Very good bus driver and tour guide
Iberian ExplorerWe signed up for an English tour and were put on an English/Spanish Tour. The whole bus was Spanish speaking people with only 4 of us English. Our first Tour Guide Alex was horrible. He totally forgot us 4 English speaking Customers. We had to beg and remind him constantly to give us info. When he did we got a very very watered down version. All the other Tour Guides were Great: Mohamed in Morocco and Felipe back in Spain. Alex actually put a Very bad taste in our mouths for Julia travel. The tour itself was Awesome and Most Amazing!
18-Day Tour Portugal & Andalusia & MoroccoThis was an excellent tour of Spain and amazingly run. Tour guides were friendly, informative and local, so the tours were that much more insightful. The stays were fantastic, with excellent service and location.
