What people love about Christmas & New Year Tours in Spain
- Spain & Portugal Christmas
The trip was fantastic! Good guide and driver. The people on the tour were fun! On the whole the experience was great.
- Andalusia & Mediterranean Coast with Barcelona
All in all it was quite good, comprehensive, and informative. Some of the hotels were not up to par with the rest of the tour. I had no hot water more than once, and the last hotel in Barcelona was the worst, no open restaurant for evening meal, and situated quite far from anything unless you took a bus or cab.
- From Madrid to Barcelona
Pepe the tour guide was great and the hotels were ok considering the price of the tour. The included tours were very good.
