Great guide and amazing food.The itinerary was covering all the places that we were expecting to see. Excellent experience on our first G adventure tour .
- 6-Day Andalucia & Toledo from Madrid
In overall was good experience. Will be a good idea to include at least water with all the meals and pre coordinate the checking in some hotels. Was a little bit of trouble with the checking process in some hotels. The tour guides were awesome. I will recommend it.

Nice tour with good hotels and lovely driver. Visited many sites and travelled in comfort

What type of accommodation can solo travelers expect?
You'll find well-appointed 3-4 star hotels in safe central neighborhoods. The Silken Al-Andalus Palace in Seville puts you close to main attractions with modern rooms and amenities.

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.
