ALthough not a problem for me there should be a disclaimer
about the amount of walking on the tour. Other older guests
had problems in my tour group. Also the amount of people per
tour was too much. THe optional tours should be included in
the price of the tour. Then you have to tip the local guides. Too
much tipping.

The trip was very good except
You show multiple option trips that we can choose prior to booking
When we get there the tour guide said she is picking the tours that we can only do
So we had a plan to do excursions that involved meals because on those days we had to provide our own dinners
Our friends that went with us
We had planned this then was told we could not do what we wanted !
Same people always late getting on bus
They should have been warned first day
Then if they continued leave them
Maybe they would be on time in the future days
Guide was very good with making sure everyone was taken care of

My daughter and I had a fantastic time on this very thorough tour of Spain. The itinerary was fast paced but we still had time to explore at our leisure in each city. The 3 days in beachy relaxing Costa Del Sol was a welcome break from the early morning starts and it was in the middle of the itinerary to that was nice. If you want to learn about the history, art, architecture and people of Spain this is the tour for you. Very educational and interesting. Our tour director Lydia was exceptional and our drivers were top notch. We also enjoyed the mix of group dinners and on our own meals. During the group meals we got to experience many foods that we probably wouldn't have tried on our own. I highly recommend this tour.
