We saw a lot of Sapin which was what we wanted. The itinerary was great. However, it was a bit rushed and a lot more walking then indicated.
The coach was very nice, comfortable and well equipped, nice big window as long as you were not seated by a partition of the windows.
The hotels were for the most part very nice. The hotel in Valencia was terrible.
The "tour" was well organized and pace was appropriate. The accommodations were very good and the hotel staff members were very friendly and helpful. The leader was well informed about the cultural and natural history of the area and took the time to assess each participant's requirements, physical capabilities and personality. He successfully balanced the needs and interests of each individual with the expectations of the group as a whole.
Things were covered as per itinerary and guides were very helpful and knowledgeable. But for 5 day trip to Spain, I feel only Barcelona and Montserrat would be better for a 5 day trip. There was not enough time to see Barcelona. The trip from Madrid to Barcelona was too tiring for a 5 day trip. Hotel Hamilton by Hilton in Barcelona was very nice and spacious room. Room in Hotel Prada in Madrid was too small and congested.
Transfers were really easy between airport and hotel, and coach bus to ports/stations for further transfers went smoothly. Great Thank you to the tour guides Maria Arrana, Theresa and Angela and Linus with Europamundo
Picture yourself wandering through the medieval alleys of Carcassonne, the sunny streets of Barcelona, and the vibrant markets of Marseille—all in just four days. The 'Catalonia, South of France and Provence' walking tour provides a relaxed yet memorable experience, specially curated for seniors. With hotel accommodation, transport, and meals included, this group trip is as worry-free as it is diverse. Its unique edge is the seamless combination of Catalan and Provençal cultures, offering a compact yet rich exploration of both France and Spain.
