Itinerary

This 18-day guided tour takes you from Barcelona to Madrid — stopping at every charming town in between. Walk the narrow lanes of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter with a Local Expert, weaving your way to the lively Las Ramblas, where street performers put on shows. Paella was created in Valencia, and you will indulge in the savoury rice dish after a private demonstration from a local chef. Stomp your feet in Seville during a flamenco dance lesson, then relax as the professionals put on a private show for you and your fellow travellers. Walk across the 2,000-year-old Roman bridge in Cordoba, then meet a local historian at the city’s 8th Century mosque with a Christian cathedral inside it. In Madrid, walk with a Local Expert through the city’s Old Quarter to the Prado Museum, where an art historian will reveal the stories behind the masterpieces of artists such as Goya and Titian.

Many of optional experiences should have been included as his was a Spanish Heritage tour . This may have made the tour a little more expensive but the experiences we’re important.

AnonymousOn Jun 24, 2025

Exceptional locations and cities in both the north and the south of Spain. Wonderful local tour guides, personable and very knowledgeable on the specific location. However, the structure and switch of Tour Director during mid tour (50% completed) was inefficient and badly planned. This was in effect, two (2) tours placed together and sequential which caused inefficiency during the tour. This should have been communicated to all the Spanish Heritage tour travelers much, much more clearly. Two SEPARATE hotels during the three days in Madrid was badly planned and structured increasing the pace, stress and frustration among many of the travelers who had signed up for the Spanish Heritage Tour. Mostly good and wonderfull, but badly planned and structured by the administration of Insight Vacation. Respectfully.

This 18 day tour was a combination of two 9 day tours which covered some of the same places. Quite a misrepresentation of an 28 day tour. I would like some sort of response. Thank you.
