    OMG Hassan our Tour Director was phenomenal on our trip. I had a problem with my CPAP sleeping machine and Hassan got me a replacement mask. I must've lost it in the previous hotel we were staying at. He made it so easy to get a different one. It was like I really didn't miss it at all. I also have a salt issue, and he made sure that all of the food at the optional dinners was salt free so my food was made especially for me. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable from the local tour guides to our bus driver David. All in all, just a great experience from the hotels, to the tours, to the suggestions about the trip. I can't speak more highly of globus, and the tour director. Hassan needs a raise!

What our customers ask about this tour

    The content in our FAQ section is subject to change.
    • What is the age range?

      The age range for this tour is 8 - 80 years only. This means that children under 8 are unable to participate in this tour, and those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. We find that those aged 35-60 tend to make up the majority of the guests on this tour.

      There is, however, no strict upper age limit providing that passengers are comfortable with the itinerary. Globus ask that passengers provide details of any medical conditions they may have prior to departure, and have travel insurance cover.

    • I'm a solo traveller, is there a single supplement?

      If you are travelling alone on this tour, a mandatory single supplement will be added to the tour price. You can see the additional surcharge on the 'Book Now' page.

    • How active is this tour?

      This trip is not an overly active trip, however, passengers should be prepared for daily walking of up to two hours, involving stairs, cobblestones and uneven surfaces. Some historic city centres are more accessible on foot so the motorcoach will need to drop you off a little way from the entrances to hotels and attractions. Comfortable, sturdy, tried-and-tested walking shoes with rubber soles are recommended for daily sightseeing.

    • Is there a restroom on the motor coach?

      Most of the coach tours in Europe, including the ones in Spain, are operated in comfortable coaches that in most cases include a restroom - especially the ones that are used for long distances. However, there can be some changes or alterations and it can happen that the coach does not have a guaranteed restroom. The coach will make frequent restroom stops every 2 - 3 hours. Most of the time travellers prefer to use the restrooms at stops than the one on the coach.

    • Does this tour have a guide?

      This tour includes a guide for the whole tour starting in Madrid and ending in Barcelona.

    • Are the flights included?

      TourRadar specializes in giving you the best tours from around the world, however the tours we offer do not include airfare and we do not book or advise on airfare. You will be responsible for booking your flights to meet with the group at the starting city. We do not recommend booking airfare before confirming your tour. A good website to search for great prices would be kayak.com and/or skyscanner.com
