We thought the pacing was perfect. Our group leader was knowledgeable and helpful. She was supplemented by tour guides at each stop who were able to give us detailed information about their city. They were all not only informative but also entertaining. We had memorable experiences at a pig farm, a vineyard, and a sherry vintner.
Our bus driver was very professional.
Everyone on our tour was friendly. We had a great time. We would definitely recommend this tour.

This tour reached all my expectations perfectly. All details were pre-planned impeccably.
Our guide, Mercedes was STELLAR. I am sure that she as well our expert chauffeur Javier were what made ALL of us delight in this experience. I know that I speak on behalf of all 18 of us.
A huge thank you to all of you involved and I am planning my next trip with you already.

Pace of tour excellent, liked the 2 night says. Not long time on the bus. Hotels good and very central. Size of group smaller max 18. Tour leader excellent very informative and kept things fun while being professional. Liked back roads off the freeways.

This tour is amazing! Our tour guide, Roccio, is what made the whole tour extra special. We had a fado performance with our first dinner, painted tiles, cooking lesson, wine tasting, saw beautiful cathedrals, churches, castles, palaces, etc. we were treated to a traditional Portugal dance at our last dinner. The balance between local tours and time to explore on our own was perfect. I highly recommend this tour.

Impressive tour. Most of the hotels top notch, most of the included attractions/activities definitely worth visiting. Tour leader, Mercedes, very friendly and knowledgeable. Jorge, our driver, definitely knows the roads and how to drive them. This tour lived up to my high expectations and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone interested in the south of Spain. Highlights were Toledo and it's magnificent cathedral, all of Cordoba including our most wonderful hotel, the Alhambra in Granada, the Flamenco Show in Sevilla, the Portuguese hilltop village of Monsaraz and our castle stay in Estremoz. I did not take in the olive oil tasting in Ubeda as it did not interest me so wandered the delightful town instead. Also passed on the visit to the pig farm as I do not eat pork. More than half our group opted out of this so maybe it should be revisited as an attraction, perhaps replaced with a trip to the Gruta de La Maravillas caves instead, which I understand are fabulous. Another suggestion. As many people do not eat pork, and as it was the only meat option at most of the included dinners, perhaps meals with chicken could be substituted for pork in some of these included dinners.
All in all, a trip to remember forever.

Absolutely wonderful trip with an excellent guide and ... an excellent driver of our small bus. Hotels were unique great choices. The areas that were visited were extremely interesting and beautiful.

Very informative tour. It was nice to be with a small group and also have plenty of alone time where we could explore arear on our own or with a select few.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Morocco. Our tour guide Brahim and driver Yusefwere exceptional. It was interesting learning about their country and seeing the country on the excursion.

This is in excellent tour, mostly of southern Spain with just a brief couple of days in Portugal. This was our third tour with Blue Roads (Back Roads in Europe) and we've enjoyed each and every experience. First and foremost, the group is relatively small (18 is the typical maximum). This makes it possible to enjoy new friendships and share experiences with fellow travellers from around the world (mostly Canada, USA, Australia & New Zealand). Our guide was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Every detail of our tour was looked after and her communication skills were tremendous. Between our Blue Roads guide and the many local guides, we learned much of the history behind our journey. Our driver was professional, polite and always on time. The itinerary offered just the right mix of attractions and stops along the way, and with enough free time to simply wander and enjoy the many towns and cities we visited. All the hotel accomodations were comfortable and in some cases quite interesting. A perfect vacation in all respects.

The tour was well organized and allowed us to visit a number of important historical cities and venues. More importantly our tour guide, Sonia, was excellent and made the tour fun and informative.

This was an excellent tour. The accommodations were very good, and equally importantly, were interesting boutique hotels. Breakfasts were all very good.
The tour itself was at the right pace, plenty of sightseeing but enough “own” time for personal interests. We covered a lot of ground but it was never rushed. Our driver (Carlos) was tremendous, always on time, great with handling all the bags and completely safe on the road. Our guide (Sonia) could not have been better. She was knowledgeable, professional and very helpful with recommendations and observations. She clearly enjoys her job and it made our experience first class.

Our tour guide was very nice
Hotels not as much

All tours & guides were very good
