Madrid, Portugal, Andalusia, and Morocco – Escorted Tour

Why a coach tour?
Traveling by coach will make your dreams come true as you experience and enjoy different countries while gaining a deeper understanding of the country you are visiting. The tour provides the opportunity to meet people of different nationalities, cultures, and ages. Share with them the experience of discovering new places. Traveling as part of a group eliminates the possibility of solitary and costly experiences. It also ensures the security of being accompanied not only by your fellow travelers but also by our tour guide during the various legs of the journey, and by a local guide during scheduled visits.

TRANSPORTATION
In luxury coaches with air conditioning, panoramic windows, and reclining seats. Julia Travel has its own fleet of modern coaches, which sets us apart from other Tour Operators. We offer experience, comfort, quality, and safety with our modern vehicles that meet European Union regulations, driven by experienced drivers.

MULTILINGUAL TOUR ESCORT (English / Spanish)
We are aware of the importance of the tour guide during the circuit, which is why we carefully select the most highly qualified professionals who are thoroughly familiar with our routes and the cities to be visited. During the journey, they will provide explanations about the itinerary, coordinate accommodation services, and ensure the smooth running of the tour, making your trip an enjoyable experience. In cases where the minimum number of 12 participants is not met, this service may be provided by our driver.

LOCAL SIGHTSEEING
In order for our clients to fully enjoy the cultural and historical knowledge of the cities visited, as included in each itinerary, Julia Travel will assign the best and most experienced local guides. Entrance fees to monuments will be included as specified in each itinerary. Please note that some monuments, due to their religious nature, may have specific dress codes that must be followed for entry.
For your convenience, our tours include a radio guide service. The radio guides are given to travelers as a deposit. It is the travelers’ sole responsibility to maintain and return them in perfect condition at the end of the tour; any loss or damage will incur a penalty of €50.

HOTEL ACCOMMODATION
Our hotel selection criteria are based on the best balance of quality services and price, as well as appropriate infrastructure, ensuring that we reserve those that offer the best guarantee. Accommodation will be provided according to the category of the tour selected by the client: “T” Tourist Class & “A” First Class.
