What people love about touring Southern Spain solo
- Madrid and Andalusia (7 destinations)
The last hotel in Seville (the Yit) did not meet our expectations. We waited for the elevators for up to 20 minutes, being on the 13 floor walking the stairs with luggage is not much of an option. Eating breakfast was like a school yard fight, and the lighting in our hall way was flicking off every 20 seconds during our 20 minute wait for the elevator (maybe the can set their timers to 15 minutes) it was a potential safety hazard as the hallway was very dark till you triggered the motion detector. In general it was a good trip, a suggestion is to post the tour guides name in the prior evening as to avoid the morning confusion (exasperated by trying to get out of a hectic breakfast and moving luggage with inefficient elevators) The actual tour guides were both nice and knowledgeable, suggestions like the river park in Madrid and the restaurant suggestion’s in Seville really added to our experience.
Great tour. My husband and I had wonderful time.

- From Madrid to Barcelona
For my first tour. I really enjoyed the tour. Ofelia was our tour guide and she was with us the whole time if we needed anything. It was nice having someone there with us. We really enjoyed the places that were in the itinerary and the overall experience. I would highly recommend this tour. I felt the hotels at each location were good. I would recommend doing the flamenco shows. Con: The only thing that could have been better was the food, but all the activities and accommodations were great, which made up for it.
