Here is a selection of the most recent reviews of the 4-Day Spain Tour: Cordoba, Seville and Granada from Madrid submitted by actual travelers. Read what travelers liked, what they loved, and what they thought could be improved.
Over the 4 days, the tour covered some of the most beautiful/ historical sites of the Andalusia region. The guide who traveled with us to each region, Christine, was most knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. The local guides offered additional history/ local flair that was interesting and enjoyable. At times, however, it was a little frustrating. The tour is broken-up at local sites into groups of different languages. Our english speaking group seemed a little too large and at times, it was difficult to hear the local guides. The local guide at the Alhambra used headsets for each person on our tour, which proved to be quite effective. The knowledge of our guide, Robert, I believe, was just astounding, and, like all the other guides on our tour, his passion for the culture and history of the region was quite evident. Any questions were answered with amazing knowledge and detail. May proved to be an ideal time for our tour- the roses were in bloom and the scent of orange blossoms filled the air. The weather was not too hot (@80-85 degrees Farenheit and clear every day- no rain). Overall, the trip was an incredible journey and I would highly recommend it to others. We selected the 4 star option and were not disappointed in any of the hotels we stayed in.

The tour is good but was a bit rushed tough. Many of our members we left behind by the local guide at Cordoba and were seperated. One of us had to phone him. Overall we like this tour as it provides good information on the history

The tour was good, great sightseeing, only issue was there were 4 optional tours that were not mentioned on the website until the tour started, which cost around 125 Euro in total. These are a city tour of Seville, city tour of Granada and two dance performances. If you choose not to take the optionals, you have free time, but hotels may not be near the city center. Also, dinners at the hotel in Seville aren't that great, suggest to have dinner on your own outside instead!

The trip was good. Though we should have spent more time in each city. Also the hotels were OK, not so great. The tour guides were very helpful and friendly. Overall, it was a good trip and definitely I will suggest it to my friends.

This trip would have been better with a different tour guide. The English only tour was in both French and English, and i was so over listening to anything by the end. the optional excursions are NOT worth the money at all. the one we took of the city tour in Seville was in both Spanish and English and i'd say about 10% of the time she spoke in English. it was 35 EUR cash and we way overpaid. They were to drop us in city center afterward and instead dropped us in front of their hotel and we had about a 2 mile hike back to city center.
Tour was also segregated based on price paid - our one group stayed at two separate hotels - and don't pay for lunch ahead of time because they make a point to tell you that lunch is NOT included!
