  As a seasoned traveller, this has been by far the worst tour that I have ever taken, not due to the locations visited, but by the tour guide and the logistics side of the tour. 1) On most tours I have taken, the guide periodically tells you about various locations along the ride, that did not happen. Instead, she (Karina) and the bus driver (we were not given his name) spoke together most of the time. Several of us English speakers would ask her questions along the ride about what we were seeing because we had never been to Spain and received responses that made no sense because she clearly didnt understand English or was simply unfamiliar with the region. In addition, the bus driver knew little English, which was fine, but he would make gestures to me (and maybe others) while getting on the bus. On one occasion, he did something and then said something in Spanish which I didnt catch so I asked him to repeat the Spanish. I went back to my phone and typed the phrase into Google translate and it meant "I'm f%$@king you". I sat in disbelief and was extremely uncomfotable after that. In my head I took it that he meant that he was trying to joke around, but I really wasnt sure - it just felt creepy. 2) Each stop that was made for bathroom breaks or lunch when moving from city to city were taken at gas stations along the highway. While this is fine for toilette breaks, it would have been much nicer to enjoy lunch in a smaller town or driving the extra 45 minutes to an hour and be presented with extra time in the location visited to have lunch there. 3) The hotels were just ok but the biggest part of that was the logistics. Most were away from the city center or historical areas which meant you walked a great deal or took Ubers or taxis. For example, our hotel in Barcelona was at the airport - a 30 minute ride at minimum by taxi or Uber. We were given a "free day" there which meant booking my own excursions which was fine, however since we were so far out, I racked ip an additional $200 + (USD) in UBER ride expenses over a 24 hour period (that was for 5 rides just to get back and forth to the excursions, which was an unexpected expense). I am a solo traveller and when I asked the front desk how to get to the Sagrada familia for example, they said "you can take a taxi or UBER as there are no trains to the city center." While the sites that we visited in each city were fantastic and the local guides did a great job, the rest of the tour was mediocre at best and quite disapointing considering the cost at $2100 USD. Look elsewhere if you can as I feel you will do better. The only reason I booked this particular tour was because the dates aligned with my travel time needs. Truly a disappointing experience.Show more

  Our guide, Ariana was excellent. She was skilled at handling the demands of the guests and keeping the trip on schedule.
