  The tour is OK with good hotels and good food at most of the stops. It would’ve been nice to have a little bit more information and less free time. I feel like the tour guide on the bus could’ve provided us with more information while we were traveling, however, because the tour was not just in English. It was also in Spanish, this created more complicated and made it difficult to sometimes understand.Show more

  The tour was led by their third party agency located in Spain. Recommended for English speaking tourist to go as the tour coordinator (not tour guide) speaks simple English only (perhaps depending on your luck). Communication on the daily itinerary- need to be timely and inform to all tour members. Some were not informed of the changes and they missed the bus ride back to hotels. The dissemination of information during the tour has to be done in a more proper way. Food - bad! 2 night of buffets - salad bar, soup and cold pastas / drumstick / fish fillets, 1 night - pumpkin soup, beef stew with potatoes. No alternative for vegetarian and non beef eaters despite declaring our dietary restrictions during booking. Hotel - below 3 stars standard. Was away from town in Seville. No water available in the room. No access to hot water during stay. South Spain is beautiful but won’t travel with this agency again.Show more

  After reading your attentive letter of complaint and having compiled all the necessary information for your reply, I would like to make the following remarks. First of all, I would like to offer you our sincere apologies for not having managed, in one way or another, to fully meet your expectations of your trip on this occasion and thank you for taking the valuable time to send us your constructive comments, for your interest and collaboration, since our intention is always to improve in the broadest sense of the word and by receiving comments like yours, we can know where we must act and carry out the appropriate corrective actions to prevent the image of our company is damaged, although in this case and without serving as a precedent, has been due to circumstances completely beyond our control. The hotels used in the circuit of reference, are hotels with a category granted and contrasted by the official and competent authorities of each country to that effect in each case. We are not the ones who give them their category. Some, but not all, are a little far from the center. This is due to the occupancy of hotel vacancies in each city on different dates. In our general conditions it is stipulated that hotel changes can be made as long as they are of the same characteristics. All the guides that make our tours, are professionals with extensive experience and have been working for our company for a long time and to date we have not received any complaint from any customer regarding their professional role or personal attitude towards customers. They are people who, because of their experience, knowledge and skills, are capable of handling a group with that number of people, their daily work demands it. We have asked for explanations to the guides themselves of all the facts that have occurred and we have to say that from VPT-Viajes Para Todos, we assure that all relevant and necessary measures will be taken for the proper functioning of our circuits so that the order within them is not altered in any case. We also have to say that each and every one of the actions that the guide performs within the circuit, all of them are always aimed at the comfort of the customers themselves and carried out for the proper functioning of the circuits themselves. The guides that make this circuit and specific visits, speak perfect English. All duly certified and checked before starting their work with VPT. We regret and apologize to our reference clients for all the inconveniences experienced during the tour. All the indications of the operation of the circuit itself are in our programs, guidelines that the guides indicate and also in each and every one of the hotels in the part of the lobby, have posters with the indications and activities to be carried out in the following days. We are sorry you did not like the tour, but in our opinion it is a high quality tour at a low cost.

  Pro: local guide’s bilingual skill and knowledges on history of each city. Driver. Good spacing for break/food on long drive. Hotel: 3.5/4 out of 5. Good clean hotel most case. Con: tour layout and inform customer on details of trip. Ie) Seville: for whole day stay in Seville tour started 9am end 11:30am? Tour wasn’t included cathedral which understandably but we weren’t inform that tickets wasn’t available same day (all sold out) if this was case tour company should’ve been inform customer in advance so they have option to buy the ticket in advance. Bus doesn’t equipped with USB charger for your phone. Make sure you carry portable battery chargerShow more

  Our trip from Madrid to Barcelona had quite a few gaps. Firstly, no detail itenrary regarding which hotels or no info of optional tours with prices was provided e.g. we were asked to pay cash for the castle tour about which we were totally clueless. We pay by card on travels & carry limited cash so this should have been informed. Secondly, the Bus was comfortable but did not have USB ports which is crucial for long travels. Thirdly, the last two days were a waste as we weren’t shown any highlights as such in Valencia except the Arts building structures where we could take pictures for few minutes and no highlights in Barcelona although we did have the time being our fifth day but the time management was absurd as we left Valencia 10am in the morning which was pretty late and reached Barcelona roughly 3pm and that was it. We paid for a tour service not a bus commute which we could have easily managed on our own too. Fourthly, they do not show you ANYTHING in Madrid or Barcelona except the commute to and from these locations. Now for the good part, our tour guide Andrea was nice and helpful. We got stuck at Nevada mall in Valencia, couldn’t find a cab nor the cab service was responding on call. We weren’t familiar with the tram and couldn’t experiment due to lack of time so we contacted Andrea via WhatsApp and she assisted accordingly. Our driver Miguel was also cordial and drove safely throughout. Our tour to Cordoba and Seville were main highlights which we did enjoy. If they tweak their plan a bit and fix the issues then this can be a much better tour.Show more

  A good short trip covering most of the famed attractions of Spain. Our guide, Abel Figueira, was great. Having to provide information simultaneously in Spanish and English was not such an easy task, but he handled it with apparent ease. He was very mindful of group dynamics and kept a close watch on all to make sure no one was left behind at any stops. Also, our driver, Pedro, was super. The hotels were all fine with good breakfast buffets. The highlight of the tour for me was an impromptu visit to Sacermonte Cuevas in Alhambra to see "freestyle" flamenco.Show more
