Tour was good except for Hotels Granada and Valencia which were too far from the old City. Also these 2 hotels had the shower over the bath which is dangerous for most of us over 70’s. As it was a Premium Tour this is not good enough. Tour leader was very nice and did a good job but we would’ve liked some information about the areas ie weather population crops etc, especially on the long trips fr Granada to Valencia and Valencia to Barcelona. Also having to take our own luggage from bus to station in Seville onto train and from train to bus is not good enough for a premium tour.Show more

Hi Doris, thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We're glad you enjoyed the trip overall, but we're sorry to hear the hotel locations and facilities in Granada and Valencia did not meet your expectations. While these accommodations meet with our Premium trip standards, we appreciate that you felt there was room for improvement. We appreciate your kind words about your local leader and your suggestion for more information about the areas visited. We will be sure to share this with our local team so we may ensure our travellers are well-informed and comfortable throughout their journey. While we do outline in our Essential Trip information that there may be times you need to handle your own luggage, for example in airports and train stations, we apologize if this was not clearly communicated to you. Thank you once again for your feedback, we hope to welcome you on another journey where we can exceed your expectations.

This was a 13 day trip from Barcelona to Madrid. Taking off the 1st and last day plus the 4 half day tours we were basically on our own for 9 days. With a cost of over $7000 (CAD) this makes the trip poor value for the money spent. The company did little to make the tour leader familiar with the areas travelled through so while we were on the bus she could answer very few questions. I have travelled with Peregrine in the past and this was the first time we had so little guidance. The first evening we were presented with a new itinerary which did not include the options listed in the original itinerary. This will be my last trip with Peregrine.Show more
