Amazing variety of experiences, excellent tour guide and local specialists. I also loved that Trafalgar supports local artists and family run farms. A highlight for me was the Make Travel Matter experience with the weavers.
This is a fantastic tour through some os Spain’s most beautiful countries. **************** was an amazing guide. Her knowledge of the history of the regions we visited was extremely helpfulti understand the uniqueness of each place we visited. Her multi-language ability, including perfect English was invaluable. Isabelle was also extremely helpful. She helped mesolve a booking problem with a hot. She suggested places to eat and how to get to them. She even provide info about mass services at the cathedrals we visited. I also appreciate that Isabelle went the extra mile to acknowledge those of us who celebrated birthdays or anniversaries while on the tour. I celebrated my 76 th birthday the day the tour ended. Isabelle gave me a gift of a full outfit for the running of the bulls in Pamplona…a white tee shirt, a red boina, a red scarf and a red sash. Isabelle has a kind heart and sincerely cares about her clients. Regardin the tour schedule and logistics I have several comments. First, I felt the schedule was too tight. It was especially hard for me on the one night stops. We would get in mid-afternoon and have to leave early the next morning. my suggestion is to have one ortwo more two day stops. I, personally, needed more down time. Included dinners were excellent. Some of the hotels and rooms did not meet my expectations. Some had cracked floor tiles, odd bathroom designs and old, lumpy beds. Also, all of the showers were extremely slippery with no mats to provide traction. Since most of the travelers on my tour were seniors, you are inviting a lawsuit when someone falls. Grab bars were not present in most showers. I enjoyed all of the optional trips that were provided. The bus driver, Paolo, was excellent. Thank you for an enjoyable experience at a fair price.
