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.

This was a very nice tour. If possible, opt for the four-star option. Some of the optional outings were probably not worth doing, like Seville by night and the boat tour. But the guides were very good and the main sights definitely worth seeing.

For the amount of time we had, it was very good. Of course a little more free time wouldn't hurt. But, with the time alloted, I feel like I saw a lot more than I would have on my own.

The logistics, hotels and timing of everything on the trip was just fine, but it was our main tour guide that was horrible. She was very rude, complained about us in Spanish to the driver -- not realizing that some of us on the bus spoke Spanish -- and treated many of the tour members like children. For example, when one of the members of the group sat down next to her at the hotel to ask her a question, she replied to him that she was not on duty and didn't have to talk to him. All of the individual tour guides at the sites were great, but she was absolutely unbearable.

The tourist guide is not doing a very good job introducing everything, 4 star hotel is terrible, it should be rated 3 star, but the breakfast at Seville is wonderful.

I was not very pleased with this tour. The tour guide spoke mostly in Italian, and then would wrap up briefly what she said in English. It was expensive. The included food at the hotel was unauthentic and horrible. There were too many times with no structure, and no itinerary, leaving someone traveling on their own in quite a predicament.
