Spain, Morocco and Portugal

Excellent tour guide (which helps!!) Extensive exploration of significant sites. Interesting free-time stopovers. Availability to "just about everything". Very rarely where we stopped because of our religion/nationality/identity. Well done Trafalgar !!!

The itinerary was well balanced in relation to experiencing what each country has to offer as a snapshot Time spent on the coach was long on some occasions eg: Madrid to Granada, Lisbon to Matrid

Primarily, the timing was perfect. The weather was just right, not too hot. Some of the places we went were crowded but was expected. The tour director, the local guides were very professional. They went out of their way to make the experience pleasant. This was my first visit to Spain, Portugal and Morocco. It exceeded my expectation. These places are historical and the places we visited were utterly magnificent in architecture and resplendent in artistically decorations. Lucky for Europe to have these legacies from their descendants.

1. Our travel director was somewhat disorganized and his instructions at times were confusing, even though we understood times and situations change without any ones control. His demeanor on most occasions was dismissive when spoken to and at times he was condescending. 2. For the trip itself we had quite the experience and at times was exciting and educational. 3. Morocco - we did not entirely know or understand what exactly the excursion to Morocco would be about. There was some frustration during this leg of the trip and this will be expanded on in the following comments. The trip to Morocco took two full days to enter and exit the country and it was exhausting and disorganized. The experiences, Carpet and Leather tours was NOT at all what we were expecting. We expected to see demonstrations on how carpet and leather was made NOT A BUYING TRIP FOR CARPET AND LEATHER PRODUCTS. If we would have know that this was the sole purpose of this trip, to bring us to these businesses to purchase items, we would NOT have spent the money to go on this experience. 4. It was quite evident that the travel directors would receive "commissions" (after a witnessed transaction) on items purchased by the group, by bringing the group/tour to these two business, this fact being a very unsettling opinion on Trafalgar. 5. Also, the people who did not want to purchase any items had to remain, almost in captivity, until everyone, being those who were purchasing items, were ready to leave and continue on. 6. One change that needs to be made is to make a note on the trip details that walking times can be lengthy at times. We noted some seniors on the trip struggled with some of the excursions. 7. We noted that those of us that have been on multiple trips with Trafalgar, never received any gift from the travel director, unlike the other trips we were on and received gifts from the travel directors. 8. Finally, it was disappointing that this trip did not leave us with the same amazing experience like our other two trips. At this time, we are somewhat hesitant in booking another trip or making a referral to others to use Trafalgar. Time will dictate our commitment to Trafalgar.

Mr. *personal info removed by Feefo* was a fantastic tour directory. He was organized, attentive to the needs of the travelers, professional in his service, and an overall provider of an excellent experience. He should be rewarded for his due diligence in the above endeavors. I would recommend him and Trafalgar to anyone interested in a tripe to Southwestern Europe and North Africa.
