Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
The trip was wonderful. The tour director we got this time "Benjanin" was by far the best we have ever had and we have been on several tours. The pace of the trip is relatively relaxing and you have plenty of down/free time if you don't wish to enjoy the extra excursions. I will say we did all but one of the excursions this time and they were better then expected but they may have been the tour director going above and beyond what he needed to do.
Hotel quality varies with the St Moritz in Barcelona being the best because of its central location. Very nice of Globus to arrange for complementary Covid19 screen at the hotel.
Everything was excellent. Not to mention the extra care in providing the Covid test at the hotel at no additional charge. We learned a lot about the culture and the included excursions are top notch!
This was our first Globus Tour. It was the Spain Escape series. We felt it offered good value. Our Tour Manager Monica Rey was excellent as well as local guides and motor coach driver. The hotel were centrally located. We thought The Regente in Barcelona was the best for location, breakfast and room. Other tour operators we have used in the past include Gate 1.
This was a first rate, professional tour company. We had an excellent experience.
I attended both Greek and Spanish escape tours, both tour guides were very nice and professional and knowledgeable. I enjoyed my time and learned a lot about these countries and their cultures. I will very likely take other tours with Globus. Thank you very much.
Affordable tours is my agent of choice, in fact all my scheduled tour is book with affordable tours
There should have been an activity level description fir the excursions like strenuous, moderate, easy to help us plan better. I would have taken my walking cane with me if I had known. OR the guide could have told us ahead of time.
The time to visit various sites was not sufficient and the optional tours were too expensive, though the price for the regular tour (without the optional parts) was very reasonable. So, the answer should be "maybe"
We certainly did not study this trip well enough. We spent hours and hours on the bus and very short amounts of time in some very wonderful places like Toledo, Sevilla, Grenada, and Valencia. What a shame. We left on a bit of a low note-our tour director told us the taxi to the airport would be 25 Euros-it was almost 50. I guess we did not pay for airport transport for our way home since we had stayed an extra day. We were confused because we met a group who stayed an extra day also and their transport had been arranged. Oh well. Live and learn
My only complaint was the start time of each tour date: It started way too early. A start time of an hour later than scheduled would have been better for me. ( I realize though that there are also those who are morning people.)
Great experience with Globus!
The Spanish Escape Tour exceeded my expectations! We were taken cared off amazingly from choice of hotels, included meals, tour director, local guides, coach driver and optional excursions. Everybody and everything was excellent!
Wow!!! The trip was awesome. Our tour director Angel was one of the best ever. Our driver Jesus was wonderful and an excellent driver. Angel and Jesus made our outstanding trip even more so. This trip was way above expections as always. Thank you to Globus and Affordable Tours.
We were extremely pleased with this trip. We have traveled thru Globus many times before and were very pleased. With this trip we were exceptionally pleased with our booking agent Riley. The attention he gave us when booking this trip was appreciated and covered every detail. Our travel guide in Spain was surprised and impressed with the booklet, tags, information and etc. that we had. Others on this trip did not have the same information. We will definitely book with Riley again for future Globus trips.
