    Reply from: Europamundo
    Greetings from Europamundo Vacations, Spain In reference to your message about the booking EM022657, we would like to inform you that Hotel Praga is one of the hotels of our tour and we usually don´t receive complain about this hotel. This hotel has a very good rating at one of the very famous website among tourists with rating 8 out of 10. Apart, during the stay in Madrid you haven´t mentioned anything to the guide. We checked with our guide and as per him , Mr. Sutaria was referring the stop made in Caceres and our guide informed the meeting place and time several times before leaving the group but it seems there was some kind of misunderstanding. Entire group reached on time except Mr. Sutaria and guide went to find him and he replied that the restaurant delayed in serving the food. There are number of services reserved for this closed, the delay of a passenger can be very problematic for the proper development of the trip. So, part of the job of our guides (sometimes a bit ungrateful) the enforcement of these time- tables. The goal of the tours is to get to know a lot of places, it is not a journey for stay but to collect experiences. From Madrid to Lisbon rain predictions were announced for the following days. It was advised that they had to be equipped with the necessary, umbrella, raincoat and rain boots. The forecast was rain every day and in more than one occasion during scheduled activities but fortunately when they had to start the city tour in Oporto rain stopped because firstly he took them to hotel to leave the bags and eat at the Shopping Centre attached to the hotel and then return to the centre and start the visit. We again request you to understand that there are a number of services reserved for this closed schedule. Regarding the last hotel , it was assigned from day 14/10 before starting the tour as you can check in the below image and this information was available in MY TRIP link You can also go to the link of MY TRYP AND fill the questionnaire in there, http://www.europamundo-online.com/miViaje/EM022657/DESTINOSRADAR/ Best regards Wendy from Europamundo
