Spain Group Tours

The Itinerary is excellent however travellers should note that whilst Insight state this is a 15 day tour it is actually only 13 days with the remaining 2 days being a welcome & dinner on Day 1 evening and a departure to the airport on Day 15.

It is a good balance between going to major attractions in larger cities and visiting some smaller, lesser known places that are just lovely. Our tour guide, Brad, knows so much about both countries, as well as Gibraltar, that I learned so much while thoroughly enjoying this vacation.

The hotel chosen in Madrid was not up to standard. Our luggage was delivered to the wrong room and not found for 11/11/2 hours. Just got sorted and they had to change our room because air con wasn’t working. Also there was not enough food at the dinner buffet on the last night. Those of us at the end of the line faced empty dishes that were not replaced. I ended up with soup and cheese and biscuits and some vegetables. Definitely not up to Insight standards.

I loved all the places we visited. Each of them had a unique flair that when put together and viewed as a whole give you a taste of the truly amazing Spain and Portugal.

I loved the full tour, and both tour directors. My complaint would be that it was a bit confusing on the last day, as the tour covered what we'd already seen, beginning in Barcelona. We were assisted (by the tour director, Sonia) in planning an alternate excursion, so it worked out OK.

We enjoyed the trip, at times it was hectic but we understand this to see everything that we did. Our only complaint was and we feel very strongly about this was Madrid by night with dinner. We understand that due to unforeseen circumstances the venue was changed which we do not have a problem with. The meal was way below sub standard and the entertainment performed by the staff at the changed venue was not what we expected. We understood that it was by local entertainers not by the staff who work at the venue. We feel by paying 76 Euros for that evening was not acceptable. We would rate this optionable experience 3 out of 10. Apart from this experience the trip was great. We have done many tours with Insight Vacations and would highly recommend them.
