My boyfriend and I had an absolutely fantastic time, with great walking and good company in a beautiful setting. The Cortijo was very neat and tidy, and superbly run by Bill, Anne, Maria, Rocio, Anna and Juan. The food was fantastic, even the packed lunches with rolls the size of your head! Roger was a star leader: very knowledgeable and always game for a laugh.  All in all, a perfect balance of sightseeing, exercise in the fresh air, relaxation and indulgence. We would happily return to do it all over again!

This was a great trip to explore each city. Personally, this felt a bit more independent type travel (exploring the city by yourself or if you made a friend with them) vs other Contikis (more time with the group). Hotels were great and fantastic locations (centrally located near metros and the main train station). Fantastic free time add ons as well.
This tour was incredible. The sights were amazing, and our tour leader, Brando, was so knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a fantastic experience and that we didn't miss out on every opportunity he could make possible. The stops were so great, and the locals in each spot were so helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend this tour and have toured with Expat Explore multiple times. Every single tour I have been on was fantastic!

Would highly recommend, this Contiki was a great taste of each country if you aren’t able to commit to longer trips. Our trip manager and coach driver were amazing. Definitely helped with all the organisation and communication that they did. Can not wait to go on another contiki soon!!

A wonderful trip with a great group. Nick the leader was great, extremely informative both about his country but also with his detailed briefings prior to every ride. The trip was well run and a perfect blend of culture, history and enjoyable cycling.
The cycling is reasonably challenging at times and a level of fitness and experience on roads with heavy traffic is needed. It is hilly with some stiff climbs made more so by the hot temperatures we experienced in July. The provided mountain bikes where OK but would be much improved with semi slick tires.
Accommodation and the food in particular was memorable, the later far exceeding expectations.
