The local travel agent was Explore Catalunya. Everything was good, including a friendly and efficient tour guide (Gloria) and driver (Marcelo), efficient registration, good transport.
The only thing is to please give more time to explore P..als. After 20 minute tour guide briefing, we only had 40 minutes left, and it's not enough to explore this beautiful ancient village. Increase the tour length by half hour.Read full review
The good points: All the Europamundo tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable and passionate. The accommodation was a good standard, with efficient check-in and decent breakfasts. Big comfortable bus.
The bad points: The tour itinerary inc..luded a day in Madrid when all shops and museums were closed (New Year's Day), and a "scenic" train trip up to Montserrat in the dark (like viewing the Mona Lisa with the lights off). Knowing these closures and the short winter days, they really should have amended the itinerary, or given us fair warning. The views from Monserrat was why we chose this trip, and we didn't get it. And it was sad hearing about these great museums, knowing we had no chance to visit them.Read full review
tour guide was very good but with too much information, it’s like an educational tour for students, more time should be given to people to explore the place themselves and have some more free time.
We enjoyed the tour because after a guided tour, we were given adequate time to explore the place by ourselves. Also, Mano our tour leader, was very helpful and gave an excellent narration of the history and other important information abou..t the places that we visited. The schedule was not very hectic or tiring too.
We would like to go on another tour in the future, as well as recommend this particular tour to our friends too.Read full review

Our tour guide Mano was simply outstanding. He was so knowledgeable and excited to share his knowledge with the group making the time on the bus a history lesson on wheels. The group was good for being on time and he always made sure to s..how us the meeting spots and let us know what to see, eat and such at every stop. The drive time was broken up with frequent stops which was nice. The bus was very nice, clean and comfortable. My only reason for the 4 star rating is the hotels were very average which for the price of the tour wasn’t a surprise. Overall, i found the tour informative, scenic and fun but would like more time in the cities we visited for a bit of exploring. It’s a great way to see lots of places in one trip but not enough time to get the full experience of each stop.Read full review
Tour was good not to bad. Accommodation is good. Its the discomfort we had because we are not allowed yo use the bus washroom and we have to hold our pee for 2- 3 hrs travel till we reach our next stop/destination. Need to improve food ..selectikns. Chinese buffet for lunch and dinner in same day. Last lunch we had was very bad. Other than that everything is ok.Read full review
