Barcelona Local culture Trips

This was our 2nd Trafalgar trip., so we knew what to expect (early morning departure's, lots of time in the coach, etc.) Overall, we were very pleased and really enjoyed our experience. a few notes for those of you considering this vacation: the good: -great travel advisor (), very sweet, attentive, very knowledgeable -coach was comfortable. visited many small towns off the beaten path (Avignon, Carcassonne, etc.) -good, diverse mix of people/families on our vacation. all very friendly. -bad traffic situation in Paris // so instead of waiting for our coach, our travel advisor set us up with a taxi (saved us over an hour of wait time) the bad: -some of the included dinners limit you to 2 drinks (it was not like this on our Italy trip 2 years ago) - our 2 night stay in Nice // our hotel room's AC was not working very well (luckily the front desk provided us a fan) -long delay getting checked into the hotel in Barcelona (probably b/c we had just entered that country from France) -tour did not include the Louvre, spent only 10-15 minutes near the Eiffel tower for a picture, only toured the exterior of La Sagrada Familia (we did Louvre on our own and skipped the Cabaret dinner) -spent a lot of time driving between cities (bring a good book!)

We really enjoyed it. The places we saw we beautiful and our tour guide was wonderful. (And our driver was great too) I also thought the local guides were great. Food was amazing.

Our tour director was excellent and because of her I would do more TRAFALGAR tours. I loved the itinerary and the driver was exceptional. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

This itinerary covered almost all of the places I wanted to see in France. I couldn't find the right combination of places with any other tour group. Most of the accommodations were very nice and had good breakfasts, showers, hair dryers, etc. The tour director was excellent, the local specialists were great, and the coach driver was fantastic! The coach was very comfortable and the other tourists were very nice.

The travel director was excellent. Her knowledge about everywhere we went was excellent. The driver was excellent as well was a great driver. The tour was a great path to follow

Igor was great as a tour guide, but this wasn't my favorite G tour, it felt a little rushed. Maybe an extra day in Barcelona, or Madrid? Bilbao and San SebastiA¡n were fantastic. I'd still want to stay in the CASA Rural--but it was very basic. Perhaps could there be some fruit if someone wanted a snack? I remember the Agritourismo in Italy, Local Living, and the food was spectacular--I don't need spectacular, but a little more selection and comfort would be lovely. I probably wouldn't recommend this tour to anyone--and I have recommended all the others I have gone on.
