We enjoyed all aspects of the tour. The destination was great and our tour manager very experienced. We especially enjoyed our tour manager partnering with local tour guides specialized for the venues we visited. The food was wonderful and accommodations did not lack anything.
The tour included many nice stops. The tour guide was very young and inexperienced, however, he made the tour enjoyable. The stop at Elvas was awful. The town was vacant and nothing was open for dinner. We had to eat at the hotel but they weren’t prepared to feed the entire tour group. That was poor planning! The hotel was beautiful but my room overlooked what looked like a slum with barking dogs all night. My favorite spot was Peñíscola where I would have like to spend more time. Also would have liked more shopping time alotted. Otherwise the trip was very nice and I would recommend it.
I loved seeing everything and hearing all the history. The tour guides were wonderful and knowledgeable. The food and hotels were great. Our tour guide Carlos played music for us on the bus according to which country we were in. He also was able to find a famous guitar players music and played it for a man who was on our trip. It was wonderful music and the musician was great. I would and do recommend it to all my friends.
Embark on a Spanish adventure as you take in medieval architecture, idyllic landscapes, and delectable cuisine. Marvel at the Prado Museum, a treasure trove of European masterpieces. Stand in awe before the majestic Cathedral of Seville, the world's third-largest cathedral. Feel the fiery passion of Flamenco with reserved seating at an electrifying show. Wander through the enchanting Alhambra palace, a realm of exotic beauty and grandeur. Treat yourself to an authentic paella feast, bursting with flavors. Be captivated by Antoni Gaudí’s architectural wonders in Barcelona, including the iconic La Sagrada Familia. Immerse yourself in Spain's rich tapestry of art, history, and culture, all set against the stunning backdrop of sun-kissed Mediterranean shores and towering mountain ranges.
Our tour was excellent. The Tour Director, Luis Morales, was more than 5 stars. Madrid is a clean, safe and beautiful city. Granada was magical, Valencia by the
sea was lovely. The food was always fresh and tasty; the wine did not stop pouring. There was much walking but none of the seniors complained. In fact, they walked more than I did. The hotels were 4 and 4-1/2 stars but that is what makes Collette affordable. Brush up on your Spanish a little but most all speak English. I would highly recommend this trip. Flamenco night was fabulous. Ole!
