Amazing trip with fabulous people and food! The itinerary was full of beautiful sites with plenty of time to shop for leather goods. Learning the history of such a beautiful country over 2 weeks was unforgettable. Our TD, Pascal, was top notch with helpful hints and did a great job of looking after us. Our group had a special time together and those memories won’t soon fade away. Thank you for a wonderful trip once again!

The hotels at times could have been more central to activities and main attractions.
The main concern I had was the rush for dinners to start and finish so quickly without the chance to stop and enjoy each other and the venue. For example at the olive dinner optional experience, it was over so quickly I didn’t even realize and didn’t get a coffee as they put it to the side and we only had about five minutes to grab one. Again after last night’s dinner, we were served quickly and rushed. A lot of us had discussed how frustrating that was cause we couldn’t sit and talk to one another. We were serving me a coffee when the bus was leaving so I didn’t even get it. I think you should look at those timelines and out for dinners as that usually tends to be the last event in the evening and it would be nice to have more time to enjoy.

Excellent itinerary - you see an overview of a large part of Spain (only north-west area missing) - a couple of places would have liked an extra night but overall great My only issue is the number of optional tours offered - there were too many and some of them should have been included
