This itinerary was perfect for me and my husband. It would be great if three nights would have been allotted to Lisbon by adding a day and making the tour 10 days instead of 9. Our tour director Sabrina was great!

Too much too fast We needed more time in several spots, less in others. TA did not advice about the hectic pace. Madrud and Barcelona were extremely confusing with the changes in buses, groups, guides, etc.

Overall a great experience. Would suggest only a drive by through Marbella and more time in Ronda and Valencia. Hotels were very comfortable. Tour guides were knowledgeable with some providing even more information than they probably needed to.

Hotels were mostly good. Bus service, the hygiene in the bus as well as the behavior of the guides, drivers etc was all good. Majed was very friendly, adjusting and knowledgeable.
