En General nos ha gustado el viaje.
Los lugares que hemos visitado han sido hermosos.
El primer dia habia una chica en silla de ruedas en Madrid, cuando la chica subio al autobus y trato de buscar asiento fue la ultima en subir y todos los asientos estaban ocupados con muletas iba la pobre recorriendo el autobus, mientras el autobus estaba en movimieto... hasta que empezamos a gritarle al guia para que parara el autobus pues la chica se iba callendo.
La otra fue que en 2 dias consecutivos un grupo que venia en parejas se sentaron separados todos en ventanilla, dejandonos unicamente asientos en pasillo y sin la posibilidad de sentarnos con nuestra familia, al quejarnos con el guia, no hicieron nada.
Al dia siguiente despues de una parada, ese mismo grupo entro al autobus antes y movio nuestras pertenencias de nuestros asientos para hacer lo mismo, sentarse todos en ventanilla. YO trate se sentarme al lado de una senora en un asiento libre de pasillo y la senora no me dejo sentarme ahi, puso su bolsa, al pedirle de favor si podia mover si bolsa para yo sentarme, pues era el unico asiento libre, la hija sentada enfrente empezo a gritarme que no me querian que yo me sentara al lado de la senora, que la senora queria ir ella sola en los 2 asientos, otro pasajero se dio cuenta y me hizo el gran favor de moverse junto a su esposo para que yo me pudiera sentar junto a mi hija, mientras los guias solo nos veian, hasta que me dirigi directo a los guias, lo unico que hicieron es hablar con todo el autobus para pedir cada quien se sentara donde venia. Nada agradable. Despues de esto nos cambiamos de autobus con un grupo de 6 otros pasajeros en Portugal y el viaje fue maravillosamente agradable con ellos.

Was a good tour all things considered with the weather being so stormy. Hotels were great, breakfasts were super.
It would be better if the tour groups size was smaller and the buses were smaller and filled with only one language group.
One of the male guides told off colour jokes in Portuguese, not appropriate in mixed groups.
For the parts of the tour that were cancelled due to bad weather, we were not offered a small refund or other option to do.
Hotels should not be outside of the towns as food choices for supper were very limited at least 4 times.
Herin was to book an extra night in Madrid for us and did not. He quoted a much higher price than the hotel gave us.

This tour was much better than Vibrant Europe mainly because the we had the one guide for the whole trip, less people, and the group dynamics in general was similar. There wasnt a whole group of one ethnicity like in Vibrant Europe with the Iranians and the guide (Nacho) was awesome.
However some of the hotels had no internet and had shitty customer service. They were in no way 4 stars hotel.
The Organisation and logistics were terrible in some places and the choice of hotels was pathetic Especially their breakfast
The hotel Girona Best Western Premier CMC found our injectable expensive medications. Tried as we did we were unable to get them. Very disappointed with this outcome
