What people love about Spain Tours in December
- Andalucia & Toledo, 5 days on Tuesdays
The tour was great! We went to so many places and all were fantastic. I would love to return to every one of them and spend more time exploring their magic. Our guide (Esme) was fantastic!
- Spanish Delights, 7 days
My tour finish in Barcelona with no set destination/drop off specified on the itinerary so when I asked the tour leader while on route he indicated when made aware of my prebooked accommodation that it was nearby. This was not the case & the bus pulled into a service station off a busy freeway where we quickly needed to grab my luggage before the buss continued on its way. Fortunately there was a taxi there refueling that was kind enough to take me to my accommodation. Not a good end to an otherwise good tour.
- Discovery of Spain - 10 days
Overall, it was a great tour. We should have asked for English speaking only. My husband knows enough Spanish to know that we were not getting everything the Spanish speaking group was getting on the history and what we were passing along the way. The group was a little bigger than we were told it would be, but it seemed to work out okay. When we arrived at our first hotel there was nothing notifying us that the Tour Radar/Click Tours was being conducted by Mapa Tours. We figured that out on our own when places kept asking us what tour we were with, and no one recognized the name Tour Radar. We almost missed the illumination tour in Madrid. The premium package and upgraded hotels were completely worth the cost. We took the tour so we could visit our son in Seville and the tour group was great about including him in everything while we were there. Truck stop cafeteria meals were a little lacking in variety. We enjoyed the dinner at Poble Espanyol in Barcelona, but wish we arrived a little earlier in the day to enjoy the museum and atmosphere while the shops were open.
