What people love about Spain Tours from Madrid
My trip to Spain which I booked through TourRadar was Wonderful. The tour was definitely as advertised, The bus was comfortable and had Wi-Fi. The people on my tour were great. I was traveling alone, and they were friendly and kind. I met a lot of wonderful people. We did see all of the highlights of all of the magnificent cities on our tour. The hotels were for the most part very nice, definitely four-star. A couple in the smaller towns were just ok. Our driver, Jaime was very efficient and friendly. By far and away the absolute best part of my trip was my tour guide, Carmen. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Her English was excellent. She knew so much about everywhere we went. No matter what came up, Carmen was unflappable. She knew what to do in every circumstance. I also felt as if there was nothing that she wouldn't do for her tour members. In fact, when a bike race closed the streets in Madrid and our tour bus could not make it back to our final destination hotel, she took the last three of us on the Metro in Madrid and literally carried my bag down the Metro steps and paid my fare to make sure that I got where I needed to be. (She was even kind enough to overlook the fact that I reacted like a toddler at the inconvenience.) In short, my trip was wonderful! I would book with TourRadar/DestinationServicesSpain/Julia again! Gracias Carmen!
Andalusia & Mediterranean Coast with Barcelona
- Andalucia & Toledo, 6 days
In overall was good experience. Will be a good idea to include at least water with all the meals and pre coordinate the checking in some hotels. Was a little bit of trouble with the checking process in some hotels. The tour guides were awesome. I will recommend it.
- Discovery of Spain - 10 days
We enjoyed meeting the people; however, at times, there were 20-25 more people than the 40 promised. This made transportation, translations, movement much more difficult. We were under the impression the tour would be in English although the tour guides were personable, polite, and knowledgeable, their translations in English were difficult to hear due to the vast majority non English speakers’ conversations, the 6 of us English speaking participants could rarely hear the guide’s translations. The worst part of the tour were the lunches at the truck stops, yuck! We so much enjoyed the sights, the guides, and the many new friends we made.
