What people love about River Cruise Tours in Spain
- Andalusia: Tradition, Gastronomy and Flamenco (port-to-port cruise)
Everything was perfect until we had Louis as d guide. He just explained everything in French while inside d bus n completely ignored us, the only English speaking couple in d group. I could understand that he needs to impress the majority hoping he will get more tip compared to d amount of tip from just 1 English speaking couple.
- Andalusia: Tradition, Gastronomy and Flamenco
Staff was outstanding, especially Anna. The food was excellent. The captain was great. We liked the second officer. The day trips were interesting. We appreciated the always available bubbly water.
- Enchanting landscapes and cultures in Spain and Portugal (port-to-port cruise)
The tours were very good. The meals and service was also very good. The cabins were a bit small. Limited closet space. The all day tour to Granada the day before disembarking was not well planned. Early departure, late return, late dInner.
