Ana De La Torre - Traveled, July 2024
Our amazing, unforgettable trip to Spain, Morrocco and Portugal. Our tour guide throughout the trip, *Personal information removed by Feefo* was very friendly, positive, always available to answer questions, and helped find solutions to any issues that surfaced during the trip. You get to visit a lot of beautiful places you otherwise you wouldn't know about and without worrying about the need to purchase the tickets for it. All the hotels were very nice and the food at both the hotels and the selected restaurants was overall, very good

What a trip! In all other aspects of the trip Trafalgar service was great and the majority of the accommodations were wonderful. The whole trip was amazing beginning with our tour manager *Personal information removed by Feefo* and our main Driver *Personal information removed by Feefo*. *Personal information removed by Feefo* knowledge of the places and their history and ability to explain it to us was very informative and in his service to us he went above and beyond. Trafalgar need to have a close look at the service and quality of the hotel at Marrakesh it was abysmal and not up to standard expected of Trafalgar. The seafood dinner at the Tagus restaurant was very disappointing the majority of the group left most of it untouched.

Best 60th birthday party ever! Trafalgar care about their clients. This tour was a little more expensive than others I looked at, but the experiences on offer and the level of comfort provided were the best. Trafalgar tour directors and their coach drivers are also high quality. I highly recommend Trafalgar Tours. Our tour director, *Personal information removed by Feefo* was fantastic. Friendly, helpful, caring, knowledgeable, and it was evident that he loved his job. Our first driver, *Personal information removed by Feefo* was also wonderful. Very helpful, and knowledgeable. He had the best driving skills, and we had the smoothest coach ride over those two weeks. The two of them also gave us language hints and tips aling the way. The tour itself was well planned out, albeit a highlights tour, so there was a lot of travel. Some of the hotels could use revision by Trafalgar, due to issues with rooms, or food hygiene standards. Most of the local specialists were fabulous, with *Personal information removed by Feefo* (Morocco) being my favourite. The local specialist who took us through the valley of the fallen and el escorial had too many political opinions she voiced, and when people started tuning out from what she was saying, she treated the group like children, by demanding that we listen. My least favourite. I don't care what her political views are of Franco, I didn't attend the tour to hear them. One other aspect I was a little disappointed by was that we didn't have enough time to wander through Marbella old town for free time. Many of us would have preferred this to looking at the rich kids playground. I've seen it all before in other countries, such as Monaco and Dubai. The Fado evening was a highlight, and whilst the Flamenco show was also brilliant, the seating arrangements were very uncomfortable. Our ladt night's dinner was fabulous! We got to see *Personal information removed by Feefo* sing with the guitar duo who entertained us, was so much fun. I've made some new friends along the way, and had a great time with old friends. Overall, I loved this tour, it gave me a taste for more, and being on this trafalgar tour was exactly what I was after. I highly recommend it to anyone thinking about it. My head is full of beautiful memories...so is my camera!

Pamela Saldutti - Traveled, June 2024
The Tour was a great blend of culture, history and amazing sights. The Itinerary was full and very busy, but also allowed considerable leisure time to appreciate the many beautiful locations we visited. Although the group was large, we stayed on schedule so that we spent sufficient time at the sites and the optional experiences. The group and optional dinners were well organized and enjoyed. In addition, the rest stops and lunch places were all clean and well planned as far as timing and convenience. What really defines the trip is the Tour Director - *Personal information removed by Feefo* (Moreno) was most professional, engaging and experienced! It was a large group and he was not only prepared but also attentive to any and all questions and concerns from the group throughout the Tour. His informational commentaries during the coach rides were informative, interesting and often delivered with his dry sense of humor. Given it was such a large group, his organizational skills were commendable and very much appreciated! *Personal information removed by Feefo* coordinated well with all of the Local and National (Morocco) Guides. It was a pleasure to be led by *Personal information removed by Feefo* and I wish him the best in his future travels! *Personal information removed by Feefo* was the Driver for most of the trip and was always pleasant, helpful and smiling! *Personal information removed by Feefo* joined us for the last 4 days was very pleasant as well!
