Hi, I really enjoyed this trip.
I would suggest to put just two stops/visits for each day and not more: otherwise this could easly cause daley during the tour.
The Mediterranean Tour was wonderful and will be fondly remembered for the rest of my lifetime. A favorite experience is difficult to choose as so many were great. I was awed by the visit to the Basilica of the Holy Family in Barcelona.
