Mediterranean Coach / Bus Tour Reviews
- Croatia and the Balkans
Very good , thorough and leader very knowledgeable
- 18-Day Tour Portugal & Andalusia & Morocco
Good for the prize of the tour
- Balkan Delight
Balkans Delight Excellent tour and well paced. Food inclusions high standard. Accommodation very good apart from President Hotel Split which is totally sub-standard and should not be used by Trafalgar because it does not fit the criteria. Tour director knowledgeable but a bit too "full on." Driver first class. Would recommend this tour if President Hotel was replaced by more suitable accommodation.

Crossing times range from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the checkpoint and season.

Tour guides manage all necessary documentation though passengers need to keep passports easily accessible throughout the journey.
What is the best time of year to take a Mediterranean coach tour?
The Mediterranean coach tour season peaks from May to September during the warmest driest months. Summer temperatures from June to August often exceed 30°C/86°F along coastal areas. Spring and fall months (April-May and September-October) bring milder weather and smaller crowds. Split for example sees average highs of 25°C/77°F in May and September with more comfortable humidity levels. A TourRadar traveler notes: "Weather in all countries visited is similar in May - October period. Summer is warm but rainy with 8-9 hours of sunshine."
How do Mediterranean coach tours handle language differences across multiple countries?
Tours employ bilingual tour directors who speak English and Spanish with additional local expert guides in major cities. A TourRadar traveler reports: "Our guide Riad mastered the translation very well between English and Spanish ensuring no lack of information." Specialized guides lead tours at significant sites like the Alhambra Palace Cordoba's Mezquita and Morocco's ancient medinas. The staff also helps with communication at hotels such as NH Napoli in Naples or Sercotel Malaga handling check-ins and local recommendations.

Daily hotel breakfasts come standard on Mediterranean coach tours along with select dinners featuring regional cuisine. Tours often include special meals like tapas in Madrid seafood in Lisbon and traditional dishes in Fez.

Lunch stops are typically at leisure giving travelers the chance to explore local food scenes such as Barcelona's La Boqueria market or Seville's Triana neighborhood.
