We had a great time in Andalucía! The area had been on my list for ages so I was thrilled to finally go and visit the Alhambra and the royal palaces. The Mezquita in Cordoba was wonderful. Another night there would have been great. We enjoyed the 2 nights spent in our Craig's property: it was very comfortable and the walking excellent. The breakfast was the best we had all week.
The group gelled well; everyone was like-minded and friendly. Craig, our guide, was very knowledgeable and helpful.
We were less keen on the Seville hotel, though it was well located. The breakfast was poor. Attractions in Seville were busy but we read the information provided in the trip notes, and booked the Alcazar and cathedral in advance.
Travelling by public transport seemed efficient, though more time consuming than a private bus.

I traveled alone and was assigned 2 different roommates as it was different tours. The program was packed and sometimes was tiring but I would not ask for less. The itinerary was well thought off and planned so would not change anything except to spend more time in Andoora as I felt that was a bit rushed and there was still so much more I wished to see.
This was an absolutely amazing trip! Every day was full of really interesting experiences. Spain might be the most enchanting country that we have ever visited. We didn't want the trip to end. I highly recommend this Expat adventure!
The tour operator provided a trip at a reasonable cost, superior accommodation and an itinerary true to it's advertised version. Any questions I had prior to the trip were readily answered and customer service was speedy while on the vacation. I will highly recommend this operator for trips to Spain.
Walking Granada and in Las Alpujarras was an amazing walk, in beautiful autumn weather. The region and its villages was fascinating, the accommodation and food commendable. We had a glitch with bus travel to the first village, but on the whole, everything went very well. I would recommend this walk.
Interesting 10day break visiting the principal cities of Islamic Spain. Of particular note was the nearly 800 year duration that the Moorish civilisation flourished during which there were significant scientific and cultural advances which are evidenced by the buildings that were left behind.

The Spain tour we were was very good. The hotels were fine as were the breakfast meals. The guides were excellent at each stop as well as our guide and driver for the entire tour.
We saw a lot of Sapin which was what we wanted. The itinerary was great. However, it was a bit rushed and a lot more walking then indicated.
The coach was very nice, comfortable and well equipped, nice big window as long as you were not seated by a partition of the windows.
The hotels were for the most part very nice. The hotel in Valencia was terrible.
