Customer Reviews
As the title says "It's highlights", so you will see a lot, but won't have much time for free time or shop unless you skip the extra optional excursions. Hotels are not centrally located so not within short walking distance of popular squares, etc. May require your own transpositions. Wish insight could do better job of finding more centrally located hotels.
Well run itinerary. Chad did great! However, I should not have signed up for it. Was not my cup of tea. Regimented schedules are not my fort.
It is “packed” - not in a bad way. We took all the optional excursions (which were great) and my wife complained about not much time to shop. This is not a complaint - it is just jam packed. But - we saw a lot, which was the goal.
Very hectic, covered too many venues, with a time limit at each place, Definitely not a tour for older people. Tour director and driver were kind and considerate, listening and helpful constantly, Food was not always the best at the set menu restaurants, eg paella with only choice of chicken or rabbit, Flamenco boring, story hard to understand and too long Hotels all excellent with generous breakfast selections and service
