What people love about Barcelona to Madrid Tours
- Spain in Style (Small Group)
My husband and I really enjoyed this trip!! The tour was excellent, and our guide, Juan was very knowledgeable and friendly. The drivers, Luis and Mateo, were also very helpful. The weather was lovely, and Spain's beauty left a lasting impression on us. We saw a good amount of the country and can't wait to come back to explore even more.
- Green Spain From Barcelona
It was a good tour. There were many Spanish speaking tourists there but they accommodated well for the only 2 English speaking tourists, us. Alonso, our guide, was very easy to understand and very helpful. You do spend a lot of time traveling the 1st day, but the last 3 days gives you more time in the cities. This is more of a tour to go into a town for max 2.5 hours or less and take pictures/eat/etc. This is how most tours are though, and we are ok with that. It allows us to see more of the country. The dinners are a great addition to the tours. They give you full meals and allows you to get to know some of the other tourists. Overall, good experience for what we paid!
- North of Spain & Lusitania from Barcelona
The 1st leg of our tour in Spain was OK. Our guide didn't keep us as prepared for the next day as Frederico, our guide in Portugal, did. He was Excellent. We were kept well-informed about weather and the schedule in detail by Frederico. As a general recommendation, you need to have buses with a restroom aboard. Overall, the tour was very good.
