Thanks Europamund for the trip, the one thing I liked the most was when we missed on some visits during the trip, you guys ensures we visited those places the next day even if the number of people were very less.
En General nos ha gustado el viaje.
Los lugares que hemos visitado han sido hermosos.
El primer dia habia una chica en silla de ruedas en Madrid, cuando la chica subio al autobus y trato de buscar asiento fue la ultima en subir y todos los asientos estaban ocupados con muletas iba la pobre recorriendo el autobus, mientras el autobus estaba en movimieto... hasta que empezamos a gritarle al guia para que parara el autobus pues la chica se iba callendo.
La otra fue que en 2 dias consecutivos un grupo que venia en parejas se sentaron separados todos en ventanilla, dejandonos unicamente asientos en pasillo y sin la posibilidad de sentarnos con nuestra familia, al quejarnos con el guia, no hicieron nada.
Al dia siguiente despues de una parada, ese mismo grupo entro al autobus antes y movio nuestras pertenencias de nuestros asientos para hacer lo mismo, sentarse todos en ventanilla. YO trate se sentarme al lado de una senora en un asiento libre de pasillo y la senora no me dejo sentarme ahi, puso su bolsa, al pedirle de favor si podia mover si bolsa para yo sentarme, pues era el unico asiento libre, la hija sentada enfrente empezo a gritarme que no me querian que yo me sentara al lado de la senora, que la senora queria ir ella sola en los 2 asientos, otro pasajero se dio cuenta y me hizo el gran favor de moverse junto a su esposo para que yo me pudiera sentar junto a mi hija, mientras los guias solo nos veian, hasta que me dirigi directo a los guias, lo unico que hicieron es hablar con todo el autobus para pedir cada quien se sentara donde venia. Nada agradable. Despues de esto nos cambiamos de autobus con un grupo de 6 otros pasajeros en Portugal y el viaje fue maravillosamente agradable con ellos.
We had a fantastic week in Catalonia! The hotels in Salou, Lleida, and Barcelona were awesome (especially the Parador in Lleida), but not the hotel in Lloret de Maret (Guitart Gold Central Park). It was a low-quality food and accommodations hotel mostly directly to Senior citizens, not to mention the terrible customer service we experienced. The itinerary could improve: the Barcelona day should be placed either at the beginning or the end of the tour, and the Costa Brava day could include little beautiful towns such as Tossa de Mar and Tiramiu (as we did). Overall it was a GREAT way to experience and get to know Catalonia outside of Barcelona.

Overall everything was amazing; Prague and Amsterdam were my favorite cities
I would not want to stop at Lake Como again though; the area we stopped looked dirty, wasnt very interesting, and the available toilets were HORRIBLE no privacy/glass doors people could see through; squat toilet; urine covering the floor
The 15 day tour of Sicily was absolutely fantastic. The best tour guide ever, her name is Milena. A wonderful driver Alessandro. I felt that it was a pretty comprehensive tour of Sicily seeing all the highlights plus more. Fabulous food in restaurants where we ere taken by Milena. Verdict EXCELLENT.

The tour with Destination Services was great! Ysmail was very knowledgeable and patient to explain everything. Victor was very helpful with the luggages and made sure that the bus is clean. Hotel accommodations were nicely picked as well. The only thing I was not expecting was the 2 days that we were left on our own to go back to the hotel due to extra activities that we did not participate. Other than that, all great experience!
