What our customers ask about this tour
The content in our FAQ section is subject to change.- L
Louise
Asked on July 2nd, 2022We're thinking about the 12 day tour from Paris to Madrid. However we would need to join up with you on day 6 or 7 because we can't start out in Paris with the rest of the group. Do you have availability and pricing for 2 adults to join this tour midway and complete days 7-12? So we would want to meet up with you in or near Arles to start, finishing in Madrid.
TrafalgarOperator•Written July 2022Please be advised that the cost of the tour is fixed even if you join on the 6th day.

The pricing for the Highlights of France and Barcelona with Madrid Extension is $4,650 per person double occupancy. Complimentary transfers are provided as per the tour dates, we would need your flight details to add these transfers onto the booking.
