The tour was great. The accommodation was also great. The only downside was the continual change of my tour director. I had one who took me to a Tapas dinner the first night. Then another the next day for the city tour which turned out to be a panoramic tour. The third day I had another guide and I was joined with a Spanish group. The fourth day I was transferred to another group and guide, this time they were from Australia and Canada. That group left us at Ronda and I continued with the same guide but now only two of us. When we arrived at Madrid that guide left and we had another guide to take us to the final dinner. The continual change doesn't allow for a bond to form with fellow travellers and gave me the feeling that I was just an extra or hindrance to be moved from pillar to post and not really part of a tour group. But having said that I still got to experience everything that was promised on the tour.Show more

We had a really good time on the 15 day Spain/Morocco tour (4 of us in our adult family). The hotels were very good, and the buffet breakfasts & 5 dinners were also good as they gave us the opportunity to eat what we each wanted. The buses were comfortable and the travel well planned out, no rushing around frantically. There were some walking tours that were not delivered as per the program, but this is mainly due to the local guides going a bit rogue and it is recommended to keep on top of them to ensure they know the program & stick to it. I raised this with the tour operator afterwards and to be fair to them they apologised and met my expectations to put it right. We went over the Xmas/NY period and it was very good weather and low tourist numbers, so I would recommend that too.Show more
