Doing what: Cadiz Shore Excursion: Small-Group Walking Tour with Flamenco Show and Andalusian Lunch
What a great day. Our guide, Monserrat, was passionate and enthusiastic about her home city of Cadiz. She met us at the port gate and was bang on time. We had a lovely walk around Cadiz and saw things that you probably see with a larger group of people (there were only 2 of us). She was very knowledgable about the history and architecture of Cadiz and was excellent at pointing out explaining items as we walked aroung the city.
All in all a great day out and many thanks to Monserrat and her boss Oliver.

Doing what: Cadiz Shore Excursion: Small-Group Walking Tour with Flamenco Show and Andalusian Lunch
We were treated to a very personal interesting and informative tour. Tour Guide met us promptly from the ship and tour guide Monserrat was lively bubbly and great value. Lunch and the show with Oliver was also very pleasurable . Food was great and variety on Tapas menu was awesome. We were disappointed that the Flamenco show singer was not in traditional costume to add to the experience but all in all great value for money.

Doing what: 5-Day Morocco Tour: Casablanca, Marrakech, Meknes, Fez and Rabat
Overall a good trip. Need to have a guide in morocco who can speak fluent english. Also, casablanca can probably be eliminated from the itinerary because there is hardly anything worth seeing in that city.

Doing what: Gibraltar Shopping Tour
The pros - Gibraltar is lovely, excellent for duty free and worth a visit.
The cons - The bus took 3 1/2 hours to get there from Torremolinos by the time we had made all the pick up stops, so we got to Gibraltar at midday and we had to be back on the coach at 4pm. Booking it as the shopping tour, you basically just get the bus fare included and that's it. We were dropped at the bus station but not given any map or directions of where to walk to the town, which is a 10 minute walk each way to the square. We just about had time to do the cable car ride up to the rock, lunch and a quick look around the shops, which actually closed at 3pm on a Saturday.
Summary: Whilst we had an enjoyable afternoon, it was a rush in the 4 hours we had there. More information would have been appreciated.
Tips: Do not go on a Saturday as the shops close at 3pm. Get a map from the tourist office for free rather than paying £1 out of the machines. If you are not an independent type of traveller, book this trip with the rock tour etc included. Finally if you want more than 4 hours in Gibraltar, consider other options.

Doing what: Ronda and Tajo Gorge Day Trip from the Costa del Sol
Relatively short trip with just one pick-up of other tourists (in downtown Marbella).
Lovely day and town. My favorite of the four Viator tours I took.

Doing what: Ronda and Tajo Gorge Day Trip from the Costa del Sol
We enjoyed our trip to Ronda but being on a tour where the guide had to explain everything in four languages took away our concentration . Our guide's main topic was how many rich people live in Marbella.
To be honest we did not enjoy our guide.

Our tour guide and driver were very pleasant and our local guides were very informative. We enjoyed the sights that we saw, particularly the medina at Fez and Marakesh. There was a lot of time spent in the bus and I would be inclined to alt the itinerary and leave Casablanca off the tour.

Good tour, Just spent too much time picking up other for the tour. The bullring tour was great and Ronda is a site you should see.

Our guide Damian was friendly and informative. Ronda is a beautiful Spanish city with much to see and do. Worth the tour!

Doing what: Ronda and Tajo Gorge Day Trip from the Costa del Sol
Lovely place to go and would recommend the trip. Presumably because it was November we started from Fuengirola and were then dropped off in Marbella (which we had been to the previous day) for 40 minutes whilst the coach picked up in that area. I was not expecting that but the trip up to Ronda was beautiful. Our guide had a bad throat and it was not always easy to hear what she was saying. There a plenty of places to have lunch in the town of Ronda. Overall I am glad we did this tour.

Doing what: 5-Day Morocco Tour: Casablanca, Marrakech, Meknes, Fez and Rabat
Overall I am pleased to have taken the trip .... but will never do it again. The four star hotel in Casablanca is quite bad ... the one in Rabat is excellent, the one in Fez adequate but lacking. The biggest problem centers around the size of our group, and the lack of free time. We had a bus load of 48 and that is toooooo large ... for good communication with the tour guides .... we were a group of about 8 English speaking tourists mixed with 40 Spanish tourists. Our two local guides provided in Marakesh and Fez were both excellent .... and our group small enough to enjoy a good discusson. However on the bus things were different .Kareem was often rambling and switching languages so often thus making the story confusing. There was no explanantion of what the farming communities were doing along the drive (looked interesting ... crops. tools. seasons etc) and there was no advanced print out of what we were going to see and do .... thus it was difficult to prepare ahead of time. I never again want to be part of 48 people trying to match times and desires. The rest room near Meknes was absolutely filthy, whereas the other stops along the highways were excellent. Every one wanted more individual free time. We went twice to the two high lites of Rabat ... the Palace and religious site ... once was enough.

The five day Moroccan tour met our expectations - value for money, however attention to the following would provide improvements:
1. The pick-up times were over an hour late and contact with the Madrid was useless - it would be better to provide a contact number for the tour leader.
2. Having two levels of accommodation (3 and 4 start) provided logistic problems - only offer 4 star hotels.

I was not given an itinerary before the trip. The hotels we stayed were not quite 4*. The price of trip was affordable. The English of the tour guide wasn't good. There was a general intention to bring us to shops to buy things.
The trip is definitely worth going and better if more informative.
