    OMG Hassan our Tour Director was phenomenal on our trip. I had a problem with my CPAP sleeping machine and Hassan got me a replacement mask. I must've lost it in the previous hotel we were staying at. He made it so easy to get a different one. It was like I really didn't miss it at all. I also have a salt issue, and he made sure that all of the food at the optional dinners was salt free so my food was made especially for me. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable from the local tour guides to our bus driver David. All in all, just a great experience from the hotels, to the tours, to the suggestions about the trip. I can't speak more highly of globus, and the tour director. Hassan needs a raise!

All questions
  • J

    Jeremy

    Asked on September 27th, 2024

    We would like to have a tour in Granada with either one-way from Zaragoza to Granada or vice versa or a round trip. We do not need a tour guide in Zaragoza - which is just a final destination or pick-up point (for a one-way trip). If that is what you could offer, that would be great. We want to travel in late October. We are looking for the lowest price guarantee.

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • GlobusOperatorWritten October 2024

      Our tours are based on scheduled dates and set itineraries. Unfortunately, if it not mentioned on our itinerary, then we would not be able offer it from Zaragoza to Granada. You may wish to make own arrangements prior to arriving in Madrid to travel to Zaragoza. Please note for this particular tour, last day is in early October, as our Europe main season is from April/May to September/early October. We do provide our winter tours called Globus Escapes for travel from mid-late October to March.

    Asked on September 24th, 2023

    Will we get to see Flamenco dancing in Saville? Not clear on the itinerary if we will see a show.

    Tour Details
    • GlobusOperatorWritten September 2023

      We appreciate you sharing your travel plans with us and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. I am not showing this tour will include the Flamengo Dance in Seville, not to say it will not include the Flamengo Dance. This may be one of the optional excursions. Once the tour has been booked, a list of optional excursions will be sent out to you 60 days prior to departure.

    Nathan

    Asked on December 29th, 2022

    Can you please advise if it is possible to end the trip in Madrid? If yes will it be an extra charge?

    Tour Details
    • GlobusOperatorWritten December 2022

      We are not able to end the tour anywhere but the stated end city. We are not able to alter the tour's itinerary.

  • L

    Lee

    Asked on March 1st, 2017

    What is the age range?

    Age Range
    • GlobusOperatorWritten March 2017

      The age range for this tour is 8 - 80 years only. This means that children under 8 are unable to participate in this tour, and those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. We find that those aged 35-60 tend to make up the majority of the guests on this tour.

      There is, however, no strict upper age limit providing that passengers are comfortable with the itinerary. Globus ask that passengers provide details of any medical conditions they may have prior to departure, and have travel insurance cover.

  • D

    Dana

    Asked on January 1st, 2017

    I'm a solo traveller, is there a single supplement?

    Single supplement
    • GlobusOperatorWritten January 2017

      If you are travelling alone on this tour, a mandatory single supplement will be added to the tour price. You can see the additional surcharge on the 'Book Now' page.

  • J

    Jordan

    Asked on December 1st, 2016

    How active is this tour?

    Other
    • GlobusOperatorWritten December 2016

      This trip is not an overly active trip, however, passengers should be prepared for daily walking of up to two hours, involving stairs, cobblestones and uneven surfaces. Some historic city centres are more accessible on foot so the motorcoach will need to drop you off a little way from the entrances to hotels and attractions. Comfortable, sturdy, tried-and-tested walking shoes with rubber soles are recommended for daily sightseeing.

  • J

    Jade

    Asked on November 1st, 2016

    Is there a restroom on the motor coach?

    Other
    • GlobusOperatorWritten November 2016

      Most of the coach tours in Europe, including the ones in Spain, are operated in comfortable coaches that in most cases include a restroom - especially the ones that are used for long distances. However, there can be some changes or alterations and it can happen that the coach does not have a guaranteed restroom. The coach will make frequent restroom stops every 2 - 3 hours. Most of the time travellers prefer to use the restrooms at stops than the one on the coach.

  • K

    Kathy

    Asked on October 1st, 2016

    Does this tour have a guide?

    Other
    • GlobusOperatorWritten October 2016

      This tour includes a guide for the whole tour starting in Madrid and ending in Barcelona.
