Spain 19-Day Tours and Trips

We enjoyed the Morocco part the best because the 18 of us English tour had our own bus and tour guide. Ayoub was by far the best guide ever. Even though we booked an English speaking tour, the fact that the majority of Europamundo clients are Spanish speaking. We were lumped together with the Spanish speakers in Spain and Portugal where we were the minority. The guides speaking in their native language tend to talk more and when they had to speak in English it is not so fluent and with an accent. The hotels tend to be away from the city center with some in the middle of nowhere. I must say even though the itinerary include Porto, we never really being there. We were taken to Gaia and saw Porto across the river and we stayed in a hotel in Gaia which is the worst hotel in the tour. No cups, glasses or even a paper cup in the room. Had to go to the lobby to get their tiny paper cups. Overall Europamundo did a good job.

We did not enjoy the tour when we were packed like sardines in a double decker bus with one tour guide and sixty people. Furthermore 55 of the 60 people were Indian, they were very loud, some of them smell very bad, they burped and farted like it was a normal thing to do. There was a huge clash of cultures and we believe the Indian people should be put together in their own English speaking tour, furthermore they did not enjoy the food and constantly complained about the breakfast and dinner, its a waste of money from Europamundo to pay for this food that is wasted. We have traveled with Europamundo several times but after this experience we will be considering other options such as cosmos, trafalgar. The Indian culture is very different and because we were uncomfortable we did not enjoy the tour. Once we went to Morocco we shared the bus with Latin people and the situation got better but we chose English because its my first language even though I understand Spanish, I feel more comfortable with English. Please customize English tours for the future for non Indian travelers. Please proofread all your communications and itineraries in emglish, the context is not accurate sometimes, you need a person that speaks English well and can translate correctly the itineraries and documentation. The hotel in Portugal was the worst, old, full of smoke, smelly, outdated, Europamundo should not send anyone ever there. The hotel in Rabat was also old and outdated with rude service. The hotel in fez was old, loud and also full of smoke, food was not good The excursion in the desert belmoune was amazing with the camel ride, the best of the trip in Morocco The worst excursion was fantasía in Marrakech, food was great, show was bad, too short, employees seen unhappy. Tour guides for Europamundo need to speak English better and the company needs to invest money in training them to speak better English

An interesting experience for a first time solo travel, I can say for certainty that I have created some lifelong memories, and that even though there were ups and downs, I would 100% do another Contiki. The people are what make Contiki unforgettable, even more-so than the places. I would recommend picking Contiki for places which you don’t care too much to see everything, as you only get a glimpse of big cities.

The tour was sold as a single unit, one group of clients for the entire trip. The trip was in fact two trips with two distinct group of people of differing demographics with days lost in the middle with no mixing of the those continuing on from the fist tour and those on the second Tour until day two. The tour Director did her best at the transition, however it was extremely difficult to manage those departing, those staying and those joining at the same time. The last two days were a waste of time in Barcelona, all the sights had been covered in the first tour and the tour director was busy looking after the second tour groups activities.

We used them for our first Camino Walk. From start to end everything went smoothly. Two couples, bags transfers, accommodations, transportation where required. We had great information and support from the time we started our contact with them up to the end. We walked 300km+ , it was great to know there were beds at the end of the day and the hotels /motels were all great. Highly recommend!

The hotels were good. The buses clean. The optional excursion good except for the Berber Fantasy... The whole trip would have been fantastic for sure except that it was prematurely terminated with the international lockdowns... Considering the situation, I thank Europamundo for taking good care of all 100 of us in the group. You truly protected us Our tour director Pedro Vega and his colleagues made sure we all made it back to Madrid where we could get flights back home. Your company made sure we had hotels, food, transportation and continued support until we all got home. Europamundo will always be on the top of our list
