Although advertised as easy pace, this tour requires a high level of fitness. Many of the excursions involve a lot of walking to or from drop off points. A number of the tours were up and down steep footpaths.

We were very busy. Not so easy paced. We did chose all but one of the optional tours. All were very good. The food at the Flamico evening was not good. The dancing was excellent. We would have liked more time in the Prado. The guide was excellent
