Travel through Andalucia and the Mediterranean. - Excellent tour of this Spanish region. Its history, architecture, flavors etc, make it the favorite of 60% of visitors to the Iberian peninsula. Honestly there is no city or town to choose from among all those visited. Everyone contains countless adventures and stories that you will love.

Great experience - Margherita was immensely knowledge and very entertaining. The hotel's we stayed at were nice. Every local guide they hired were passionate about the history of the place and it showed. Loved Granada and Costa del Sol especially. Definitely recommended. Will travel with Julia travels again.

Second time was even better! - Did the 5 day version of this trip two years ago. The 6 day was a better option, a better use of our time and slower paced. Don't get me wrong, it is still lots to see in six days. Get ready to walk. You will get a very good idea of the complex history of Spain. If you love antiquity, history, art, and walking, this is for you. Comfortable hotels with excellent guides. Ismael is a master historian so we enjoyed his detailed explanations. Do at least one flamenco show. Take a cab to Malaga while at Torremolinos. Get tickets to the Alcazar and Cathedral in Seville. Travel light please. Don't unpack fully at each stop. Look at the local artisans and buy their exquisite crafts. See each site in the day and at night. Magical places worth seeing at different times of the day. Eat at the local eateries. Do your research and prepare ahead of time. Lots' to learn and enjoy on this trip. Cheers!

Andalucia at its BEST! - I am usually hesitant to put my travel fate into somebody else's hands but this tour seemed to offer everything I wanted to see in Spain and especially Andalucia. I must say I was impressed how well organized the process was from pick up to drop off. The guide was very good about keeping everyone informed and set expectations from the start. Every stop was amazing. Even though our tour guide on the bus was extremely knowledgeable about country and people we were still met by a local guide/specialist in every town to give the tour of Cordoba, Sevilla, Alhambra, Toledo and surroundings. Once the tours were concluded we had plenty of free time in all destinations to explore on our own. The hotels were all chosen well and very centrally located and allowed us to walk to reach restaurants, sights and shops on foot. The food... there was so much food. Every hotel offered a dinner (either set or buffet) which was very good quality. The breakfast buffets were especially impressive! We tried to slow down on dinner and then explore neighboring bars for tapas and wine. I would definitely recommend the tour. It was a great and relaxing way to see so many beautiful parts of Spain and learn so much of their culture and history. The price included transportation, accomodation, two meals per day and entrance to sights and guides. I thought it was a good bargain. Also, I recommend doing the pre and post day in Madrid. It makes the trip stress free and I was able to do most of my souvenir shopping on the last day before flying home!

Comprehensive and very interesting! - Great guide, Grace, spoke excellent English as well as native Spanish and was very pleasant and interesting. Other travelers in our group were literally from all over the world and I very much enjoyed everything, from the bus ride to the individual tour guides to the food. I would go on more Viator tours and Julia Travel.

Andalusia Tour - This was an excellent short tour and we saw the main parts of southern Spain. Our tour guide was excellent (Laura) and she catered for us beautifully even though we were the only English speaking couple on the tour. The hotels were all acceptable or good except possibly for the last one in Granada which was barely acceptable.

Good trip - I enjoyed the trip. we got to stay in good hotels and the city guides were very knowledgable and good However the downsize of the trip is you do not have a guide with you and the driver knowledge was very limited..some place he just left us wiithout any guides and we got lost so many times..he did not explain well enough what to do, where to eat etc..having a guide at every place as soon as we get down would have helped once eveything was explained and shown then they could leave for us to explore. My family enjoyed the trip.

Good tour but beware of add ons - First hiccup was finding the meeting place , so ask questions before your departure, the bus is clean, modern and has usb for charging mobile. DO NOT count on WiFi in the bus .it’s non existent and they know it , they lie that it’s available. Our guide Begoña was pleasant and knowledgeable, but would not go the extra mile to give you an excellent experience, just okay. Córdoba and Sevilla had proper guided tour but had to pay and extra €105 per person to get a Flamenco activity and a river cruise (was not worth it and overpriced) Breakfast , dinner and hotel in Sevilla were very good and as described. We parted ways in Marbella , but visited the hotel and was very nice and good location.

Huge disappointment - The tour guide Laura was very nice and very helpful. The main reason I am giving this tour company one star is because I can’t gove them 0 star. I sent this company an e mail prior to departure from the states telling them that visiting Alhambra, which is part of the tour, must be included and. to make sure it is because it is the only reason I am taking this tour. When we arrived to Granada, the tour guide told us that she had bad news for us when I asked what could this be I was told that they couldn’t secure tickets for us to visit Alhambra. We ended up not visiting the main reason We traveled to Spain to see. It was a huge disappointment to say the least.
