well worth visiting this area, hotel in a lovely bay and table service, although breakfast self service and no hot food. Excellent tour manager, Carly. Arrived at both ends of the tour at about 8.30. I don’t think it would be suitable if you have walking difficulties. Spent approx 15 hours on coaches, a couple of long tour days. We didn’t have a front balcony room but they looked very nice. Some lucky souls were upgraded to sea view rooms. First class customer service (Guoda) from Great Rail Journeys to sort out a problem I had. One downside is that the train carriages were on two levels and both ways we were on the bottom level so could not see much as they build banks to stop the noise of the trains.

Roses is a gem. I cannot rate it highly enough.

hotel and guide excellent, in the case of our rather senior group there were some issues with the trains, like rushed change at stations, long walks and not enough planning for places to eat at the stations. In the hotel the ready dished up dishes tended to be too full and a service with a possibility to have smaller portions and possible 2nd helping offers would have been preferable

This Costa Brava area is great in so many ways. It was a wonderful holiday. The hotel food was average and the trip should include more outside restaurants.

However I score this tour the outstanding feature was Simon Witter the tour leader. He was in complete control all the time and I am sure everybody on the tour will agree that he was also great company. Apart from that we had a good view of the trees from the Yellow Train. We enjoyed the Nuria Cog railway and the Dali Museum. .
