We truly value their efforts, as they are an asset to our company. We appreciate your comment about the Optional Experiences we offer.

While you are out exploring, our Coach Drive will take care of your luggage and deliver it to your hotel room. We have taken note of your comment about reimbursement. We recommend contacting our Guest Relations Department at globalguestrelations@ttc.com with your booking information. They will investigate the matter and provide you with feedback. Thank you.

    Thank you for sharing feedback about your time on the Highlights of Spain and Portugal guided holiday, as this first-hand insight is very important to us. While we are pleased to read that you enjoyed your trip overall, it does, however, concern us to hear that there were certain aspects of your trip that you felt could have been improved upon. We certainly understand the disappointment in not being able to visit the Alhambra Palace. It is important to note how difficult at times it can be to obtain tickets for the Alhambra Palace. It sells a maximum of 8000 tickets a day, as per UNESCO rules. From that amount of tickets, only certain amounts are allowed to be sold to groups and agencies, and the rest need to be sold to individuals. We do request our tickets in advance, however as our group sizes can vary in size if we request more tickets than are needed, the Alhambra Association can and will decide to give us none, at all. Please note, that 80% of the time we do secure tickets for our groups, however unfortunately in this groups’ case, it was one of the off times when we were unable to secure tickets. When tickets are not able to be obtained, we do substitute the visit with another popular attraction. Still, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. With that said, we remain hopeful that your time away with us was otherwise uplifting and for the chance to restore your full trust in Trafalgar in the future.

We love creating experiences that our guests will treasure, and no one does this as well as our dedicated Travel Directors. Therefore, we are delighted that Kassie's enthusiasm left you with a memorable vacation full of joy and laughter.

      In what hotel in Madrid will we be staying before the after the tour?

    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten August 2022

      For this specific itinerary, breakfast (and sometimes luggage) is approximately around 6:30am - 7:30am. Then departing the hotel is approximately any time between 8am-8:30am. The stop in Fatima would be approximately for about 1hour 30 mins roughly. There is a very small and compact restroom on the motor coach that can be used for emergencies. We schedule in comfort stops to allow our guests to stretch their legs / walk around briefly, purchase some sundries / bottles drinks if available, or use the restrooms at the comfort stops.

    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten August 2022

      The hotel in Madrid that is currently listed for the start day on 06-Nov-2022 through the 07-Nov-2022 would be at the Ayre Gran Hotel Colon Madrid. The hotel in Madrid that is currently listed for the last couple of days before the trip ends from 16-Nov-2022 through the 18-Nov-2022 would be at the Rafaelhoteles Atocha.
