Trip Reviews (1) Most Recent 'Colours of Spain' Reviews
The included experiences were fantastic. I particularly enjoyed the flamenco show with dinner in Seville, the olive oil farm with tour, tasting and lunch and the visit to the Royal Equestrian School. The included breakfasts and highlight lunches and dinners were fabulous but it was also great to have the chance to try local restaurants with other tour group members. I would definitely recommend this Travelmarvel tour. The Tour Director Barbara and coach driver as well as all of our local guides were excellent. I was also very grateful to Grace from Global Journeys who booked my trip, made enquiries on my behalf and answered all questions I had throughout the booking process. All went smoothly.
