I liked how you commit the scheduled time in Itinerary, But it is mentioned that your services will end after breakfast on last day, but it is ended after breakfast the day before.
The Spanish Guides were Top and explained every thing, But as i am Arabian and the tour includes Arabic guide, he was terrible , Uncooperative, Poor Information about historical places from him, did not translate what guides say and depends on our good knowledge of English.
i rated him while we were in our tour, and you contacted me, and we said that the driver who drove up us from Prague airport was late but we did that to give him another chance, but he did not learn from that.
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.

The Barcelona part of the trip was very disjointed as we kept changing tour guides and overlapping other tours. The pick up times were always late and the Praga Hotel was very small and cramped.

This was a great trip to explore each city. Personally, this felt a bit more independent type travel (exploring the city by yourself or if you made a friend with them) vs other Contikis (more time with the group). Hotels were great and fantastic locations (centrally located near metros and the main train station). Fantastic free time add ons as well.
