After the tour, you'll have time to enjoy a lunch (own expense) and to stroll down the city on you own.

Later, you will enjoy a Private tapas tour, wine & market experience for dinner.
The most inescapable element of Spanish cuisine is tapas, small snacks now popular all over the world. In all of Spain’s cities, towns and villages you will find bars, taverns, and even entire neighborhoods, specialized in tapas. Spending a day trying different tapas is the ideal way to experience Spanish culture. You will be escorted by a food and wine expert guide who will point out little-known cultural and gastronomic landmarks during the tour, as well as telling stories and answering queries, thus enriching and enlivening your experience of this vibrant and flavorful city.

Can you book my international airfares?

On some Islands Holiday Packages (e.g. Fiji), it is practical to include flights, so where we have done this it is indicated by the plane icon.

However, on the majority of our Holiday Packages, we do not include international flights.

We found that many customers may prefer to:

Travel on a specific airline of their choice
Have the flexibility to book flights with Frequent Flyer points
Select flight dates that may be different to our Holiday Package start/end dates
Use a Travel Credit already held with the airline
Use their travel agent for this service

We are able to assist with flights on any Holiday Package, so please just notify us during the Book Now process or contact our team.

Should I take travel insurance?

Travel insurance is strongly recommended. During the Book Now process please confirm you require assistance, and our team will be in contact with you.

What should I do before travelling?

Before you travel it is your responsibility to ensure you have the appropriate documentation including visas. If you are travelling on a passport other than Australian or New Zealand, you will require a permit to re-enter Australia. It is your responsibility as the traveller and/or travel booker to meet all government entry requirements.
