What people love about touring Southern Spain solo
It was a great tour as far as the itinerary was concerned with all the highlights of Andalusia covered. The main deficit was communication. For example there was no information regarding pick up from Hotel Praga so we took a taxi to the starting point! We also needed info about the norms surrounding tipping the local guides who were excellent. It would help if we had more structure on our free time with a handout on highlights and transport options especially in Granada. Inez was a pleasant and competent bilingual guide. Sometimes however, the noise within the mini bus made it difficult to catch everything she said.
Andalucia & Toledo, 5 days on Tuesdays

The buffet breakfasts were nice and when you're on your own for lunch and dinner the guide provided excellent local recommendations."

Single supplements range from 210-450 USD based on the tour type and hotel category.
