Tour Lisbon-Fatima-Madrid-Barcelona Sep 19-25, 2019
Our group of 8 couples from Canada had a blasts We did not expected a comprehensive tour experience and the great professionalism from your tour leaders particularly Toni, Ana, Yelda, Angeles, not to mention local tour leaders Carolina, Annabella and Teresa.
Tour started at Lisbon Sep 19 and ended at Barcelona Sep 25. The hotels were above average and the breakfast had lots of choices and were filling until the early afternoon hours of the tour.
I guess, we got a great deal for the tour package.
As in any big company, we had some minor glitches. I will summarize some below:
- Only 2 of the 7 rooms were available at Holiday Inn Express in Lisbon when we arrived 1 pm. Waited an hour to accommodate all of us. I guess the hotel was full the previous day.
- During our bus trip from Zaragoza to Poblet 2 hours, the bus air conditioning did not work. Two hours of sweat and no air ventilation. Temp reached 29 deg C inside the bus. The driver decided to open his window only during the last 30 minutes to bring down the temp. He gave us free bottled water 1 eurosomewhere in the end.
I guess this is unavoidable circumstance for the trip.
- The Sintra Excursion was not properly handled. The local tour guide Annabella did not mention to us that the top castle could be reach by bus, tuk-tuk or taxi. We had 1.5 hours in the area. My friends were supposedly looking forward to see the castle place. She should have given that option, I think.
- In Madrid, my friends were interested to watch the bullfight scheduled Sunday at 6pm. However, we have a Flamenco excursion at 9pm. Yelda, our tour leader DID NOT mention that the Flamenco site is inside the bullring area too. We should have booked a bullring fight with my friends and just met them after the bullfight. Bad decision on her part. I guess she want it as a secret location surprise. Too bad, we missed it
- We had no transfer from Sagrada excursion/La Ramblas to the hotel. We paid 45 Euros each just to be on your own, afterwards? All of us ended paying taxi to reach our hotel. They should have provided bus for our group of 17 persons.
- Again, we had no transfer from Plaza Mayor to the hotel. We ended up taking the Metro. Is this normal?
Anyways, our group had fun and fond memories of Portugal and Spain. Thank you very much Europamundo. We will be back again using your services in the future. We will also recommend you to our friends.
Lessons Learned: Not to book the excursions we booked Sintra, Flamenco, Sagrada. All had mess up the bus schedules of our group - as such, bus schedule pick-up/logistics and program were affected.

Montsie wasnt great at giving us information about the optional extras so no one got to attend the flamenco dinner and show in Madrid.
While she was always nice and friendly to me and my companion, at times she was rude to the other travellers. It would help if the guides could have copies of the city maps with them and mark the routes back to the hotel. We had to wait for the guides to get the maps from the information centres and then figure out how to get back to the hotel. some stops we could have missed and others we could have spent more time. Example, more time in Malaga and skip Marbella. When Maria joined us, we finally got information about the optional extras, but couldnt take advantage because there had to be a minimum of 15 people. You were lucky we decided to go with your tour because the details are very lacking until you confirm the trip. Also you send emails in Spanish only which is not good for people like me who only speak and read English. Maria was fantastic as a guide and a great asset to your company. She was training Ana and did a fantastic job. Ana has great potential to become another great asset to your company.
Just completed 21 days Europe : East to West with 13 other friends. An awesome trip. A little hectic, with lots of walking; however fully worth the walks and the money. Great itinerary with knowledgeable and responsible guides, comfy buses and premier hotels. No reason to complain at all. Sign up and NOT be disappointed. Kudos to Bookmundi.
The itinerary provided so much enjoyment, filled with variety, excitement, and entertainment. it combined scheduled events with added free time to explore on our own. The breaks in driving time was well planned out but, ALL FUTURE tour busses MUST have a WC on board. The accommodations for the most part were like no other. Just one location should be taken off the list in Savilla, it is not a good representation of you fine company. All in all, it was FANTASTIC and a bucket list item that I am so glad I took. Thank you
