I recently returned from my Discover Spain tour and it was an amazing experience. The booking process was smooth and seamless, and I had nothing but positive interactions with the team. The tour was incredibly well-organized and packed with activities that I likely would have missed if I had been traveling independently. From the beautiful architecture to the local culture, I was able to see and experience so much on this tour. Our tour guides were knowledgeable, friendly and always eager to help, they made the trip even more enjoyable. The tour hit all the highlights and even had some free time built in for us to explore on our own. I particularly enjoyed visiting Madrid and learning about its history and culture, as well as experiencing the lively atmosphere of Barcelona. The meals on the tour were also a highlight, they were delicious and varied. Overall, I had a fantastic time on this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to discover the beauty of Spain.
