What people love about Northern Spain Tours from Madrid
- Spanish Bliss end Barcelona (from Madrid to Barcelona)
I enjoyed the itinerary and our guide Linus was excellent. A couple of the hotels had real wifi issues and it was so slow almost unusable, it an essential tool today and Europamundo need to address this matter ASAP.
- North of Spain & Portugal, 8 days
Maria was a great guide-experienced and attentive. She interpreted everything for us well. She listened and she worked hard to make the tour a great experience for us.
- Northern Spain (Classic, End Barcelona, 11 Days)
This was a great trip. The only downside was the surprising behavior of some of the passengers ( all over the age of 50) behaving like children with regards to seat allocations.
