The hotels in Madrid (praga) and Seville (alcora) were very bad. There was bad air conditioning..was hot in the room. We complained but nothing was done by hotel. The wi fi was only working on the common area..no connection in the room. Hotel prga breakfast was also quote bad and so was alcora. These are hotels that cater to large groups and that takes away from the comfort and experience of the trip. This was the only criticism of the their trip. Bad hotels provided.
The itinerary was perfectly curated, allowing us to see so much in just 10 days without feeling rushed. I particularly enjoyed the blend of city tours and beautiful coastal views. The guides were exceptional, and their passion for their countries was evident. This tour is a wonderful way to discover the rich heritage and stunning beauty of Spain and Portugal.
Overall satisfied with the tour. Guides were pleasant and knowledgeable. Drivers were safe and friendly. Areas to improve is to ensure bud drive back to the hotel when guests were left to tour the city. We were a big group 17 pax and were left in the city to find our own means to get back to the hotel. The Sintra excursion was a disappointment to the whole group as we were not taken to the actual Sintra Castle but only at the bottom site where there is not much to see. We all felt short changed for the excursion fees we paid. The Flamenco excursion was unsatisfactory too. Also we were misinformed that the Flamenco is outside the city and would be tight if we watch the bull fight show of 6pm. We were all dismayed when we were taken the Flamenco venue located only within the bull fight stadium.

The hotel in Barcelona, Frontair Congress, was a very bad hotel. Hotel staff were rude. The room was dirty. The hotel in Lyon, Campanille, was also dirty and small. The breakfast was bad. Basic spoon, fork and plate were not available.
As for the guides, we were very happy with Abdel, Spain guide, and Diego Bueno, our Interlaken, Grindelwald and Lucerne guide. Both of them were empathetic on our needs. Their English was good. We understood them the entire time. Angeles, our guide in France, was nice but we barely understood her English.
Over-all, we were very happy with the Novotel hotels we stayed in, both in Madrid and Paris.
