Our trip to Spain was everything we had hoped for. It was a celebration of our time together. We enjoyed Madrid more than we thought we would having a great hotel, Catalonia Gran Via and 2 wonderful tours, Geza was perfect and the tapas tour was so much fun and delicious. Our day trip to Toledo went like clockwork. Manuel or Manny was one of our favorite tour guides. He made us feel like friends immediately and hugged us when he left us at maybe our best restaurants of the trip, La Cave. We loved all our train trips through out Spain. Seville made us feel like we were really in Spain. Carlos gave us a fabulous tapas tour introducing some new specialties. Carolina was maybe the sweetest tour guide. She was great. Our hotel, Sacristia de Santa Ana, was a great location but our least favorite of the trip. Granada was another even better than expected. Gabriela was a fabulous tour guide for the Alhambra. She could answer every question and you felt she really enjoyed her job. Equally impressive was Marta, our city tour guide, so delightful. Our hotel, Villa Oniria, was maybe the nicest hotel we have ever visited and certainly the best for this trip. Malaga was a bit like South Beach but had a wonderful food scene. Our hotel H10 Croma was very chic and perfectly located. Our day trip to Ronda went perfectly. Our driver was prompt and the ride was smooth. Ronda was what we expected but is overrun with tourists. Lenora was a very good tour guide and recommended probably our favorite tapas restaurant of the whole trip for lunch. Don’t have the name but was the oldest in town she said. Our ride to the airport was waiting when we checked out of the hotel. Loved our trip. Thank you all.

I think it could have been a language barrier since we did not speak Spanish so not sure it was any faults of the staff but we did not get anything extra here.

Ronda is a beautiful place and our guide was very good. It is overrun with tourists though. We enjoyed our time there, especially our lunch at a very old family run tapas restaurant.

So much fun as well as delicious. Our guide made sure we all felt included and was interested in getting to know us. The tour took place in a non touristy area so that was refreshing.

Probably our favorite tour of this trip. Gabriela was one of our favorite guides and the Alhambra was our favorite place we visited. Not having experienced Islamic culture before, this was an eye opening place. Beautiful gardens and architecture.
