Dr Wilson Copp tour
Excellent organisation as always. In particular Maria our tour guide was exceptional. The individual guides were also good. It was a fair and comprehensive programme to cover Andalusia. I do feel that as you quite rightly described the tour as involving a lot of walking then someone who had requested assistance on to the plane due to difficulty should be made fully aware of this as their disability can affect the whole group.
We’d love to hear how your holiday went. You can leave your review here:

Itinerary
Day 1
We meet at our designated pick up points and transfer by private coach to Gatwick Airport for our direct scheduled midday Easyjet flight to Seville. On arrival we are met by our Tour Manager who will accompany us throughout our tour. We then check in at the 4* Catalonia Giralda Hotel in Seville for a three night stay. A welcome set three course dinner is included in our hotel on the first evening, and the remaining two nights are on a bed and breakfast basis.
Day 2
Our guided tour of Seville, the capital of Andalucía made famous by the Conquistadors, explores a city that was once one of the richest in the world and is now home to the world’s third largest cathedral. A tour of the Reales Alacazares this afternoon introduces us to a stunning Moorish palace which was the Spanish kings’ royal residence for seven centuries. For those who are interested our Tour Manager will make arrangements for a Flamenco evening in Seville.
Day 3
An orientation tour of Jerez de la Frontera introduces us to a town famously associated with sherry. We then enjoy an included tour and tasting at a bodega producing Tio Pepe, the bestselling brand of sherry in the world. We visit the Museo de Bellas Artes in Seville this afternoon, formerly a convent and now one of Spain’s finest galleries.
Day 4
From Seville we travel to Granada. En route we enjoy a guided tour at the Moorish capital of Cordoba, once famous for its Jewish community, and The Mezquita, the grandest mosque ever constructed by the Moors. We continue to Granada and check in at the 4* Gran Hotel Luna for a two night stay. A set three course dinner without drinks is served in our hotel this evening, and the second night is on a bed and breakfast basis.
Day 5
One of many highlights is a guided tour of the Alhambra Palace. Dating from the 14th century, the Palace is the high point of Moorish culture and is recognised as the world’s greatest Moorish monument. With gardens, fortifications and sumptuous palaces, it was the home of many of the Arabic sultans who ruled the whole province. The rest of the day is at leisure in Granada and you may choose to visit the nearby Gardens of the Generalife. Adjacent to The Alhambra, these UNESCO listed gardens were the summer palace of the emirs who ruled this part of Spain in the 13th and 14th centuries. In central Granada time is also at leisure to explore its maze of winding streets and old Christian and Jewish quarters. On an individual basis you may choose to visit the 16th century Gothic style Cathedral.
Day 6
On arrival in Malaga we enjoy an audio guided tour at the Picasso Museum, the city in which the artist was born. We continue to Malaga Airport for our direct scheduled late evening Ryanair flight to Bristol, and onwards coach travel back to our original pick up points.
