We left promptly at Plaza de Espana and our tour guide Josef shared a lot of information about the places we visited. Cordoba is lovely and I would love to go back for an overnight stay there. Cristobal is very knowledgeable. He reminded me of professors who are very passionate about their jobs and who share a lot of information in a short span of time. By the time we reached Seville it was late afternoon, but most of us in the group opted to watch the flamenco. We enjoyed it very much. The Plaza de Espana, the Alcazar and the Cathedral were my favorites.

This was an amazing experience! The church in Cordoba is a must-see. The only thing I wish this tour would have included is a tour of the Cathedral in Seville, but other than that, it was amazing.

The guides were excellent, the bus trip was beautiful and the tour of Cordoba and the Mosque and Jewish quarter were excellent. I am sorry I can't say the same for Seville. That part of the tour was a disappointment. I also felt I should have been informed ahead of time that I was the only one signed up for the two day tour and would be put in with a group doing a four day tour.

There were several major flaws to this trip. First, it seemed to be a big waste of time to take a tour bus to Cordoba for 5 hours when we could have just taken the AVE train and gotten there in 45 minutes. There weren't really any sites on the way to Cordoba. Second, the itinerary states you will have lunch provided in Cordoba. Lunch was not provided, we had to pay for it and instead of eating in Cordoba at a restaurant we ate at a truck stop on the way to Cordoba. Third, the dinner that was included was at the hotel we stayed at. We booked the three star hotel assuming everyone would meet up for dinner at an interesting local place. Instead we were just dropped off at the hotel and told that dinner was in the hotel lobby by ourselves. Finally, the tour in Seville did not go into most of the sites. I know that was stated on the website but there seemed to be no reason why the tour guide shouldn't have taken us into the sites. Overall, this tour could easily have been done on your own for around the same price and without a 5 hour bus ride.

The itinerary is OK, but AVE train is a lot faster getting to Cordoba Seville. Lunch was not included as described in the itinerary and explanations in Spanish seems to be a lot longer than in English.
