Rhomtrip drivers were excellent and arrived in very clean vehicles. They were on time and very courteous. The gentleman who picked cass and Stacey up on October 5 was delightful and shared much about the city on our travels to the airport.

Madrid wine tour excellent, fun informative. Would definitely recommend.

Prado museum visit and lunch at Botin was incredible. Our tour guide was an absolute delight. Cassie’s art history was extensive and we gained knowledge of Spanish history as well. The experience of the oldest tavern for vermouth and dinning at the oldest restaurant made for incredible memories and storytelling back home.

Local market and cooking class. Excellent chef , easy to understand. You’re of the local market for food most interesting. Amazing recipes and food. Exceptionally clean facility.

Park Guell La Sangrada
Incredible history as told by our guide. A must to visit when in Barcelona.

In terms of hotels
Petit palace Posada Madrid. Liked this hotel best if the three we stayed in. - very clean, best beds and pillows of the three hotels we stayed at. The location was right down in-the walkable city. Excellent stay. Super shower. Excellent hotel breakfasts. Great coffee. There was a food attendant overseeing the breakfast which made for a personal experience.

Hotel Silken Seville was my least favourite hotel due to location. Too far from the downtown area. It is right next to the football stadium if you were to attend a football game. The beds and pillow though clean were not as comfortable as the Petit palace Posada. Coffee not so good. Very large hotel.

Astoria Hotel -Barcelona Good location to the walkable shops. Excellent breakfast. Has a roof top with a small pool. Nice to have a drink and see city lights. Closes at 900pm. Bed/pillows good.

Hotel Silken Al Andalus Palace
Seville

The beds and pillows not very comfortable. My daughter had to use an antihistamine with in 30 minutes of entering the room. Must have been something in the air. The hotel is large. The hotel is quite a distance from the tourist places to visit.
