The Trafalgar Travel Club

To express our gratitude, we extend membership into the Trafalgar Travel Club to all clients who have traveled with us, as well as a valuable credit worth 5% off the LAND-only portion of the next Trafalgar trip of your choice.

Avoid the Single Supplement

When traveling alone, we understand that some travelers do not want to incur the expense of an additional single room supplement. With this in mind, on the majority of their itineraries, Trafalgar offers you the opportunity to purchase these trips on a room-sharing basis. They will accommodate you with a fellow passenger of the same gender on a ‘two-bedded’ basis (non-smoking rooms only). Please note that, regrettably, they cannot guarantee that roommates will be of a similar age group. Even so, it is an enjoyable way to travel and get to make new friends, and a positive way to stretch your vacation budget. If Trafalgar is unable to match you with someone, they will provide a single room at no extra cost.


Please note: This service does not apply to Trafalgar City Breaks, Greek Island Hopper and Best of Greece vacations, Greek itineraries with Mediterranean cruises, train tours, Egypt, Israel and extra night (pre or post,) accommodations.

 

Save 5% on 2 Tours

    

 

SAVE 5% AND GET TWICE THE FUN!


   

...when you book a second Trafalgar vacation!

Book two Trafalgar vacations, each 7 days or longer for a reduction of 5% off the LAND-only portion of the vacation with the shortest duration. Take three trips and save on two! Just ask your Travel Agent for suggestions on your perfect vacation combination. There are too many to list here!

   
Please note: Vacations are combinable with second and subsequent additional trips. Vacations must be booked at the same time. The discount is per person only and does not apply to City Breaks, Greek vacations with Mediterranean cruises, Egypt, Israel and extra
night accommodations.

Danielle Mewes rated this tour a 2 on 10/31/2010 2:14:49 PM and says:

"The hotels were great. The first dinner in Madrid was very average, but the b'fast and dinner buffets were generous and satisfactory. One hotel (I believe in Santander) had no stairs beyond the third floor and actually had a notice that said "In case of fire put damp towels against the doors"-Not ok. The bus was also very comfortable and clean and I thought the rotation system was a good idea. I was also happy with the itinerary, though I could have skipped Santander and spent another night in one of the big cities. My complaints are with the guide and the "optionals".  I felt we were being sold to all the time and it put me on edge. From the very first day my mother and I told our guide that we would like to practice Spanish. She said she would be happy to speak with us. However once she saw that we had only signed up for 2 optionals, and we gave the explanation (she asked for one) that we needed to practice Spanish, everything with her changed. She never spoke a single word of Spanish to us and in fact on 3 occassions told us that it would not be a good idea to practice Spanish (San Sebastian, Pamplona and Barcelona). This, of course, turned out not to be true. We asked people, in Spanish, and were told that there was no reason for her to say that. She also told the group, on several occassions, that if they did not go on the optional tour that there wasn't much to do, the people would not be friendly or the food wasn't safe. Again none of this turned out to be true. She never gave advice or recommendations, answered questions or helped us in any way if we were not going on the "optional". The few times I pinned her down she gave me wrong information. Although she was very informative on the bus about Spain and its history, we often felt we were on our own. For us, this defeated the main reason we paid to be on a tour. Namely, to make it easy and to feel taken care of. Many people (especially those on their own) felt bad that she never did anything to bring the group together, including introductions. My other complaint is with the several trips that we were told it would not be safe to shop on our own, only to find that we were taken to a factory or bazaar where someone was obviously getting kickbacks (Toledo, Morocco). At least we should be told the truth. I would have preferred to pay more money up front and have everything included and skipped the forced shopping trips, which left many of us with a bad taste in our mouths. I was very happy with all of the local guides, especially Paco at the Alahambra and Aurora in Sevilla. Spending time with them only confirmed for me that our guide was not fulfilling her commitment to us. I will be reluctant to ever take a guided tour again, because of this experience, even though I loved Spain and much of the trip. I believe that the personality of the guide is crucial for making the trip a success and this guide does not have what it takes. To be dependent on someone for 2 weeks that does not have your best interest at heart and is not an honest person is a difficult position to be in."
