Spanish Fiesta Reviews

Overall I had a great trip. However the pace of the tour rated by Globus is incorrect. This is a very fast paced tour that left little to no time for any free time to relax and take in the culture of where we were at any given time. If you did all of the optional excursions you had no free time. The days were long with wake up calls every morning from ...read more 6am and some days we didn't get to our next hotel till 6pm so the days went for 12 hours! Then we only had enough time to check in, change and be ready for dinner in mostly less than an hour.

Many people who were older quickly became exhausted and sick. This spread throughout the bus unfortunately (I am still trying to get rid of the head cold). This tour might be better off having less one night stays and not cram so much in so that people can relax a bit more. After all it is meant to be a holiday!

The tour guide Ramon was very patient and helpful and an excellent and informative guide. The sights and places were awesome and we saw so much it was like a whirlwind but would have liked to spend longer at some destinations.

The itinerary was great, the pace of the tour suited us, the optional extras delivered what was promised. Our only disappointment was in some of the included meals. In particular the welcome meal. The breakfast area of the hotel was not a great space for meeting people and small tables of 4 do not encourage mixing. I dislike buffet meals for many reasons ...read more but given this meal was our introduction to Spain I felt it should have included food that highlighted Spanish cuisine. For example a sweet and sour concoction seemed out of place. I would suggest that for future tours buffet dinners are avoided because they brought out the worst manners in some people. We knew who would be first to the buffet every time and often found them going back for seconds when we and other had not had our firsts. We know that Globus cannot dictate people's manners but meals served to table avoids this.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour, our first trip with Globus. Our driver, Pedro, was great, always driving us to the best spots for the best photo shoots. Kaye, our Tour Director, was so bubbly, friendly, efficient and such a wealth of knowledge. We loved listening to her endless stories. This tour covered a large area of Spain and we enjoyed visiting ...read more the small family restaurants, sampling the local food and rubbing shoulders with the friendly locals. The only negative for us was that it took a long time for our tours to be "guaranteed departures", hence we missed out on good flight times and prices. We would highly recommend this tour.

A great tour to Spain, seeing Spain from top to bottom with 2 night stays at the main city's. Great tour director with plenty of interesting story's of Spain. Only one complaint and that was bus was surposed to have wifi but could not get.

We were very satisfied with the service offered by Yvonne at Global Journeys. The tour itself was excellent and we enjoyed it immensely. However we noted on our feedback form to Globus that the standard of service and food at a couple of hotels was below the acceptable standard. As far as the other hotels were concerned, we found them to be have excellent ...read more standards of food and service. Thanks again.
