Hello Barcelona!

We went last year on the tour "Hi Barcelona" and the second time with Sacums. And like the first time, everything was at a high level.

But I'll start in order:

Organization: there are no complaints about the work of our group leader Katerina, as well as for the group of tourists, too. In each city, everything is clearly planned, meeting places and times are precisely indicated. Time, as always, is not enough, because even for the seventh time in Budapest, I discovered something new for myself. But we did not have, as they write in other reviews, that people were left hungry or without souvenirs. We had sanitary stops every 4 hours, Katyusha always told and showed places where you can eat and buy souvenirs. We arrived at the hotels late. And the hotels were different. The most luxurious is the Rafael Hotel in Badalona. Hotel in the suburbs of Barcelona, ​​300-400 meters from the sea, modern interior. And a similar hotel in Venice, Olympia, if I'm not mistaken, is called. Worst of all was the hotel on Lake Balaton, comparing with our previous tour to Italy. At that time, we had a very good hotel at Balaton.

We had a good bus and friendly drivers, a big hello to them from us!

Very interesting excursions to all places, but more on that later.

And now along the route:

I will not write anything about Budapest, I can already conduct excursions there myself.

Next was Milan, but before that, charming views from the window along the entire road. Milan is a very beautiful city. Since we arrived there after lunch, we didn’t have time to go to the Duomo Cathedral, but it’s worth doing! If you want to see the famous fresco "The Last Supper", then take care of the tickets in advance, because it's not so easy to get into the church, I heard tickets have to be bought a couple of months in advance.

Most of all I liked Monaco in this tour: CHIC, SHINE, BEAUTY!!! It was a good tour and a wonderful country. Very clean and beautiful sea. And the Monte Carlo casino must be seen with your own eyes, because words cannot convey all the beauty. Well, of course, you can not ignore the monument to Adam and Eve.

Further along the route was a perfume factory, which disappointed me in terms of perfume, but I bought a wonderful scented soap. In the village of Eze, located on a mountain, I saw a hummingbird for the first time in my life.

What happened next was something I had never imagined. Cote d'Azur of France - Nice and Cannes, where, in addition to excursions and souvenirs, we had the opportunity to swim in the sea. There are a lot of shops in Cannes, shopaholics will not be left empty-handed.

Barcelona. As I said above, a chic hotel. Interesting tour, damn little time. In Park Güell you can walk half a day, but the time there is very limited. In the Cathedral of St. The family, which is still being built according to the project of the famous Antonio Gaudi, is worth a visit. If you have free time, you should stand in line and get into the middle of the temple. We did not order additional excursions in Barcelona, ​​except for Flamenco. We walked around the Gothic Quarter after Katya organized a group lunch for us, where we were treated to wine, salad, paella and dessert. For little money, a lot of fun. To get to know the city better, we bought tickets for a sightseeing bus. There he travels on three routes: blue, green and red. Since we saw most of the attractions of the red route on the survey, and the green route runs mainly along the embankment, we chose the blue route, as it led to Mount Tibidabo, which we wanted to visit.

I also liked the performance in the flamenco dance theater, we ordered with a drink, because after a very hearty dinner, we didn’t want to eat.

And I almost forgot, I recommend visiting an interesting and colorful market in the center of Barcelona - all kinds of vegetables and fruits, seafood and spices.

After Barcelona, ​​we visited Venice, which I just fell in love with, though only the second time, on the last trip I didn’t like it at all. And this time, an evening excursion with an interesting guide along an interesting route did its job. Be sure to ride the gondola.

And Lake Balaton, which, after the Cote d'Azur, was already so-so.

The tour is very good. I liked that everything was on the tour, including baths in Hungary, swimming in the sea, boat trips to Venice and the islands of the lagoon, gondola rides and wonderful excursions, and the most important thing on the tour is a good mood !!!
