What people love about Barcelona to Madrid Tours
- Spain in Style (Small Group)
Wow, where do I even begin to describe the amazing experience we had on this tour ?! It was honestly a trip of a lifetime and I feel so grateful to have been able to take it. We started our journey in the beautiful city of Madrid, and from there we made our way through several other destinations in Spain. Our final stop was the stunning city of Barcelona, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Our tour guide was simply incredible. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about the culture and history of Spain, but he also made the trip so much fun. I learned so much from him and I will never forget the amazing experiences we had together. One of my favorite parts of the trip was visiting the Alhambra palace in Granada. The architecture and history of that place is just mind-blowing. We also had the chance to visit some of the beaches of the Costa del Sol, which was a highlight for sure. And of course, the food in Barcelona was absolutely delicious. I definetly want to go back someday and try more of the local dishes. I can't recommend this tour enough it truly was an unforgettable experience.

The bus tour surpassed my expectations.
- Green Spain From Barcelona
It was a good tour. There were many Spanish speaking tourists there but they accommodated well for the only 2 English speaking tourists, us. Alonso, our guide, was very easy to understand and very helpful. You do spend a lot of time traveling the 1st day, but the last 3 days gives you more time in the cities. This is more of a tour to go into a town for max 2.5 hours or less and take pictures/eat/etc. This is how most tours are though, and we are ok with that. It allows us to see more of the country. The dinners are a great addition to the tours. They give you full meals and allows you to get to know some of the other tourists. Overall, good experience for what we paid!
