Itinerary
Day 1: Barcelona
Arrive at any time.
Because first impressions matter, begin your journey the right way - by heading out with your CEO and group for drinks. Explore and unwind in Barcelona's most renowned neighbourhoods for nightlife - El Raval, El Born, or The Gothic Quarter.
We highly recommend arriving a day early to experience all that this incredible city has to offer.
Please note: if popular sights like La Sagrada Família or Parc Güell are on your must-see list in Barcelona, we highly recommend purchasing tickets online several months prior to your trip to guarantee admission.

Day 5: Granada
Enjoy an orientation walk in Granada. Opt to relax in one of the many hammam baths around town. Enjoy a tapas bar crawl with the group in the evening. First drink's on us.
A trip to Granada wouldn't be the same without a night on the town; the city is filled with trendy tapas bars and has a lively music scene.

I had the best time with the best people. So grateful for this experience and for Carlos for making the trip so special.

This tour was a fast pace trip with all hostel stays so for those who are older and like their privacy this may not be the trip for them. Also, this trip had a lot of walking involved. Though with the openness for dining this trip allowed me to try cultural foods with my budget in mind.

It was an amazing experience but depending on what kind of travel they are looking to do it might not be a fit for everyone.

Easy style of travelling with like-minded fellow travellers - the most convenient way to see the world, which leaves you free to enjoy the experience instead of worrying about all the smaller details

My CEO gave us lots of different ideas and recommendations. Something for everyone. She had the best attitude and was incredibly friendly and warm. I loved my tour group members and I am glad I chose G Adventures for my first trip to Europe.

The company runs good tours with passionate and enthusiastic CEO running the tours, for both this tour and previous tours I've done with G Adventures

It was a good itinerary but personally would prefer a private bus/coach as I've experienced I'm on other tours. It would reduce a lot of travel time etc.

Tour guide Carlos set the bar extremely high and without a doubt exceeded it. He was hilarious, fun to tour with and made sure everyone was included

Too fast-paced. it's hard to relax and enjoy, it felt we were always rushing

Barbara our CEO was a true and absolute highlight. She was the most amazing CEO you could ever ask for! The only reason I give this trip a 9 and not a 10 is because I wish the pace was a bit slower with more time in places. One night is often not enough, especially when travel times are so long.

I liked how you still get a lot of freedom but everything is organised for you in terms of transportation and accommodation.

I think the organisation could be a bit better - having a private bus for transport, a better way to manage group bills at restaurants etc

The tour gave me the opportunity to meet like-minded travellers around my age. Also, it was great to see lots of different places and get to experience some of the best sights that were recommended to me by the CEO!

Oscar, the Chief Experience Officer was fantastic. I found rooming with six people quite difficult, but that has to do with personal preference.
