What travelers are saying

"I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the hotel accommodations during my recent trip with Globus. The quality of the hotels was far below what I expected, particularly given the substantial amount I paid for the trip. It is not the responsibility of the guests to bring up these issues with the tour guide; these concerns should have been proactively addressed by Globus. I question whether Globus inspects the facilities, tests the food, or even stays in the rooms. If they did, I find it hard to believe they would choose these hotels for themselves, let alone their guests. Below are the specific issues I encountered at each hotel: - **7/7-7/8: Crown Hotel Plymouth** - The room had no hot water, a broken couch, peeling paint, and when I requested a room change, I was refused. To make matters worse, the view was of the roof. These issues made for a very uncomfortable stay. - **7/11: Clayton Hotel Glasgow** - The room's view was also of the roof, the accommodations were subpar, only one elevator was functioning, and the dinner served was simply unacceptable. - **7/12: Mercure Hotel Inverness** - Again, the accommodations were substandard. The window latch was broken, there was no air conditioning, the gym was non-existent, and the elevators could barely accommodate 2-4 people at a time. - **7/13-7/15: Mercure Hotel Edinburgh** - The window would not latch securely, the view was of a brick wall, there was no phone in the room, and the fan provided had no front cover, making it unsafe to use. - **7/15-7/16: Mercure York** - This was, by far, the worst hotel of the trip. My first-floor room was noisy, the hallway reeked of sewage, and there was tissue stuffed in the ceiling crown molding to hide a hole. The room had no air conditioning or fan, and I could not open the windows as the room was on the first floor. Additionally, the dinner served was unappetizing. Globus solution to this was to offer me a $650 refund! Unacceptable. Do not use them you will regret it."

Good itinerary, not so good tour director

Although I enjoyed the itinerary, we often had issues with our tour director. He was nice sometimes, but other times “snapped” at guests and argued with them. He rep...

Additional details

Common Tour Lengths

Senior tours to Spain tend to range an average of 9 to 15 days. Since Spain in such a large country, a shorter tour means you’ll only have time to visit 1 or 2 regions, while longer ones will allow to see various parts of the country. Each region differs from one another as well, so if you have the time, it’s definitely worth seeing all the various parts of Spain. 

Handicap and Wheelchair Accessibility in Airports in Spain

Airports in Spain are not the most well-equipped for seniors. For starters, shuttle carts are uncommon in Spanish airports and airport terminals are very spaced out. So make sure you give yourself extra time to walk. 

There is wheelchair service available, but don’t depend on it being available a minute’s notice because there is usually more demand than staff availability. It’s best to make sure that you are confirmed for wheelchair service when booking your flight. If you are in need of wheelchair assistance, you’ll need to wait for everyone else on the plane to exit first, which leads to the next point...

If you are changing planes in any of the major Spanish airports like Madrid or Barcelona, give yourself a lot of time to do so. Anything under two hours may not be enough time to transfer flights. Not to mention the additional 20-30 minutes you’ll need to wait if you need the wheelchair service.

The check-in counters tend to have very little seating, but if you get to the security section you will find yellow seats that are designated for the handicapped. 

Handicap and Wheelchair Accessibility in Train Stations in Spain

There is no wheelchair service provided at train stations in Spain. If there is no one around to help, Aside from some commuter trains, you’ll probably have to go up two or three steps to get on the coach or high speed trains. Some trains might be double deckers, where you’ll have to climb up stairs to get to the second floor. Make sure you hold onto the railing while going up the stairs, as the train might suddenly start moving.
