Spain Local culture Trips

This was our 2nd Trafalgar trip., so we knew what to expect (early morning departure's, lots of time in the coach, etc.) Overall, we were very pleased and really enjoyed our experience. a few notes for those of you considering this vacation: the good: -great travel advisor (), very sweet, attentive, very knowledgeable -coach was comfortable. visited many small towns off the beaten path (Avignon, Carcassonne, etc.) -good, diverse mix of people/families on our vacation. all very friendly. -bad traffic situation in Paris // so instead of waiting for our coach, our travel advisor set us up with a taxi (saved us over an hour of wait time) the bad: -some of the included dinners limit you to 2 drinks (it was not like this on our Italy trip 2 years ago) - our 2 night stay in Nice // our hotel room's AC was not working very well (luckily the front desk provided us a fan) -long delay getting checked into the hotel in Barcelona (probably b/c we had just entered that country from France) -tour did not include the Louvre, spent only 10-15 minutes near the Eiffel tower for a picture, only toured the exterior of La Sagrada Familia (we did Louvre on our own and skipped the Cabaret dinner) -spent a lot of time driving between cities (bring a good book!)

We really enjoyed it. The places we saw we beautiful and our tour guide was wonderful. (And our driver was great too) I also thought the local guides were great. Food was amazing.

The tour struck a perfect balance between relaxation and excitement. Our local guides were friendly, approachable, and highly organized. Both transportation and accommodation were satisfactory, and we felt well cared for throughout the journey. I’ll definitely keep Eskapas in mind for my future travels.

Our tour director was excellent and because of her I would do more TRAFALGAR tours. I loved the itinerary and the driver was exceptional. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

This itinerary covered almost all of the places I wanted to see in France. I couldn't find the right combination of places with any other tour group. Most of the accommodations were very nice and had good breakfasts, showers, hair dryers, etc. The tour director was excellent, the local specialists were great, and the coach driver was fantastic! The coach was very comfortable and the other tourists were very nice.

Roberto was an incredible guide. He wasn’t just a guide, but a fun adventure companion too. As a group, we were all really happy with him. The experiences in Madrid and Lisbon were fantastic. And the food! I loved it all. I’m already a bit overweight, and after this tour, I’ve decided to start a diet (for the 100th time). I highly recommend this tour to everyone. It was a blast!
