    Asked on July 29th, 2024

    Can we end the tour in Barcelona and if yes, will it be cheaper?

    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten July 2024

      Since these tours are sold as a package we are unable to adjust the pricing. You are more than welcome to sign off early in Barcelona but you would forfeit the days in Madrid.
