5-Day Spain Tour: Seville, Cordoba, Toledo, Ronda, Costa del Sol and Granada from Madrid
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Madrid, Spain
My Review: Tour was enjoyable and got us from point A to point B with a couple of tours along the way which were excellent with local guides. The Tour leader of our tour was having a little holiday herself. She was not very informative, nor forthcoming with answers to our questions. For example, tour had 2 hours in Rhonda to sight-see on our own. Not much information was given as to what to see and when asked if she could provide a map of the city she answered not her responsibility (who's then?)
She pointed me in the direction of the tourist information centre. However, she did not make mention of it prior to getting off the bus. Accommodations (4 star) and meals were only mediocre - in theory a great sounding tour, in reality not so great.

Madrid Small-Group Walking Tour including Royal Palace

My Rating: 
Location: Madrid, Spain
My Review: This tour was fabulous. We were lucky as it was only the 2 of us with our guide Isabella who is a history professor still teaching at university. She was a delight and we had a very informative history lesson along the way.

Location: Madrid, Spain
My Review: This was very worthwhile especially as it included the bus to and from Toledo. I think that in itself nearly paid for the pass.

San Sebastian and Biarritz
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Bilbao, Spain
My Review: This tour was excellent, but a little too jam packed. There was no free time other than 45 minutes to have lunch. It would have been nice to drop our first stop and have a little time on our own in Biarritz and San Sebastian.. No coffee nor toilet stops were offered and luch was very late - around 3. Then off to San Sebastian which was very rushed. Still very worthwhile and the scenery will not disappoint..
