We really had a wonderful time in Andalucia with you. Thank you so much for making our vacation so enjoyable and stress-free! Gail Jensen and family, USA

Thank you very much for making our stay in Andalucia so enjoyable and memorable. We appreciate your generosity with care and attention of us. We will be recommending you to our friends. Lyn & Bob Yule, Australia.

Chris and I would like to say a great big THANK YOU for a wonderful week. We have been looking at our photos and realised what a lot of amazing things we have seen in 6 (short) days. I hope we were not too troublesome. I have been, and will be recommending you as the only way to see Andalucia! Many thanks. Katy and Chris Dickson, UK

We got safely back to Edinburgh last Thursday! We do want to say how very much we enjoyed our stay and tour with you. We loved every minute: the efficient way you and Rob cared for us in every detail; we appreciated the research you had put into the tour as to what we would most like to experience and see; the good planning of the sequence of cities and places so that the time was used to every advantage but we were not too exhausted; our comfortable accommodation; and all achieved within a reasonable budget! Of course the whole area is wonderful and a joy to visit. We would not hesitate to recommend this tour to others and have already done so. We wish you the best of luck in the future and certainly hope we might meet again. Best wishes, Geoffrey and Veronica Craig, Scotland

Thank you so much for the incredible 10 days in Andalucia. The tour was excellent and I will be recommending it to all my friends. My warmest regards to Tag, Gill and big hug to the children (specially to my little friend Jonathan). Best wishes, Soraya Badouraly, UK

" Our experience with you in Andalucía was absolutely wonderful!  We could never, on our own, have seen the extent and variety of sights that you showed us in such depth, Gary.  Your knowledge of history and culture, your excellent driving, your gentle humour, the excellent pacing of our days, your incredible consideration and awareness of your guests resulted in one of the best travel experiences we have ever had.  Tag, you made us feel so very welcome in the guest area of your comfortable home.  Your full breakfasts were delicious and we loved meeting your children and pets.  It was all such a wonderful and very unique experience, one that we shall never forget and are now recommending widely and unconditionally.  Thank you so very much - you both give so much to your guests."

All in all a superb holiday experience discovering the beautiful Cities of Andalucia. Thank you.” Lesley & Morley Bishop, UK

" We want to thank you both, for our lovely holiday. You definitely set the Gold Standard for a touring holiday. The tours were perfect –(the personalised schedules, the flexibility, the best use of time & fitting in so much) - which along with Gary’s vast knowledge and enthusiasm made for a very rewarding experience of Andalucía. The personal touches were what made it so special – it felt like staying with friends who were determined to make our holiday special and keen to show us the best of their (adopted) country. We had an absolutely wonderful time and will definitely recommend TourAndalucia to our friends & colleagues. Thank you for everything" - Sita, Roshan, Pushpa, Bindu, Ranjala & Rashmi

" This trip fulfilled our expectations and more! A combination of adventure, warmth, culture and enjoying the relaxing Spanish way of life was everything we needed.

Thank you Gary & Tag for making us feel so welcome. Best Regards Kiia & Nina (two happy young Finns!)." Helsinki, Finland.

“Staying as guests of Gary and Tag proved a really cost effective way of touring Andalucia. The accommodation was extremely comfortable and the organization of the tour was smooth and relaxed.

Gary was the perfect guide, always there when needed, knowledgeable and with an awareness of those little corners which the average tourist would miss. The trips into the countryside were a delightful break from the Cities. Our room was comfortable, the breakfasts excellent and we enjoyed living with a lively young family.

Superb value for money considering the level of service and the trips that were included. Family (and pets) very welcoming!”. Robin & Morag Dempsey, Scotland.

"We thought it was fantastic and the sites we saw breathtaking, a wonderful 6 days, thank you". Peter Wilkinson, Canada.

"A highly recommended quality tour for those that want to concentrate on all quality aspects of the many interesting historical and cultural sights in Andalucia. Fully flexible itinerary to suit customer preferences". Derek Porteous, UK.

"The tour was truly excellent!!! We managed to see so much in such a short time. What really made the tour special, aside from Andalucía being a magical place, steeped in history, were Gary and his family. While at the villa Gary’s wife Tag would take care of all our needs and make us feel quite at home. Gary was so helpful in every way; it was like having a chauffeur, translator and guide with you all the time. His knowledge of Andalucía is excellent he took us all the best places to visit, eat, relax and enjoy. You could not want for a better guide and/or travel companion. We had chalked out an itinerary at the outset but this was always very flexible and we could chop and change at will (within reason of course); spending as much or as little time at any one location. Gary was very accommodating throughout. We enjoyed the tour so much that we have planned to return to Andalucía next year. I would wholeheartedly recommend Tour Andalucía, I’m sure you will have a wonderful time". Max Ahmad, UK.

"I am sorry to be leaving as I enjoyed the stay so much. Gary and his family are a joy and made us most welcome.The tours are well planned and we liked the flexibility which contrasts well with the rigidity of normal tour groups. The Villa was a nice change from hotels. I do not hesitate to recommend Tour Andalucia to people looking for a hassle free experience in Andalucia". Ken Acock, Australia.

"It was like visiting friends. Tag's delicious breakfasts, Gary's interesting excursions with good advice. Sangria at the bar with romantic music and the magic of the pool lights, what else could you wish for. Highly recommende". Diana Filevskaia, Russia.

"A great week. We were able to see far more than by ourselves. Gary has organised our week so well, planned routes, booked tickets in advance, advised on restaurant dishes, sights, translations. Our accommodation was comfortable and breakfasts delicious and tailormade. A warm family atmosphere. Everything excellent, thank you both". Robert & Christine Goodyear, UK.

"Thanks for a wonderful holiday. Every bit of it has been special. Thanks for the varied programme from Seville, Cordoba, pretty Ronda and the green lakes up to El Chorro Gorge. You and Tag made us feel very welcome in your beautiful Villa. Thank you". Pat & Dave Hughes, UK.

"Excellent hospitality. Well informed personalised tours. Amazing and stunning places to see both in Cities and Countryside. Exceptionally good value, thank you!". Jane & Chris Arthurs, UK

“Had a wonderful time and saw many things that I would not if I had travelled alone. Gary and Tag were fantastic at making this a special holiday. Nothing seemed too much trouble for them. I would certainly recommend this as a good holiday for people who want to take all the hassle out of travelling. I would rate 10/10 for friendliness and value. Will be back again sometime”. Carol Turner, UK.

"Hope all is well in beautiful Andalucia! Although we expressed at the time of our visit what a great time we had had on our tour of Andalucia, we also wanted to confirm it in print and to say we thought Tour Andalucia delivered on all counts. Many thanks to all your team who together made our holiday a truly memorable time for all the right reasons, we found our accommodation in the guest wing of your villa most comfortable and to us it was like coming home each day because it was a place to relax unlike large hotels, it was exactly what we were looking for. As your web site states we agree we didn't have to spend too long in a vehicle to reach all the cities, we found this enjoyable any way chatting with fellow guests (who have now become friends) and looking at the lovely scenery en route was great and all part of it. We thought all the cities and sites amazing and to visit them all on one tour as we did was ideal and value for money.Please pass on our thanks to Rob and Jilly and say hello to your lovely children". Best wishes, Sue & Roger Strode, Chepstow, UK.

“Have had a wonderful and relaxed holiday and felt very spoilt. Being taken everywhere took the ‘worry’ out of the holiday. I must thank Tag for her excellent hospitality and for her lovely bright smile in the mornings. I also thank Gary for looking after us on our trip and his excellent information on places of interest. I would certainly come again and a good recommendation will certainly be given back home. Thank you”. Sheila Plater, UK.

"Dear Gary, Thank you for making our trip to Andalucia special. We had a wonderful time. A special thanks to Jill for taking care of our house-care needs and her cheery disposition. A big hug to Rob for driving us around and heading us in the right direction at our destinations. We even forgive him for the one morning of the deluge in Ronda!! The day we spent with you at the dams was lovely. Thanks". Pat & Richard Crepeau, USA.

“We did tell you that our journey up to the point of arrival in Malaga was superb. Not a thing to complain about or that we would have wanted differently. Now that we are back in Perth and settling back into business life, we can tell you that the same is true for our time with Tour Andalucia. Clearly, for us to have even attempted to cover independently what we did with you would have been a great disappointment, as well as huge waste of time, while trying to find what you took us to directly. We will highly recommend you and your tour to anyone who might care to know more as we tell them of our adventure. It is with thanks that we write this and also to send you all our best wishes”. John & Lian Hayes, Australia.

"I'm just editing/deleting my mountain of photographs of Andalucia and I just wanted to thank you again for driving us through your beautiful neck of the woods and giving us enough information about places that we've only read about in books. I also appreciate that you took us to Mijas the first day when we were only expecting to go to the villa. It's a lovely little town and I'd be thrilled to settle down around that area, but unless I win a lottery, that's not going to happen". Cheers, Carolyn Apolito.
