Home> What we do and don't do>

At Tour Andalucia we want you to have a great time and part of the enjoyment of our tours is that you explore and find out the amazing history and background of the places you visit without us treating you like children and lecturing to you at each monument or palace.

We have guidebooks that you can use to read about the background to the wonderful palaces, cathedrals, churches or monuments and we take you to the doors of each of these. We do not pretend to be experts and as such, whilst we might mention one or two interesting facts, we don't whisk you around them in fully guided tours.

We have itineraries, but we encourage you to explore and take as much time as you want to maximise your experience. We give you guidance on how much time we think you need to make the most of your visit, but we strive to be as flexible as possible and don't adopt the stance of ‘one rule for all’.

We have had tour clients say Granada is their favourite, others say Cordoba and others Seville. They all say how spectacular Ronda is.

So, you can see, everyone takes away their own experience and that is exactly how we want it to be. We want to encourage you to let your imagination take you to the times when people lived in these remarkable places and what their lives might have been like.

If you prefer to be part of a large tour group and follow a guide from one spot to another being lectured to, then Tour Andalucia is definitely not for you. You will see large groups of 40 or more people, from other tour operators, being shepherded around the Cities following a guide holding up an umbrella and shouting loud to make sure everyone can hear. We think you will be grateful that you are not part of such groups when you take a tour with us.

If you like to explore, soak in the atmosphere in your own time in relative peace and quiet and be part of a very small personal group then you will relish a cultural tour with Tour Andalucia.

For the Villa based tour, you stay in our lovely period Villa where we live as a family. However, you are in a self contained guest wing of the Villa complete with its own entrance, well appointed bedrooms each with their own en-suite or dedicated bathroom and access to private terraces. We are very friendly and love having people to stay. Whilst retaining their privacy, most of our clients really enjoy staying in close proximity to a lively family atmosphere that includes a couple of enthusiastic youngsters!

For those wishing to seriously indulge themselves, our 5* tours offer wonderful accommodation in some of the best hotels in Spain in the fabulous Cities of Andalucia.

We are different from other tours in many ways and in ways that we like to think are significantly better and result in a more enjoyable experience for you. In fact, don't just take our word for it, have a look at our guest book and let some of our previous guests tell you about their experience.
