Budget Trips to Spain

Our tour of the Mediterranean Coastal Journey, far exceeded our expectations. The tour manager was absolutely amazing! Having been thrown some curveballs, especially when the rain and windy weather caused Cinque Terre to be closed! Barbara pulled together a tour of the Imperiale Palace for the next day, with a demo on making Pesto sauce, then each of us made pesto as well. I was so looking forward to Cinque Terre, but in the long run we had a great experience in Genoa. Also, the hotel there was lovely being located on the marina, and all the shops and restaurants were just across the street. I was not looking forward to our stay in Genoa but came away pleasantly surprised. Our group of 22 turned out to be incredibly friendly right from the beginning. All the restaurants were very good, she even surprised us with a 1* Michelin dinner experience in substitution for that evening dining experience having been cancelled, so we got to eat at the number 1 restaurant in Marseilles! I have to say that Barbara was responsible for getting the group off to a great start being together, with her great sense of humor, friendliness, being firm about the start time to be on the bus :-) She went above and beyond making the last night of our tour so very special for my daughter, being it was her actual birthday. It was all just perfect! Thank you, Barbara, what tour will you be leading next season? I would consider going on it knowing how you can handle even those last-minute curveballs!

The tour in Portugal, specifically in Lisbon, was exceptional. Our experience with Europamundo was remarkable, particularly thanks to the Tour Guides, Gildo and Aman Gonzalez. Aman is genuinely outstanding, and you will surely appreciate him. He offers thorough and succinct information to the tourists, ensuring they are well-informed and always ready to help us. He is indeed a charming, pleasant, and self-assured guide. We thoroughly enjoyed the itinerary, traveling from one town to another, which allowed us to visit wonderful locations.

I am pleased that I participated in the tour alongside my best friend. It brought me great joy to explore various locations in Madrid and Portugal. I am quite satisfied with the itinerary, the tour guides, and the destinations we visited. Everything proceeded smoothly. I will certainly make another booking with Europamundo.

If you want a value for money trip to Europe, choose Europamundo. Everything was organized, reasonably priced, and well-planned. It was truly an enjoyable experience for my family, especially that it was our first time in Europe.

This is really not a tour for English speaking tourists. We were the only ones on our bus. Maria was great at making sure we felt comfortable and know the history about the places we went. I didn’t like that we were bounced around from bus to bus and a different group everyday. Since we were the only ones that spoke English other than the guide, we didn’t really speak to anyone and make any friends. I felt like some of the stops could have been longer. We would stop at a cute village for 45 minutes and 15 of that would be standing in line for the restrooms with everyone else on the bus. Overall we were happy with the tour. Maria is the best and if she could have been with us the whole time it would have been better. I would recommend this if you speak good Spanish so that you could communicate with other travelers.

We had a really good group, our guide and driver were exceptional. Accommodations were outstanding, and ample time for wandering on our own. Collette is the only way we travel.
