The circuits were very good and my guides were excellent save one. Hats off to Jose Maria Alvear, Diana and most of all Diego Bueno Gonzalez. They are the best guides.
I thoroughly enjoyed my local experience tour. I was able to complete all the hikes offered. A good number of my fellow travelers were not able to do the hikes. It seemed their understanding of the physical requirements was not good. Perhaps more or clearer information on physical fitness requirements would help(?…).

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.
Overall a great trip. Our guides were wonderful and very helpful. Not all of the hotels were up to standard. The Marina Hotel In Kusadasi was the worst. Very shabby, dirty, and the water was turned off at night The front desk offered no explanation, just that it would be back on at 5:00. The Pasabey Hotel in Marmaris also not very good, and they turned their wifi off at night, until 8 a.m. This is unacceptable. We had trouble with the wifi in all the hotels except in Istanbul. Very difficult for a traveller with no cell phone data. The food set meal in the Hilton, Safranbolu was terrible. Staff were extremely unhelpful, and would not supply small extras such as butter. Very surprising for a Hilton. The itinerary was great - lots of interesting, beautiful and historic sites. Nice to have the ferry and boat rides included during the tour. Could have done without the carpet and leather shops.
Overall a good experience. Enjoyed travelling with my family. Ms. Irene, our guide till Venice was cheerful, jovial, caring and helpful. Bus journeys were also comfortable. All the walking tour guides were good. But, Mr. Alex at Rome was best and Ms.Moica Gaetz at Vienna was `The Best with her knowledge and passion for history, art and culture. We liked that bus and walking tour with her at Vienna the most.

While I can go along well with people from any country, still I would prefer to be with those from my region, that is with Asians or better yet with my countrymen
