Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Our trip was wonderful. This travel company provided a good balance of guided tours with free time, and the hotels they reserved were always very nice and in the center of wherever the action was in each city we visited, so it was easy to explore.

One of the reasons I contacted a travel agency is accessibility issues. Our travel specialist was great at planning our tours to incorporate my slow walking pace and providing taxis or private transportation when needed to help me be able to walk more at the tourist sites, rather than use up too much of my limited walking capability getting there.

The tour guides were all very good. We enjoyed each tour, and then enjoyed exploring on our own, using tips the tour guides had provided for us about what would be fun to do and where to eat in each place.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

We enjoyed getting to see so much of so many places in only eight days--Barcelona, Granada, Cordoba, Seville, Madrid, and Toledo.

Granada was a highlight. We saw the Alhambra with a wonderful guide and then the next morning we decided to visit the Carthusian monastery on our own. It was fabulous.

The trip was for two families of four, and we loved the mini-busses that our travel company provided for all eight of us to travel together--we called each one our "party bus." It was particularly fun for all eight of us to go from Granada to Cordoba and then on to Seville in one little bus, and also to go to Toledo and back from Madrid.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

I might have liked to see the Alhambra on our second day in Granada, since there is so much walking and we had gotten up at 5 am that morning to get to the airport, where there was a lot of walking. But none of us really have regrets. We loved seeing the biggest attraction on the first day.

I would not leave my bag of souvenirs on the seat of a cab in Toledo again. But even that mishap was fixed by our travel agent who contacted our tour guide and she contacted the taxi company and arranged for the taxi to come back with the bag.
