  Organisation & communication were very poor. No one met me at the airport so I ended up taking a taxi to the hotel. The 2 ''emergency' phone number used were useless. No reply or entirely in Spanish. Tour Radar did not inform me that the tour was subcontracted to Mapa Tours & the local guide who hosted the evening events said I wasn't with Mapa - consequently they left without me. Once it was sorted, I had to taxi to get to the restaurant to meet my fellow travellers - none of whom spoke English. Very uncomfortable! I was the only English speaker on the tour for the first 2 days - no one spoke English except me & most of the commentary was in Spanish. I could go on & on....... The sights & local guides were excellent & the hotels were good, but I would not recommend this tour to anyone who does not speak Spanish.

  All items on the itinerary were covered, however, it was a large group of 53 people - 5 English speaking with the rest from South American - Spanish speaking. More time was spent on the South Americans & little time to English speaking. A lot of time was wasted each morning & evening going between two standards of accommodation and at points of interest with multi lingual local guides. There needs to be better communication from Click tours, so we know what brand name to look. There was no signage from Click tours anywhere & the joining hotel had never heard of Click tours! Signage at the airport was MAPA plus with no names & at the first hotel MAPA plus. If booking this trip, be aware that unless you pay for the premium package, you will be frustrated at all the wasted time. Also, each day we had different people joining & leaving the trip & for the first few days, no continuity of tour leader. Only 7 of the original 53 people were at the end but still 50 odd people checked into the last hotel.

  It was a great well organized trip. Our tour guides only wanted to speak spanish and it would have been nice to put all english speaking in one group.

  Why didn’t we see a tour of olive oil and olive farming and manufacturing? Your trip overall was good but eating at Highway truck stops was awful and so was the food. How difficult would it have been to make a reservation at a real restaurant within 15 minutes of the rest stop

  Positives: Really liked the itinerary! - Very nice, comfortable buses. - Enjoyed tours in English by local guides in Merida, Cordoba and Granada. - Hotels were either good or excellent. - Good organization. Everything was on schedule. Nobody got lost or forgotten. This is something I admire! Negatives: -Person meeting me at the airport did not have my name on her sign. I passed her about 20 times before asking other people holding signs to call the "emergency number" an hour later. - Hearing too much Spanish and competing for time in English from the tour guides. Ideally, people speaking different languages should be on different buses. Wish we spent an evening in Toledo. Overall we had a very good time. Thank you!

  Very heavily based in Spanish. Would be better to have more evenly split groups

  There was so much good about this tour. We loved the itinerary, the hotels were good and the guides were very knowledgeable, especially those at the historic spots. The guides on the bus gave information in both Spanish and English but at the sites we always had two groups so we could get the information in our language. We liked meeting the other people on the tour from many different countries. Spain has amazing history and culture and this tour to the south of Spain did a great job of taking us to the highlights in just one week!

  We have really enjoyed our trip. It was very well organised considering that tour guides have to communicated in spanish and english. We even learnt some spanish words which was fun. On some of main sites we have joined english speaking travelers from other tours , so these tours were communicated in english only. We met people from different countries which is always fun. Everything was well communicated and on time.
