What people love about Coach / Bus Tours in Southern Spain
- The Best of Spain
The trip was very pleasurable
- An Andalusian Story (without Alhambra, 9 destinations)
Trip overall was good. But we had bus problems on our trip twice. Because of the bus issue we missed out on some performance at flamingo dance event and the next day we had to rush at our next two destinations as the bus broke down again and had to wait for about 2 hrs to get another bus to complete the trip. I was hoping that Europamundo should compensate for this two issues.

Great tour all around! Highly recommend it!
