Madrid Wine tasting Trips

My fellow travelers made this trip a wonderful experience. Some of the hotel accommodations should be reviewed for comfort/sound issues and breakfast options. Also recommend that guides on this excursion should be trained in first aid. We had an incident on a hike and luckily we had a paramedic on this trip with us. This was the first time our trip leader led this particular adventure. She did a great job of adjusting to circumstances and helped to make the trip enjoyable.

What a fabulous tour! What can go wrong with Walking & Wine Tasting?? - Absolutely nothing....a fantastic tour and one that I/we were dubious about due to our lack of stamina for walking, however this was paced fabulously and the walking was wonderful with some stunning scenery. Accommodation was excellent (apart from one very basic hotel). The places visited were all different in there own way, but it was great to get out of Madrid and into Countryside. The Group were great - A mix of Brits. Aussies. Americans and a Kiwi and all above the age of 50, but please don't let this put you off booking this tour!! The Winery's & Bodegas visited were an excellent mix. The food, was truly amazing. Magdalena our Tour guide was fabulous and considering this was her first tour with Explore, she did a remarkable job. Now, where to next????

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.

An excellent trip with a a varied and well balanced itinerary. Tour leader was fantastic. An excellent selection of wine tastings from a contrasting range of wine makers. Would highly recommend

Some accomodation simple, with outlook onto courtyards, car parkss etc. Good mix of wine tours, walking tours and longer walks in very intrresting places. Rocio was dxcellent, knowledgable, flexible and fun. Great locations. Good variety if wine tours and tastings. Tour guide of Porto was patronising and glib.

G adventures made my first solo Adventure in Europe a real treat. The relaxed pace and the freedom to make my own agenda was perfect; The guides provided a brief tour and then I was free to explore the city my way.
