The whole trip was unbelievable. Well planned out and completed for the most part without any hiccups.
We had two excursions in Lagos but felt the second one that you planned was too similar to the first. We felt this should have been picked up by one of your staff and we could have ordered something different. The sunset tour which took place first, was quite uncomfortable for that long of a drive and we were advised a picnic was to be provided but we were given a full meal which was great. Our only problem with this tour is we were not advised of the length of time and we were not prepared with jackets or sweaters to be driving late at night - a note should be sent to people taking this to advise to bring something warm. The jeep was quite uncomfortable for the length of time as well. The second tour our guide Rue was very accommodating. We experienced a wonderful unplanned trip after he spoke with uas and it was decided that the previous days excursion was too similar. He took us to some wonderful areas in the region and showed so much passion for what he was showing us. We called it "Rue's Romantic Tour" He was awesome and
so was his boss for allowing him to do something different with us. Thank you - It truly was a trip to remember.

Hotel Review
Seda Club Granada
Granada

Absolutely stunning hotel - extremely comfortable and staff were exceptional. I would take one star off for a service which was provided for us. One thing negative it was the price of the laundry service - We received it back and it was still too damp to pack and compared to all other locations their prices were at least 3-4 times higher. That left a bad taste.

Authenticity & Character
It was just over the top. - who gets Dyson hair dryers at a hotel. Just extreme comfort.
Location
It was a beautiful hotel situated in a park area. Easy access to squares for restaurants and shops.
Staff
Very pleasant and accommodating.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Beds were lovely as were the towels. Ambience in room was top notch

Beautiful scenery - long drive. Not sure what happened but we had a driver who could not speak English. He tried very hard. Two drivers showed up and he was given us. Felt it should have been better organized. Not fair to him but he was unable to tell us about what we were seeing.

The experience was so so. I felt having to pay for everything to enter once there was ridiculous. Considering we paid for the tour. Montserrat was a bit of a bust for that reason but beautiful atmosphere. winery was ok

Over rated. Beautiful at the top. Long cab to get there, get in a jeep and go quite a distance uncomfortable Chilly at night should advise people to bring a jacket or sweater.
