Montserrat and Cava Trail Small Group Day Trip from Barcelona
Barcelona, Spain
My Rating

We were disappointed to start the day when the 8 people in our group were picked up in a regular 9 person van. It was definitely not the comfort expected for a full day tour. We were then surprised that the guide was on his cell phone booking a winery after the start of the tour and announced that the 3rd choice winery was the first one that he found availability and that we couldn't go there until 4:30 which extended our time in Montserrat where the funicular was closed and most of the museum--neither fact of which the guide was aware until we got there.
Montserrat is beautiful and the winery that we went to was great. The tour company is the problem.

Toledo Half-Day or Full-Day Trip from Madrid
Madrid, Spain
My Rating

Comprehensive tour of Toledo for such a short visit. We wouldn't have seen so much had we gone on our own. We could have done without the factory visit. Originally we hadn't signed up for the lunch but found that we were not being left in the center of town but rather had walked over a bridge to the outskirts where the bus was taking the group to lunch. They said that they would pick us up in an hour. Since it was a nasty day we went with the group and the lunch took much more than an hour. Lunch turned out nice and the whole day was good.

These buses are always a good way to orient oneself to a city. The winter hours were very short and the information given was limited.

This was a good overview of the city.
It was so much more helpful having a guide instead of a headset.
