Spanish Wonder

Yes but the travel guide and driver made this the most memorable trip

The tour director, bus driver, and the local specialists were very good and helped to maximize the Spanish experience.

good selection of places to see

There are an obscene amount of tour buses in Spain; including and especially Trafalgar. There is no way to enjoy the sites when herded like cattle in, through, and out of the stops/sites. It is impossible to appreciate Spain with too many people converging on one spot at the same time. If you take your eyes off your “herd”, you lose sight of them and find it almost impossible to see them amongst so many other people. Cannot hear through the Vox radios due to so many other tour groups converging. Cannot see out of the bus windows due to reflection 90% of the time. This is no way to travel and Trafalgar is as much to blame as the other tour bus groups. There were multiple Trafalgar buses converging on each other as well as other bus company’s. No wonder the citizens of Spain are so irritated and angry. I would be too! Tour bus companies, like Trafalgar, need to reduce the number of tour buses/groups significantly. One of the hotels we stayed at (Silken in Seville) was subpar at best. We had to haul our luggage on and off the bus and up and down to our room. The rooms were dark, dirty, depressing. We paid full price for this! Other hotels were bad as well, but Silken was the worst. We should get a refund for the two nights stay at Silken (at the very least). Prisoners have better accommodations. My husband and I just wanted to enjoy a special trip in our golden years. What a waste of our hard earned/saved money. Don’t go, don’t go, don’t go. I don’t blame our tour guide or our bus driver who did their best…..I blame Trafalgar. Shame on Trafalgar!!!
