Tour guides were excellent. Hotels were excellent. Food could be better. Also, it really was a four day tour. The other three days in Madrid were really on your own except fot a three hour sightseeing tour. So one could save money by just doing a four day. More time needed at Cordoba.

Everything was good except lack of communication between local T/A and customer. On Dec 30 P.M. Panoramic tour of Madrid - time and location not advised.
On Jan 1 A.M. City tour of Seville. As we did not take the optional PM tour, we were left alone and either wait 4 hours or return hotel on our own.
