Madrid Tours in Winter

The Southern Spain trip was well-paced and included so many fun and interesting activities. I was surprised by how much I loved the afternoon in Cordoba, and I’d go back to Granada in a heartbeat. No doubt, my experiences were enhanced by the fantastic CEO we had, so organized and so fun. I want to do this trip all over again!

I congratulate you on this wonderful coordination, and I want to tell you that the tour guide, Javier Hernandez Manrique, should be the supervisor of all the tour guides because his presence with us, the way he explained, and his smile in the face of everyone, was like the magic of the trip with your esteemed company. As for the tourist guide, AJIT SINGH PANWAR, I expect that he was an officer in the army before he became a tourist guide, because the word HUSH is said to the soldiers not for travelers

Designing two pair of Espadrilles in Sevilla. And taking wine & cheese tasting and an interactive- hands on cooking class on how to make Dangria, Tapas, and paella.

Overall, the itinerary was excellent. I am happy that EuropaMundo listened to previous reviews and made this tour less hectic, and we got to actually enjoy each location and each stop. We did not feel rushed and the pace was appropriate. I like that we arrived to our hotels at reasonable hours and not at 10pm as in previous trips. I wished that mornings started at 8:30 and not before. We did have a few times that we were told to wait at 7:50 but the bus and Guide did not arrive until 30 minutes later, leaving 50 people anxiously waiting and unhappy. It is still very hard the changing of the people, leaving and joining every day, and the changing of guides. We did not like the baby on the bus. This is not appropriate. Enough that we had over 10 small annoying kids. The Hotels were excellent except in Lisbon where we could hear the airplanes all night long and did not sleep, because the hotel was at the airport without proper insulation. Overall, we enjoyed the tour very much. The Guide Javier was excellent, as well as all the local experts Raphaela in Lisbon was exceptional- please pass this to her.

This tour was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend it. The pace was perfect for me! Several nights in Costa del Sol and two nights in Madrid. Perfect! The tour manager Carmen was kind, thoughtful, fun, informative and entertaining! Some highlights of the tour were the home hosted dinner, where we met local woman Esperanza- and she cooked for us a veritable feast of traditional Spanish food. It was a meal I’ll never forget. I also enjoyed the Flamenco lesson! I went on this tour in December, and Spain was bustling with beautiful Christmas markets, and the streets were filled with decorative lights and festive music! This was my 6th Collette tour and they just are getting better and better!!!

Overall trip was very satisfactory but there are too many different groups in and out during the tour that sometimes became a bit confusing and due to different hotels stay among the group, the tour journey became longer due to having to drop different groups each time. Despite this, the tour was interesting and enjoyable
