What people love about Spain Tours in December
- Andalucia & Toledo, 5 days on Tuesdays
The tour seemed well organised. Excellent driver and comfortable coach. Our guide was o.k., but gave the impression of being rather tired. All the hotels were of excellent 4 star quality and very well located. The selection of food on offer at most of the hotels was excellent, especially the breakfasts. The group meals, with no choice offered, were very basic and uninspiring. The main disappointment was in Granada, where we were told we had an organised tour of the Alhambra. HOWEVER.... our tour was only of the gardens and we weren't able to see the main reason for being there...the Alhambra Palace! Our outside tour lasted for 2 hours 40 mins. in cold, wet weather. Far too long and very boring and tiring. When I asked him why we hadn't been taken to see the Palace itself, the guide told us that it was very difficult to get tickets these days. One has to book well in advance. But at no point were we warned if this situation. If we had been told when we booked the holiday, my friend and I would have booked our own entrance ticket to the Alhambra

I loved everything about this tour and would recommend to everyone. Unfortunately, the reason I only gave 4 stars is a big one. There was a person with a positive Covid test on the tour. She stayed in hotel one day, but the next day, she was allowed back on the bus! She was told to sit in back of bus, which is pretty ridiculous. That does absolutely nothing to prevent spread of Covid. She even refused to wear an N95 mask and that was okay. She wore a regular surgical mask and actually walked on bus one time with it pulled down to her chin. I felt bad for the tour guide on bus. He was put between a rock and a hard place. He made several phone calls about the issue and was told it was okay for her to get back on bus. Do better Tour Radar.
- Spanish Delights, 7 days
I expected the tour to be good because of the places we went to. But our guide was excellent. The Hotels and the meals provided on the tour exceeded my expectations. It was also nice because the people in our group were very nice and everyone was on time for departures.
