options to take on the rest day. Good variety of food options too.

We covered a lot of ground in a week! The hotels on this trip far exceeded our expectations and we enjoyed the casual dining options for lunch and dinner throughout the week. There was very little downtime but that wasn't an issue. Donal, out Tour Leader, was great and worked very hard to help us get the most out of the trip. He prepared well in advance of the tour and was always available throughout.
