“
This was a driving tour so accommodations had to be made for our luxury bus to always be near all our hotels. Often, we were not in the busiest parts of town, but there were always amenities (restaurants, shops, metro to downtown) near our hotels for those that chose not to join any day / evening tours. My husband and I are adventurous and like to experience life with the locals. So, taking their metro to the heart of the city was a plus. But, if you're expecting the hotel to always be in the town center, where you can just step out and be in the busy center, you maybe dismayed.

Hotels were great just a bit too far from the city centre in some cases. Itinerary was good to just not add much included as other tours we'd done so quite a few additional experiences

The Morocco leg of the trip was interesting, I would prefer to have less time in the markets looking at rugs and leather goods.

Coach was great-comfortable.
Hotels for the most part were good in terms of room size and bed comfort. However in some cases the hotel location was quit far from the heart of the city and therefore not easy to explore the city in the short amount of time that might be available.
The itinerary was too busy for me. There was not enough time to enjoy the different cities/areas, too much time travelling on the road. “Free Rome” was minimal: 20 minutes to 1 hour- not enough time to do anything when part of that time was usually spent waiting in line to use the washroom and then grabbing a snack or lunch.
I would have liked more time in Granada/Malaga/Costa del Sol. Time spent here was very busy and no time to be free to wander or shop, enjoy the beach or beach shops.
Less time in Morocco, maybe take out Fes. The travel is too long.
Some of the included and optional excursions did not have time between them to allow those not interested in the optional ones to be at the hotel and therefore should have been included (Costa del Sol and Seville for example).
The optional outings were very expensive!

I felt this tour tried to cover too much area - there were a few days that we spent 6-8 hours traveling to get to our next destination.
