In Spain, there is no one better than Hispatour.
On the excursion - Extravaganza, Incomartur, Geopolis, Artex.

Hello! Ispatur is a tour operator in Spain working with one of the best pickup companies in Spain. Tour operator Natalie Tours is a long-term reliable operator in Spain, one of the first in the union who began to open Spain for domestic tourists. Offers interesting tours combination tours "Kombi" - a sightseeing tour of Spain + rest on the coast. So do many other tour operators. As for travel agencies that know the direction of Spain, there are probably enough of them in the country, depending on the region where you live. If this is the city of Odessa, I will be glad to offer the services of our travel agency.

Thanks to all!
I turned to Ispatur ... - I can’t say anything good.
I would like to find a travel agency in Kyiv that works with TO Marfil in Spain.
аватар Tany_5
Please let me know if there are.
аватар Pachok
Obratites napryamuyu v Marfil! Perelet from Kieva v Spain seychas ne problema. Izbezite posrednikov.
аватар AnexTourOdessa
I wonder how through Marfil you can avoid tourist services? Marfil is a bureau of good free services?
аватар Tany_5
Yes, Marfil does not have a representative office in Ukraine. Therefore, you need to look for an agency, but this is also a problem.

See what interests you. If accommodation and transfer, then this "set" to certain hotels can be cheaper from large TOs, because these hotels are bought from them under a guarantee (but there will be only compatriots in the hotel). And it is not necessary to buy excursions from guides, you can also go to agencies in the city where you will live (you can find them at a good discount). On the Costa Brava you can do it yourself - book a hotel + flight on Wizzair from Kyiv to Girona. And excursions as you like .... you decide. There is a bus from Girona airport to Loret and Blanes (about 8 euros).

"Without intermediaries" this does not always mean cheaper, because. TO sells some TA tours with a 20% discount, but it does not directly have the right to make such a discount. So it turns out that TA can make a certain discount to the client, for example, the same 5% of the price of MOT, but MOT cannot. The same situation is between TO and hotels - the TO hotel sells rooms at a big discount, and the public does not have the right to make a discount. Sometimes it is cheaper to buy a room for a week in a TA near the hotel than directly at the hotel reception.

Pachok, and who is Marfil? Hotel? Bus? Excursion? Air flight? Insurance? Or is Marfil just an intermediary between all these organizations and services? And what is the price difference between Marfil, for example, and the well-known incoming partner Serhs? Tell me as a tourist, since we have already begun, what will I win if I prefer the Spanish tour operator Marfin to the Ukrainian travel agency?
аватар Tany_5
I asked Marfil. They only spoke about the possibility and price of the tour (and that I can buy a tour directly if I don't need a visa. ???? but I need a visa). The account of the agent in Ukraine was not answered at all. Looks like there are no agents here. On a straight line? What about the contract?
Yes, I'm willing to reasonably pay an agent for his services, but...
I liked Marfil's content tour more, + they have a better reputation on the Internet (on Russian sites) than Terramar.
IspaTour really, as it turned out, sells Terramara tours.
In general, I decided to postpone Spain for the next year.
Thank you all, in any case, for the valuable info!
аватар Tany_5
I think Marfil is THAT. Or not?
аватар AnexTourOdessa
Tany_5, I will stand up a little in defense of Ispatura, since these are our main partners in Spain. Ispatour sells tours to Terramar and other meeting companies in Spain with whom they have contracts. Also, if you look the other way around, when a Spanish tourist purchases a tour at a Spanish travel agency, for example, in Marfil, then this tourist in Ukraine will not be met by Marfil, but by a Ukrainian tour operator working for incoming (meeting foreign tourists). This is how the tour business works. Each of our tour operators has its own product, and the consumer chooses the most suitable one from all the offers of different tour operators. As a tip for the future, find a good travel agent in your region who knows the destination (especially since you already got to know the country thanks to the materials) and together you will put together such a tour as you wish, at normal competitive prices, and you will have no questions about collecting documents and other organizational issues. This is why we exist! All the best to you and have a good trip in the future!

)) Just the problem of finding such a TA in Ukraine.
I know everything: exactly the date, exactly the tour, even who sells in Spain.
))) I can not buy. Cinema!
Okay! Let them develop! )) You will have your own money for the tour "is".

Purely for the sake of interest, please send a program that you like. I'm interested to see what there is that you could not offer. Address [email protected]. Thank you in advance!

I just went to Spain (the host company is "Marfil", the route is "Classic Spain" or another name is "Spanish Tale").
To begin with, the route schedule was completely changed, as a result of which I could not go to Escorial myself in Madrid (which was not in the program), which could have been done with the declared schedule.
Then, in the ticket it was written about Barcelona, ​​in particular: "visiting ... the cathedral, Park Güell and the architectural modernism of Antoni Gaudí." Since Gaudi was the main goal of my trip, I bought a ticket (there were no other Gaudi companies in the tours at all). We saw the cathedral only from the outside (!!!!!!!!!!), we saw Park Güell, but there is almost nothing to see there, and that's almost everything !!!!!!!!! We drove past 2 more houses of Gaudi (the most famous ones) without stopping, and without even slowing down! At the same time, in the few seconds that we had, everyone could see (if it can be called seeing) only one of the houses, because they are located on different sides of the street. So the money spent on the trip turned out to be thrown away for me. This is outright cheating!
But that is not all. The guide, Mikhail Vasiliev, began by demanding 15 euros for using the earpiece
аватар Tratata_12
headphones. The first time they took money from me for this! Yes, and why? If the company is taking a large group, they MUST ensure that everyone can hear the guide. It's been that way everywhere I've been so far. In the future, there were other large and small requisitions, about which nothing was said in the ticket. For example, Mikhail charged 40 euros for a Flamenco concert, which was really not included in the program, but, as I found out after the trip, it costs less, especially since although Flamenco is great (I recommend), the concert itself was cheap. The men danced in ordinary clothes, without costumes, and the women had tattered stockings.
In addition, Mikhail clearly has an inferiority complex due to the fact that he works "only" as a guide. He kept talking about what a big figure he was and what celebrities he dealt with. This, of course, is only amusing, but besides, if he did not like the question he was asked, he answered with irony, trying to humiliate the questioner. I do not think that we should satisfy the guide's inferiority complex for our own money.
In short, before buying a ticket to Spain, I recommend checking if the host company is Marfil.

And again, Mr. Tratata (or Zhytomyr) with his malicious review of M. Vasilyev and the Marfil travel agency. Gentlemen and comrades, do not believe a single word. Marfil perfectly organizes his tours in Spain. My husband and I traveled through "Classical Spain" accompanied by Mikhail. Not a single hitch, not a single failure. Even when we had to stand in a traffic jam on the way to the Alhambra (a truck overturned on the highway and we were late for the start of the tour), Mikhail was able to negotiate with the local authorities to postpone the tour, and believe me, this is not easy. Mikhail is really familiar with many famous Spanish artists and He told us a lot about them. What's wrong with that? But at the same time he knows the history of Spain very well. And most importantly, how he tells it! Our entire group "in unison" declared that they had never met such excellent guides.
The waste complains about some nonsense: dancers have torn tights, etc. And at the same time, not a word about the wonderful excursions that Mikhail led. By the way, some of them were not in the tour program, it was his gift to us.
Therefore, I recommend Marfil to everyone for a trip to Spain with this guide. I can't say anything about other guides. Cyril is praised in the reviews.

Regarding the firm ISPATUR. These are scammers with years of experience. "Throw" both tourists and travel agencies. Over the past 2 years, they have 10 lawsuits in the Economic Courts, over a hundred deceived tourists. On one of these links you can read about Court decisions, where ISPATUR is the defendant. https://youcontrol.com.ua/en/catalog/company_details/24379286/ or https://opendatabot.ua/c/24379286
And most importantly, the ISPATUR company promises to return the money to everyone, but does not return it to ANYONE.
If possible, inform everyone who you think is necessary about this so that you do not fall for the bait of scammers.
