We have definitely made some good acquaintances that could become friends

The Barcelona part of the trip was very disjointed as we kept changing tour guides and overlapping other tours. The pick up times were always late and the Praga Hotel was very small and cramped.

Just completed 21 days Europe : East to West with 13 other friends. An awesome trip. A little hectic, with lots of walking; however fully worth the walks and the money. Great itinerary with knowledgeable and responsible guides, comfy buses and premier hotels. No reason to complain at all. Sign up and NOT be disappointed. Kudos to Bookmundi.
The hotel in Barcelona, Frontair Congress, was a very bad hotel. Hotel staff were rude. The room was dirty. The hotel in Lyon, Campanille, was also dirty and small. The breakfast was bad. Basic spoon, fork and plate were not available.
As for the guides, we were very happy with Abdel, Spain guide, and Diego Bueno, our Interlaken, Grindelwald and Lucerne guide. Both of them were empathetic on our needs. Their English was good. We understood them the entire time. Angeles, our guide in France, was nice but we barely understood her English.
Over-all, we were very happy with the Novotel hotels we stayed in, both in Madrid and Paris.
