Granada Tours in May 2027

Tremendous holiday. Explore were efficient and helpful during the booking process and in answering our queries regarding the trip. The holiday itself was a great way to get a sense of the beauty, culture and history of Andalucia. It’s a fast paced and busy tour, but huge fun, and we really enjoyed the mixture of city and rural locations. Craig, our tour leader, worked incredibly hard throughout to organise the content and travel logistics, and gave us a fascinating overview of the region - covering the history, the political, economic, cultural and geological context (and in a way that was funny, accessible and effortlessly erudite). Cities and countryside were all stunningly beautiful, the food and wine delicious. I’d heartily recommend the trip.

This is a full-on trip. You need energy and stamina with days starting early and ending late. Craig, our tour leader, was very knowledgeable and resourceful. He led from the front and coped calmly and compassionately in the event of an unfortunate accident to one of the party. Everything was as described and the optional activities very worthwhile. The main sights are breathtaking. Having the contrast of city and countryside worked well. Breakfasts are basic except at Craig’s own house, which was excellent, and all the accommodation clean albeit simple and occasionally noisy - ask for a quiet room away from street noise in the cities if you can. Craig offered an additional experience at the end of each day such as a walk in Granada to see the Alhambra floodlit or a visit to the oldest bar in Sevilla to sample sherry. Overall a fantastic and memorable experience which made me want to see more of Spain.

This was the first time doing an active tour with Gadventures and it did not disappoint. The whole tour from start to finish was fantastic. The hikes were so varied and each hike was different. The hikes were challenging but achievable which is what I wanted. Marco the CEO was fantastic and I really enjoyed meeting other likeminded people on this trip. A fantastic experience had, thank you!

The only thing that would discourage me from booking another tour on Europamundo was the fact that nobody was at the airport to pick us up on our arrival at Madrid airport when the info on MY Trip, clearley stated that someone would be waiting to transfer you to your hotel. We called the transportation company and they told us they were not informed to pick us up. I addressed this issue with Tourradar, who forwarded this to Wendy from Eurorpamundo, who came up with an excuse that we had to confirm this 5 days prior to departure. This is just an excuse for your incompetence. I suggested our transfer on our return from Madrid to the airport be provided free of charge to compensate for your error but Wendy gave me the above excuse and insisted we pay the transfer fee for our return. Its unfortunate this incident has left an unpleasant memory and will deter me from recommending Europamundo to any of my family and friends.

We enjoyed the trip and the Tour Guide and the driver were very good and responsible persons. Only one thing I want to comment is that we could have come to the hotel every day by 6pm so that we could have dinner and rest well before starting the journey next morning.

The Sierra Nevada is the highest mountain range in mainland Spain. They remain snow covered well into the Summer and these walks take place in the wooded valleys in their foothills. The sound of running water seems always to be in the background. The bird life is rich and varied and we heard the cuckoo on our first day. Nightingales and golden orioles and eagles and falcons were viewed with awe and delight. The walks are pretty challenging but rewarding. Conditions under foot are variable but generally reasonable.The Hotel art Los Berchules is a place of repose and delight. The food is first rate and the owners and staff delightful dedicated and friendly.
