    The tour was wonderful. Tour Director Tanya Chomos made our tour unforgettable by providing information and tips on things to do and see. The drivers were very professional. Spain is beautiful and the weather contributed to the success of our trip. We feel like we've really seen the most of Spain.

    Our guide Grant was truly exceptional . His knowledge and calm manner really enhanced our trip. Nothing was too much trouble (also impressed that he had walked the Camino and had run with the bulls in Pamplona and was able to bring personal experience to these moments). The trip was informative an we saw more than we could ever have seen on our own , but the highlights were the days we had more than one night stay and had more time on our own . The bus had wifi which was great. The special moments included - Cordoba Cathedral, The Alhambra, The aqueduct in Segovia, The free time in the Costa del Sol, The opera singing waiters in Madrid, Bilbao, Seville ...too many to recommend. I would have liked a bit more time in Barcelona and sometimes the included and optional dinners were ordinary. I was very impressed that beers & wine were included with most meals.

    My husband I had a great time. The tour was wonderful. The tour director Pedro Pinto and the drivers Fernando Ventura and Sergio were amazing. Spain is beautiful and the weather cooperated to make our trip a success. We feel that we actually saw a lot of Spain and is sure to return to continue to see the rest of the country.

    I’ve recently returned home to Australia after undertaking the above tour with Trafalgar. On reflection, and given the length of the tour, I am very happy to say that I have very positive memories of it. This tour covered a lot of ground, but we were in a very comfortable coach. As there were 24 clients in a 48 seater coach, we were able to spread out and weren’t at all cramped. In spite of the outside temperature nudging 40 C at times, the interior of the coach was always comfortable. An unexpected bonus was the wi-fi on the coach. Often the hotel rooms did not have a reliable reception, so one would wait until on the coach to transact business via wi-fi. The hotels themselves were well located and close to the activities of the area. All were of a satisfactory standard. The destinations were always interesting. The whole trip was brought to life by our Tour Director – Meagan Chandler. She had a very good knowledge of the areas we travelled through, and imparted her knowledge with very clear diction. Meagan is very personable, and was cool calm and collected throughout the tour. There were some “testing” moments that Meagan had to negotiate, but she did so with great aplomb. My comments to friends and family was that the trip was fantastic, and I’m strongly considering learning Spanish to prepare myself for a return visit!

    We had a great guide Meagan on our Best of Spain, nothing was too much trouble, she made us all feel comfortable and special. Meagan was very informative with the local history and her bubbly nature ensured we all had a fantastic holiday. Not forgetting David our trusty driver who ensured we were transported safely every day with a smile.

    We found Kassie to be a wonderful, kind and organised tour guide. She went above and beyond, with information and tips on things to do and see, and the little gifts we were given along the way and the dvd of our tour are a wonderful keepsake. We appreciated her professional approach and also her kindness.

    I was fortunate enough to experience the trip of a lifetime with Kassie on my recent Trafalgar Best of Spain tour. As if the itinerary wasn't impressive enough, we got to have Kassie who couldn't do enough for us all, making a group tour feel personal and individually tailored to each one of us. Some of the personal touches that Kassie provided for us, included our own Facebook group, allowing us to share pictures, information and generally keep in touch, and at the end of our tour, she presented us all with our own copy of a DVD she created of our trip. What a wonderful souvenir of our trip! I cannot recommend Kassie highly enough and would feel privileged to travel with her again in the future. Thank you Kassie!
