Valencia Cultural, religious and historic sites Trips

This was a really enjoyable trip. My e-bike was the best I've ever had (thanks Miguel!) and ideal for the terrain. The scenery was interesting and varied, we cycled on mainly quiet roads and tracks, and it was great to be away from tourist hotspots. I can't speak too highly of Miguel. He's a lovely guy, very well organised while making it all look easy, and he did all he could to make our trip a safe and enjoyable one. He worked hard to make sure we all had a good time and took us to some fantastic restaurants where the food was delicious and excellent value. The area has an interesting history and I thought the balance was just right between hearing about it without feeling overburdened with information. 100% recommend!

The Murcia tour was a good cycling itinerary through mostly rural Spain. Miguel was an excellent guide and gave generously of his time. The areas visited had few tourists which was nice but also resulted in fewer options for dining. We were rained out of our first day of cycling which is unavoidable, but I think spending the first day visiting Murcia would have been more interesting than Caravaca and would have not disrupted the flow of the trip.

Miquel is a lovely guy, knows what he is doing, is fun to be with and is a great leader. He looked after us like a mother hen, showed us some beautiful sites and worked like a Trojan to make sure those under his care had a really good time.. Everyone enjoyed themselves, we gelled well as a group and I am really happy to have made some new friends all of whom would agree that we could not have asked for a better companion / leader than Miquel.

ALthough not a problem for me there should be a disclaimer about the amount of walking on the tour. Other older guests had problems in my tour group. Also the amount of people per tour was too much. THe optional tours should be included in the price of the tour. Then you have to tip the local guides. Too much tipping.

My daughter and I had a fantastic time on this very thorough tour of Spain. The itinerary was fast paced but we still had time to explore at our leisure in each city. The 3 days in beachy relaxing Costa Del Sol was a welcome break from the early morning starts and it was in the middle of the itinerary to that was nice. If you want to learn about the history, art, architecture and people of Spain this is the tour for you. Very educational and interesting. Our tour director Lydia was exceptional and our drivers were top notch. We also enjoyed the mix of group dinners and on our own meals. During the group meals we got to experience many foods that we probably wouldn't have tried on our own. I highly recommend this tour.

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).
