    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.
