El Escorial Monastery and the Valley of the Fallen from Madrid
Madrid, Spain
My Rating

Our tour was conducted both in Spanish and English. More information were given in Spanish and we felt we were short changed. But the monastery and the Valley of the Fallen is well worth the visit. It was run by the big local operation Julia Travel. Everything is on time and without problem.

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

We signed up for the full day Toledo tour with upgraded lunch. Our guide was excellent and she spent equal time with both groups even though the tour is conducted in Spanish and English. Lunch was good but it is a better use of time to stay and walk around or explore the shops in Toledo since the bus have to come back to pick up those we did not sign up for lunch. The shop that the tour company dropped us off after lunch was not good because they offer very limited selections. We regret we did not spend more time exploring Toledo and missed our opportunities to buy some unique souvenirs available only in town.

My Rating

Our guide was boring. We only drive around the city. Not one single stop to get out to take pictures. It is impossible to get a good look of the sites and buildings from the bus window. It was a total waste of time.
