Reviews of Small Group tours to Southern Spain
- Journeys: Discover Spain National Geographic Journeys
Lalo was fantastic!! He added so much to the trip. It would not have been as good as it was without him. He made us feel comfortable everywhere! He obtained local guides that were wonderful. THe accommodations were fine, except for the hotel in Madrid - Acta Medfor. In fact, I arrived a day early and paid for one day. Although I made my reservation two months early, they charged me 244 Euros for one night, which was outrageous as it was a much lower quality hotel. My buddy on the trip also did the same and she was only charged 130 euros. Can't figure it out but feel ripped-off. I should have stayed some place else but only stayed there for the convenience of joining the tour.
- Andalusia with Costa del Sol & Toledo
Marina was great and most of the city guides were passionate and entertaining! Room for improvement in terms of the choice of hotels in Sol and Granada though as well as the food of the hotel. Or maybe Melia Lebreros in Seville was such a great standard that the rest wasn't able to match it. Otherwise everything was great and learned a lot about the great cities in Andalucia! Can't wait to come back soon :)
What our customers ask about Southern Spain Small Group Tours
How far in advance should I book a small group tour to Southern Spain?
For optimal planning and availability a booking window of 6-8 months is recommended for Southern Spain small group tours. These tours typically accommodate 8-12 travelers and spots fill quickly especially during peak travel months from April to June and September to October. Select accommodations such as the Soho Boutique Sevilla and Luna de Granada are in high demand for small groups. According to a TourRadar traveler: "Book well ahead - these intimate tours with their boutique accommodations and special experiences tend to sell out fast particularly during festival seasons in Seville and Granada."
How does small group travel enhance the experience of visiting Southern Spain's historic sites?
Groups of 8-12 travelers benefit from streamlined entry and personalized guided tours at key landmarks including Granada's Alhambra Seville's Alcazar and Cordoba's Mezquita. The central location of hotels like the Macia Alfaros in Cordoba enables visits during quieter early morning or evening hours. A TourRadar traveler noted "With our small group we could actually hear our guide's fascinating stories about the Alhambra's history and ask questions without fighting through crowds."
What unique experiences are available on small group tours in Southern Spain?
Smaller tour groups can access distinctive local experiences throughout Southern Spain. These range from private flamenco instruction in Seville to family vineyard tastings in Jerez and special access to Granada's Alhambra Palace. Local experiences extend to olive oil production tours in Zahara de la Sierra and farm-to-table dining. Many hotels like Luna de Granada arrange cooking classes specifically for small groups. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "We thoroughly enjoyed getting up close with local culture and having time to really experience each place without being rushed in a big group."
What kind of accommodations can I expect on small group tours in Southern Spain?
Accommodations focus on character-rich boutique properties across Southern Spain. Notable examples include the 27-room Soho Boutique Sevilla with its traditional Andalusian architecture and the individually styled rooms at Hotel Casa Palacio Pilar del Toro in Granada. These smaller properties typically house 15-30 rooms allowing groups to stay together. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The hotels were carefully selected authentic properties that really added to the local experience much better than large chain hotels used by bigger groups."
What is the best way to travel between cities on small group tours in Southern Spain?
Transportation between major cities like Seville Granada and Cordoba typically uses dedicated minibuses sized for 8-12 travelers. This allows for stops at scenic white villages such as Grazalema. Some itineraries incorporate high-speed rail particularly for Madrid-Seville routes. Hotels like Luna de Granada and Silken Al Andalus offer convenient access to transportation. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Having our own minibus meant we could stop at fascinating places that large coaches couldn't access making the journeys between cities part of the adventure."
How much free time is typically included in small group tours of Southern Spain?
Daily schedules usually include 3-4 hours of independent exploration time. While guided tours of landmarks like Seville's Cathedral or the Alhambra occupy mornings afternoons often remain unstructured for personal interests. Properties like the Soho Boutique Palacio San Gabriel in Ronda serve as ideal bases for independent discovery. One TourRadar traveler shared: "The balance was perfect - structured time for learning about the sites but plenty of freedom to explore on our own or with new friends from the group."
