Barcelona Tours in Fall

For a person of faith these are inspiring shrines and gorgious basilicas. One should see ones in life time. Tour manager was excellent. The bus driver was great. I felt that bus travel for two days was a bit tiresome and time consuming. The hotels were great except at Lourdes. But it was close to the shrine, to have personally access to spend time. And so I sacrifice a bit of luxury when it comes to hotel at lourdes. On the whole it was excellent. I recommend any day.

An interesting experience for a first time solo travel, I can say for certainty that I have created some lifelong memories, and that even though there were ups and downs, I would 100% do another Contiki. The people are what make Contiki unforgettable, even more-so than the places. I would recommend picking Contiki for places which you don’t care too much to see everything, as you only get a glimpse of big cities.

Our tour of the Mediterranean Coastal Journey, far exceeded our expectations. The tour manager was absolutely amazing! Having been thrown some curveballs, especially when the rain and windy weather caused Cinque Terre to be closed! Barbara pulled together a tour of the Imperiale Palace for the next day, with a demo on making Pesto sauce, then each of us made pesto as well. I was so looking forward to Cinque Terre, but in the long run we had a great experience in Genoa. Also, the hotel there was lovely being located on the marina, and all the shops and restaurants were just across the street. I was not looking forward to our stay in Genoa but came away pleasantly surprised. Our group of 22 turned out to be incredibly friendly right from the beginning. All the restaurants were very good, she even surprised us with a 1* Michelin dinner experience in substitution for that evening dining experience having been cancelled, so we got to eat at the number 1 restaurant in Marseilles! I have to say that Barbara was responsible for getting the group off to a great start being together, with her great sense of humor, friendliness, being firm about the start time to be on the bus :-) She went above and beyond making the last night of our tour so very special for my daughter, being it was her actual birthday. It was all just perfect! Thank you, Barbara, what tour will you be leading next season? I would consider going on it knowing how you can handle even those last-minute curveballs!

Excellent tour!! Included so many places of interest throughout Spain and the southern part of Portugal. I loved Óbidos in Portugal. I was so impressed with Spain and the beautiful and clean big cities!!

The tour really covered all the bases in order for you to get a good experience for Spain and Portugal's rich heritage and modern day life. From the Mediterranean to the Atlantic, and everything in-between, you didn't miss a thing.

Cycling Girona and the Catalan Coast was the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation it was also my first Cycling trip! The routes were peaceful and well-planned, passing through authentic villages, rolling countryside, and the most beautiful stretches of coast! Our guide was fantastic - knowledgeable, friendly, and always made the days fun. The E-bikes were a great option for anyone wanting a little extra confidence on the hills. An unforgettable way to experience Northern Spain!
