It was a good experience overall. Lots of beautiful Arab palaces to visit. The food could be better.

The itinerary was terrific. On the side trip to Gibraltar we had a wonderful tour guide. Local tour guides in the cities we visited were good, but the main travel tour guide was not helpful, accurate, or very polite.

This tour was worth doing because it covered some very important areas. Like all tours, it was sometimes a bit rushed, and one would have liked more time. The choice of sites to visit was excellent. The bus was OK, but it lacked a toilet. However, it did make sufficient numbers of stops to meet our needs. It was also driven by a careful driver, and one felt safe. At each major stop, a local guide took over, and most were knowledgeable. Our main guide was helpful and really took care of us. On several occasions, she went out of her way to take care of my husband and myself and, in general, she was always courteous and friendly. There was only one guide on our last afternoon in Toledo who was arrogant and even rude. Luckily, she was only with us for a few hours.

The hotels on the tour were all excellent. We choose the 4 star option and were pleased with all the hotels. The quality of the food varied sometimes it was quite good, other times not. Some other members on our tour were in three star hotels which they found comfortable but not exceptional. If your budget can take it, choose the 4 star option. All told, I felt we received very good value for the money spent on this tour.

Our tour was transferred to from the original company to another. We were well notified but never received a new itinerary. My main complaint about the tour was the food. If the food cannot be improved, they should just not include it in the tour.

Our itinerary was changed a few weeks before we arrived with Merida replacing Cordoba. This was OK except the sites scheduled for Merida were actually closed. This turned out a bonus as we saw the Roman bridge and other stuff in town, including a stork nesting in the town plaza. There is an overnight stop on the Costa del Sol to allow some people to go on to Morroco and for others who had been in Morroco to join us. This understandable from a tour operators point of view but the Costa del Sol has nothing to offer other than overnight accommodation. So we could have used our time better staying longer at Ronda or including another site on the itinerary. The tour was good in that it gave us a trouble free few days overview of Spain and we also had some spare time. The hotels and food were good, though the Costa del Sol was pretty average and the coffee at breakfast was undrinkable. This is in Spain were the coffee is usually superb. In fact any hotel in Spain which is thinking of installing a dispensing machine for self service coffee should think again!

It was a lovely tour, nice people, comfortable bus. Everything was very professionally done, and all the guides were very well informed and quite passionate about the history. I had 3-star accommodations, and the rooms were clean and appropriate, and some were even 4-star. I will always have very good memories about the whole trip.

A lot of stuff was packed into the 5 days. The food was not great, but largely decent. The tour guide was very professional. The tour bus was clean and comfortable. I was disappointed that Viator brokered the tour out to another provider. The 4-star hotel in Sevilla was terrible. I wouldn't give it 2 stars, and I would not book another tour that includes that hotel. And the 4-star hotel in Granada did not have a pool, while the 3-star hotel did. The tour bus driver was decidedly unfriendly, refusing even to say hello when spoken to.

The tour was good. Hotel standards were variable, considering we chose the 4-star option. Food at the hotels was very variable. It would be good to have an option which allows you NOT to eat at the hotels.

The tour was great. I learnt and saw alot. You are given a lot of free time to do your own thing. The food was all organised and it was exceptional. However it would have been nice to have dinner at an authentic Spanish restaurant one night considering we were in Spain. Also I did not like the fact there was no-one my age on the tour which meant that I spent most of the nights by myself. Finally, the tour guide did not make much effort on the tour. She spent very little time providing us with information about the places we were going and where the best places to see were during free time. The whole time she didn't really seem to care about us on the tour.

Very good trip! Tour guide was professional, though the trip was all of 2 or 3 people most of the time.

Our tour guide was great! We were a slow group - very laid-back and nonchalant, and our guide possessed the wherewithal to tolerate our meanderings. If you want to get a taste of the south of Spain, take this tour. We can't complain about the hotels as we were upgraded twice to four-stars even though we paid the three-star price. Ronda is amazing; see the museum that has the torture exhibit from the Inquisition. It's a great place. Torremolinos is pretty, but make sure you have euros; there was nowhere to use my credit card. Each stop had its highlights, and what you basically get is the appetizer menu: you will want to go back and further explore those places that you are not afforded ample time to see. Good trip!

Excellent trip I feel it should have been 6days with an extra day in Costa Del Sol. I would have rated 4 stars but the hotel food was not great, very limited vegetarian options unless fruit for dinner is condiered an option.

The tour has a good itinirary and is well organised.
In our group we had to have explanations in English, Spanish and Italian, which become very cumbersome.
The bus seats are too near to each other, very cramped.
