Great trip

Review for: Andalucia with Valencia

I really enjoyed the Andalusia and Valencia trip from Barcelona.  Great guides. Nice hotels and food. It was just like the photos. I am going back next year for a month to Seville and learning Spanish now in Sydney!  The Spanish people are so friendly. I loved the historic buildings.  People on the bus were from 22 countries! About 54 of us.

Review for: Spain & Portugal Splendours

We selected the 10 day Spain & Portugal Splendours tour as we were travelling to Madrid to stay with family and wanted to experience our first tour together. We found the tour independently from our agent and when we booked through our agent the price was the same which meant our agent could support us in emergencies which they had done before - great peace of mind even before we began. The tour began from Madrid and the first stop was Oviedo where we consolidated with another group who had stared earlier than us. As we progressed, we consolidated with more people joining and some leaving and new guide and bus / driver. Whilst some might find this disconcerting, we found it wonderful - new people as well as old and from varying countries and not just Aussies or Americans. Many were South Americans. Many spoke English, the others Spanish. Our guides spoke both and their English was good and they were careful to ensure the English speakers fully understood everything they said. The drivers and guides were most helpful with luggage where assistance was needed. We found the tour went at the right pace for us very few photo stops of a few minutes. Most stops were for a few hours and allowed us free time. The 2 two night stops really gave us an opportunity to explore with others we had made friends with. They offered optional tours in some towns which we did and which we found quite reasonably priced and again with English and Spanish speaking guides and found they really helped us appreciate the local aspects better. But even without these optional tours the experience was great and rewarding. Our tour guides supervised our check-in at each hotel (all of which we found most comfortable) and made sure we understood where the hotel was located in relation to the local city maps which they gave us at each stopover and explained how to best get around - walking, bus, metro or taxi as well as recommended places to eat - which we found excellent, timely and reasonable.. It was the little things that made the tour wonderful for us (in our early 70's) - some of which I have mentioned above, but there were many more! We are now planning our next trip with Sun Island Tours - probably Croatia

Reply from Sun Island Tours
Dear Peter, Firstly thank you for your review. We really appreciate feedback such as the above, because it allows us to ensure that we are offering the high level of standard on our tours, that the industry and our Australian clients expect. Spain and Portugal are such magical destinations. We pride ourselves on our offering in that region, as you recognised, by merging different nationalities and cultures together, we are able to offer a more immersive tour. Plus it also allows us to offer weekly, guaranteed departures all year round. Great to hear about the professionalism and care that the guide had offered you, which we expect on every tour. I have spoken with your agent, Georgia, and have also passed on your feedback to her. We have an excellent cooperation with Georgia, who always looks after her clients, by finding the best product to suit their individual needs, and as you said, offering emergency support where and when needed. Cant wait to organise your Croatia trip. Please contact Georgia as soon as you are ready, because Croatia is such a hot destination, it books out quick! Most 2020 prices and availability are out now! Thanks again for your detailed feedback. Kind regards, John @ Sun Island Tours

Really enjoyable two week tour

Review for: The Best of Spain, Portugal & Morocco Tour 2024

Really enjoyable two week tour of Spain Portugal and Morroco. Nice sized group and well organised. Only one hotel in Fez was disappointing. Guide and company notified. Extremely good guide, and a really well organised tour, of varying sizes as people joined for different parts of the tour.
