A spectacular area to hike. The village of Sotres is small and friendly. The family hotel was welcoming and the food was consistently great. Juan was an interesting and engaged hiking guide. Overall a very good experience.

I understand that its important to have an enticing list of destinations, but some cities only allowed for a few evening hours. Personally I would have paid extra for a Frecciarossa in order to obtain a few more time.
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.
Great leaders and local guides provided information on the major highlights as we traveled from site to site. The tour targeted the most popular sites. There was a large variety of experiences available for all. Too short to enjoy everything.
We booked european dance last sept 2017 from europamundo. our tour guides diego and angela are great, they were caring, with sense of humour and very knowledgeable. the bus we used were all comfortable. the hotels used are outside city center. drivers and tour guides were always on time.after the discussions and showing us the important sites , they gave us free time to explore on our own. although, a lot of walking everyday, we enjoyed the tour. we understand they wanted to show us all the sites in tne itenerary. we met good people, new friends. thank you europamundo. thumbs up.
Travel director was a beautiful superstar. Hotels were all excellent. Included meals were great. And we had so much fun during the included sightseeing, and the optional experiences that we participated in. Overall I would recommend this trip to anyone, and I’d do the exact same trip again next year.
