- Andalucia & Toledo from Barcelona
This has been a dream of mine for years to go to Spain. I booked this tour for my daughter & I. From the moment we were picked up we felt so comfortable and at home. Our tour guides are kind, caring and have a wealth of knowledge of all the towns we visited. Ourvbus drivers were excellent, we always felt safe. The hotels we stayed in were lovely except for the one in Granada, it was old & needed renovating. We laughed a lot and really enjoyed out time. This tour was excellent and much more than I had expected. I definitely recommend this company. Money well worth spent. The towns we visited are spectacular. We arrived one day earlier to see Barcelona as this was not included in the tour. Our meals were lovely. We had enough free time to explore each town we visited. We have enjoyed our time and would like to thank Beatriz in the office who promptly replied to all my messages. Thankyou to Maria, Quadalupe & Miguel our beautiful guides and our bus drivers Davide, &Miguel who made us feel safe & comfortable. We were able to charge our phones on the bus and had free WiFi. Love, love, loved this tour & the sights we saw. Thankyou!! We'll be back
