The tour itself was marvelous. The venues we enjoyed were truly the best of Spain. Our tour guide, Riad, was friendly, informative, knowledgeable, and very helpful. The bus and driver (Fran) were top notch in quality, comfort, and safety. The hotel in Madrid was filthy, and the hotel in Cordoba had almost no a/c and they turned the water off that night. We were dropped off like red-headed stepchildren where the bus driver stayed, while everyone else went to the nicer hotels for a couple of hundred dollars more for the whole trip (I was told by others in our group). If anyone from the US wants to book through Eskapas, I strongly suggest that you ask them directly about hotel upgrades prior to booking the Grand Tour of Spain. Had I known that beforehand, I would now be rating this tour five stars easily.

Our trip was delayed for a year due to Covid and during that time we were always in contact. Alex was available to us during our journey and extremely helpful in answering our questions or concerns. He created a smart agenda for us that met our desires and likes. We couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of our trip to Portugal and Spain. It was magical! Rosa, our guide, was excellent!!! Her level of knowledge and responsiveness were both exceptional and her honesty and integrity were obvious in our interaction. All of these attributes were very much appreciated. The only thing that could have been better was if we had just some more alone time and a day or two less activity than we had . At the end of the day, we had great, well-located boutique hotels, wonderful drivers, excellent guides, and the confidence of an extremely responsive tour operator Eskapas I definitely recommend this trip.

We enjoyed each and every city and location, rich with history and culture, and learned so much about them, thanks to the great guides. We could not have possibly seen and learnt as much as we did, had we traveled on our own. We recommend.

The tour to Spain and Portugal was awesome! The program includes visits to various attractive towns in Spain and Portugal. The English-speaking guides were competent, although their mastery of the language may be improved. The optional Flamenco show + supper in Madrid and the Sagrada Familia tour in Barcelona were both canceled, and we were  refunded the same day by the company. Overall, it was a great experience.
