Terrific - but disorganised and lacking communication
When I arrived at the address given by VPT tours, there was no signage but I saw a group of people with suitcases queuing up along the footpath. I asked them if it was, indeed, the 7-day Andalusia and Barcelona 7-Day Package Tour, and they said it was. We waited for at least half an hour with no-one appearing to pass out information, welcome us or apologise for the wait. Fed up, I entered an office on the corner to find an unsmiling female receptionist who confirmed that I was in the right place and that I had to wait. Finally, a 20-something girl (Valeria) arrived in the street to say we should get onto a bus that had appeared and off we went. I was surprised at how old the bus was. There was no pocket or table on the back of the seat in front, nowhere to put my things, and had to jam my water bottle between the seats. Valeria had a good sense of humour and her knowledge of English was very good. She always made announcements in both Spanish and English. Lack of communication was my main criticism. No communication from any staff upon arrival, haphazard messy handwritten notes in the lobbies of hotels about what was to happen the next day. Where was the itinerary? The daily news? The plans in detail for the following day? I tried calling Valeria early one evening to find out the times for the morning departure but she didn’t answer, nor did she reply to my SMS. If I were running this outfit, from the beginning I would have had someone out on the footpath, talking and laughing with the passengers, handing out lots of information, reassuring them that the bus would arrive soon (along with the tour leader), provide seating for those who couldn’t stand on a footpath for half an hour or more. I would have provided information ad nauseum. In Granada, we attended a terrific flamenco show one night, having been taken there by bus, alighting at the entrance, getting back on the bus from the same place. The next night, we went to a gypsy flamenco event in a cave-like venue, which was sensational. As I was using a walking stick, I figured I wouldn’t need it for the 2nd venue because I didn’t need it for the 1st, so I left it back at the hotel. BIG mistake! We were not told that we would have to walk a fair distance over cobblestoned hilly streets to get to the venue. To get there, two very kind fellow passengers supported me on either side to arrive safely at the venue. By the time we arrived there, I was exhausted and traumatised. VPT tours need to grow up. They offer a really good package, where I saw lots of things I perhaps wouldn’t have if I’d been on my own, but they lack professionalism and organisation. Whilst Valeria was a charming, helpful and empathetic young tour leader, she lacked experience, which I’m sure will improve her performance in the coming years. It’s a bit disconcerting how different destinations necessitate changing faces as passengers cease their journey leg and others join the buses, however, one can get used to that. It’s obviously the best way to run the buses economically. I get it. They just need to get it together in a more organised way.

7-Day Spanish Delights from Madrid: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Madrid.
How much does 7-Day Spanish Delights from Madrid cost?
+
Prices start at $1,265 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Madrid usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 7-Day Spanish Delights from Madrid take?
+
Plan for about 168 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Madrid is not rushed.
Is 7-Day Spanish Delights from Madrid worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Madrid, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 7-Day Spanish Delights from Madrid?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 7-Day Spanish Delights from Madrid suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 7-Day Spanish Delights from Madrid?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Madrid can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Madrid and add a light layer if any part of the 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 7-Day Spanish Delights from Madrid start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Madrid within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Madrid?
+
On Outty we rank every Madrid experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Madrid Essential: Historic Center, Plaza Mayor & Royal Palace, Madrid Walking Tour from Puerta del Sol to Retiro Park, Madrid Tapas & Wine Tour with Rooftop Views and Local Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Madrid?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Madrid?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
