ALEXANDER • traveled in October
The route was frankly ridiculous, way to long ,the way I made it was by not doing gravel, but state roads,not what I wanted but the only way to get from hotel to hotel. Also I did climb the 1500meter mountain between France and Spain, it was a challenge and you mentioning age group to 90 years old is deceiving. But I had a challenging great time,just what I signed up for

This tour is jam-packed with constant activity! Our tour Guide/Host Craig was extremely knowledgeable and always had so much information to impart during our Orientation Walks of each city (but sometimes it was a bit too much information). This being my first trip to Europe, it was very eye opening to see the architecture, craftsmanship and beauty of the historic World Heritage Sites and learn of their origins. Each of the accommodations we stayed at had their own idiosyncrasies, one having only handheld showers but a great breakfast, another having some ants and a moldy smell (in my room) and several offering quite meager breakfasts (bread/toast with jam and a drink only. And, with the exception of one, I found all the mattresses very comfortable and it was always quiet at night. In the evenings, Craig arranged great (optional) places to eat and always interpreted/explained the items on the menu to us. As well, he was able to take those who were interested to a Flamenco Dance venue one night and to the Mushrooms of Setas de Seville and the oldest bar in Seville another.
