We could not make the tour because, on 4/3/2024, our connecting flight, Delta 1576, was cancelled. Because of increment weather conditions, all flights out of Orlando International Airport on 4/3/2024 were cancelled. As a result of these cancellations, we could not connect to our international flight, Delta# 0194, out of Atlanta, Georgia, headed toward Barcelona, Spain. I had reached out to La Vacanza Travel and explained our situation to them, and I requested a refund. The refund was denied, and I was told that it was because the Tour Guide Company, Julia travels, denied to give a refund. I had then reached out to Julia Travels and was informed that it wasn't their decision to deny the refund...it was actually La Vacanza Travel's decision to make. After using La Vacanza Travel Tours, over 9 times, for our Tour Bookings, during our 2 weeks vacation to Europe, I feel that La Vacanza Travel should've honored the requested refund, and not give us a 'Run Around The Bush'!
The Sagrada Familia was the best part but our tour took way too long to get in (at least 1.5 hours) and we had fast track entry tickets. The English/German tour was not what was expected or enjoyable, we were expecting an English only tour.
The stain glass windows light reflections were primary colors and beautiful. Amazing architecture. Wish we would have known before hand that we had to put a backpack in a locker if wanted to go to tower. Didn’t bring any euro $1 coins. Nice you got it back but, wish this information was shared. Didn’t do tower because of not having a coin to insert.
Guide’s interpretation of the bascilica was insightful. Highly recommend. La Vacanza Travel process was easy and worth taking hassle out of buying ticket on your own.
The guide was good but he did two languages and spent a lot of time on personal stuff where he grew up etc. I was interested in the cathedral. There were some in our group who seemed to really appreciate him.
