The trip was a great experience, as we got to see the most important cities in Andalusia on a well-planned and comfortable schedule. The guided tours were very well explained, and we were given an extensive insight into the Moorish and medieval history of these beautiful places. We could never have managed it on our own! We highly recommend this tour.

Excellent travel experience. Four star hotels were first rate. Our tour guide was awesome. He was very professional and on top of things. He was organized and scheduled events well. It was one of the best tours I have taken in travel through Europe.

What can I say - Cordoba, Seville and Granada are simply amazing cities. Some of the finest architecture in Europe, I would argue. Plus the food, nightlife and overall atmosphere of these cities is simply amazing. This is a great trip.

We absolutely loved this tour. The coach was extremely comfortable, the guides, both our chief guide and local guide, were wonderful. They were so knowledgeable and passionate about their tours. The hotels were very well run and extremely clean. We didn't even have to put in for a wakeup call in the mornings; our guide made sure we would be up and about in time to catch the bus. There was ample time for a leisurely breakfast and just the right amount of free time in each of the cities. For the more ambitious traveler there are plenty of extra tours available. The food was great. We would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to feel the beauty, the history, and the glory of Spain.

My tour to Cordoba, Seville, Granada, and Toledo actually made my trip to Spain worthwhile. I had gone to Madrid for a conference and was bored. But this tour made my trip absolutely perfect!

A friend and I recently visited Lisbon and Spain, and we decided to take a tour in the middle of our trip to avoid the hassles of driving and arranging transportation and tickets to some of the sights. This tour was absolutely wonderful. We had a great guide, perfect accommodations, and just the right amount of time to see each of the sights. We would highly recommend this tour and will use Viator in the future for other excursions.

Our main guide was phenomenal. The other city guides were fantastic. The sites were exactly the ones I wanted to see. Hotels were great. Even the meals were surprisingly good. The extra side tours were worth it. Even the bus driver was great. My only suggestion was that I would forgo the lunch in Granada on the last day and just head back to Madrid. It made it too long of a day and wasn't necessary. Other than that splendid trip! Well worth it.

This was a wonderful tour. Everything we wanted and more. This is the time of year to travel - bus not very full, wonderful companions, great guide/escort, four star hotels great - food great, loved learning about the history of Spain. Would go again.

If you hate planning your trips, this tour is the way to go. City tours have to be done separately and are not included. Many parts of the tour were rushed and seem to be so because tour guides were hired on an hourly basis. If you like in-depth tours of historical sites, do not go on this tour. In some ways, I felt cheated, but overall I couldn't have done a better job with the logistics behind it all.

I am glad that the tour was not cancelled as my wife and I were the only participants in this tour. The tour was nice in general except of the change of the car and guide halfway between Granada and Toledo. The tour in Seville must include Alcazar and Cathedral which are the most important places there. The flamenco show in Granada was not interesting. It is better to have one optional show in Seville.

Cordoba, Seville and Granada were fantastic. The tour staff were professional and efficient and the tour guide knowledgeable. Local guides also made their tours interesting. However, the Granada leg was a bit hurried. Alhambra did not include a visit to the Alcasaba and the optional tour which was supposed to include monastery of the cartujas, royal chapel, cathedral and arab market was overpriced - the cathedral was simply pointed out to us and there wasn't sufficient time to browse in the arab market.

This was a well organized and relaxing tour. It got changed slightly and Toledo was added at the end, instead of the last half day in Granada. This was good as Toledo was interesting. Although the guides along the way spoke English, often the whole piece of information was done in Spanish first, then English. It should be broken up. But we had some Spanish knowledge, so that helped some. Other than that, it was an excellent program and we learned a lot about old Spain and its historic relevance.

This was a great trip. We saw a lot in such a short amount of time. Our tour guide, was wonderful. If you don't mind being with a big group and being shuffled from here to there, I would highly recommend it. We had some extra time in Seville, which was nice. We didn't see as much of Granada or Cordoba, so if you want to see a city in depth, it might be better to go on your own.

We didn't know what to expect in December, but were pleasantly surprised by the weather and wonderful people on the tour. Our guide had wonderful stories and was very nice, but was frequently difficult to hear. We were changed to a different tour, which was fine, but several things were not included. However, they added on a Toledo tour, which was the highlight of the trip. The local guide was awesome! The big problem was the food!! Really quite terrible in Seville. The restaurant was providing quality food to everyone else, but we received second rate food at best. Having said all of that, I still would recommend this tour.
