Santander Tours in Summer

Itinerary was very good. Always a balancing act regarding visiting all of the "mandatory tourist spots" versus staying in a town an extra day. Taking the trip in mid July was challenging due to the hot temperatures, for me, it has detracted from the overall memories. Nonetheless, Cordoba and Gilbralter were stunning. Our tour director was knowledgeable and skillfull in managing all the personalities (particularly the troublesome ones).

This was an outstanding tour, with one exception. Our bus was without wi-fi for several days. It disappointed me that although we were in several major cities, it took nearly a week to get the part that was needed to repair this. The tour director’s comment that “10 years ago none of these buses had wi-fi, it’s no big deal” was not helpful. For those working remotely and needing to be connected, it was a big deal. Ten years ago, there was no remote work, and if it is advertised that this is available, people make plans based on that information. I ended up using time at the hotel that I could have been out exploring my destination, because I finally had access to wi-fi. Again, it was a great trip but I just wanted to level set about the importance of something that might be viewed as minor to others.

The Best Of Spain itinerary takes you to all the highlights and must see places in Spain. The pace is fairly fast with not much free time in some locations. We went on all the optional experiences and they were great. Not taking them would mean missing out on a lot of local traditions and iconic structures. Make sure you budget this extra cost when planning your trip.

This was an amazing itinerary! Lots of beautiful and interesting places, great information about them. Excellent organization and excellent comfort during the drive. Local specialists were amazing! The Travel Director was the best; very knowledgeable and professional and the drivers excellent.

Very comprehensive in a Country with so much history. It is difficult to see everything that you want to, but we believe your itinerary did a great job of covering the highlights. The extra excursions added depth to tour and provided interesting background information that added to the experience.

This was very well throughout, planned, well done trip. Our tour guide, bus driver and our small group of 22 made it a very enjoyable, memorable time in Spain. Spain in the summer is HOT be aware that you walk lots, are up and ready to go by 8AM on the bus. You have maybe 3-4 days where you are not up early to be ready to board the bus. The Best of Spain is visiting many cities and fast pace. However, experiencing many cities and driving all over Spain is awesome and you really feel the culture. I recommend this trip, for those travelers looking to visit Spain, understand the culture and history.
