Everything went smoothly, from the pickup of the rental car to the check-in at the respective hotels. All hotel rooms were clean and comfortable. Overall, a very positive experience and a wonderful vacation. We would have liked a little more info material (eg car travel maps) , or the possibility to book certain excursions (Alhambra, etc.) already through the app. But these are minor things, we thank you for the perfect organization of our vacation.Show more

Excellent choice of hotels, hire car was spacious and new. Friendly staff replied to my (many) questions in a friendly and helpful manner. Granada and Seville are truly amazing places to visit and so is Cordoba but 2 days in the both the former locations and 1 day in Cordoba was the perfect combination with a beach 1/2 day at Torremolinos at the start and the end to relax. Will use you guys again !Show more

Hotels were excellent, however after all our travels this was the first time we were charged in hotel parking! To be charged per hour was exorbitant! The car was good, roads good, Spain good. It only cost us two extra days in hotels due to time slots. We found the language barrier a bit daunting and had quite a few misfortunes due to this! Some people were extremely friendly and forthcoming and yet some downright rude and unhelpful, mostly main bus and train stations! .Show more

We hope to see you again soon on our page and that you do not lose your desire to continue traveling. Thank you very much for booking your holidays with us. Best regards!!
