Jerez og Cadiz med Horse Ballet og Sherry Tasting fra Sevilla

Camella and Gwen tour guides were great.Enjoyed the winery but sherry very different to what we tasted before and only liked 1. Horse show was just lovely and well worth the extra payment. Cadiz beautiful but forgot to pack for the beach.

We were very disappointed with this tour, it left 45 minutes late as 2 people didn’t arrive on time! No tour operator should hold a bus up for this reason! As a result we didn’t get our full time in each place! The tour was also divided in 2, some of us doing the horse ballet barely made it & had no time in the gift shop! They only had one tour guide to manage both groups! Cádiz was beautiful ! Petra our guide did the very best she could under the circumstances.

Overall a good itenerary and the tour bus was clean and comfy. The start of the tour was chaotic (local travel agency failed to inform a change of the meeting location), so aftet many messages between the tour operator, Viator and myself in a span of 35 mins, I had a small window of 17 mins to brisk walk to the new meeting point. Not the best start. For the wine tasting, we were rushed through it (late start by the guide, then stuck in traffic - total 30 minutes delay). To add to that, the group was split up to equestrian show vs non-show attendees. Then more delays - our tour guide had to compensate for another tourist in the group, so we were standing like fools on the patio waiting to get to the bus (after being rushed through the wine tasting and forfeiting the sherry tour) and ended up missing the first 10 minutes of the equestrian show. Gee. Things happen, right? After all that chaos, things settled and the rest of the tour to Cadiz ended well. Again, itenerary changed and we had to forfeit the tower view because of the bad time management at the start of the day. Still, all this "adventure" added to the cultural experience. Stay positive when travelling.

We all enjoyed the day, particularly the horse show and the visit to Cadiz. The wine tasting was interesting but so rushed. We had 15 minutes to try the four wines which wasnt long enough. This may have been due to the fact that the coach was delayed in setting off. Danielle our guide was brilliant. She was well organised, knowledgeable and a real asset! In particular her interesting tour of Cadiz was exceptional.

Rather boring. A very quick stop for a sherry tasting. Then on to the Andalusian horse dance (which was the best part of the trip). I’m not sure that I understood we were essentially on our on in Cadiz. Two and a half hours of free time was too much for me. There were 2 different groups using the same bus but somewhat different itineraries. Unfortunately there were quite a few who either didn’t understand the directions or chose not to abide by them which required the rest of us to stand around waiting. It happens on group tours, but if that annoys you, consider going private. We returned home 30 minutes later than expected, and since I had dinner reservations for the evening it was a bit frustrating. Petra was great. Just not my cup of tea.

Got to the pick up point with no problems. Bus came a little late but that was OK. The guide was young and a bit cheeky but gave a good guide as we drove through Seville on the first leg of our journey to Jerez. The bodega we visited in Jerez was excellent. Our guide there fro. Tuscany spoke excellent English and was obviously proud of the sherry they produced. The tasting was good too. Then we boarded the coach to the Horse ballet, arriving a little late as the show had started. The show was fine, the horses beautiful. Then the final leg to Cadiz, it looked very sorry for itself in the rain with many shops closed. I'm sure it is better in the sunshine but sadly looked like it all needed a lick of paint! The cathedral is an impressive building that dominates the square. We stopped in one of the cafes and had some tapas which was excellent. Then back on the bus at 5pm to return to Seville. The fields lining the motorway were flooded and some trees had fallen. The weather was terrible. Rain upon rain. A good day spoiled by the weather

Would recommend the horse show with the sherry tasting tickets. The horse show was absolutely beautiful and an event that should.be seen.

Awful start to day.Offered 8.10 am Pick -up at Naturanda Office C.zaragosa during phone and email contacts the day before. Phone contact no.after 15mins.wait to be told we should have been at C Rastro pick-up for 8.50 am. Lots of panic to get taxi to get us there on time to find that coach didn't leave until 9.30 anyway. Companies organization is chaotic!!!! Timings of this trip don't work. Got to Jerez to find winery in darkness due to power failure(nobodies foult) but had to be rushed straight to tasting table and quick sip as we had to rush to the equestrian centre for the horse ballet. This was excellent,the saving grace of the day. Then on to Cadiz for a quick hellter-skelter tour. Very nice meal close to Central Market-thanks to guide Driss. Guides tried their best to jolly us along but in our case they were on a losing wicket from the early morning false start.

Enchanting presentation, tuning between the horses and their horsemen and amazons, pleasant Mood.

It was a great trip. Our guide Daniella was terrific. She spoke clearly and provided important basic information at every step. She ensured we were well coordinated. It was an enjoyable day.
