My husband & I are planning a trip to Spain this fall for 12 days. We are planning to fly into Barcelona, stay for 3 days, and then take the train to Madrid. We would tour Madrid on our own as well but then were thinking of booking a 5 day Julia travel tour from Madrid to see Toledo, Cordoba, Sevilla, & Granada. Has anyone taken this tour and would you recommend it? Or, does anyone know of an alternative tour company? Thanks.

I don't know anything about Julia Tours, but any tour that suggests it can show you Toledo, Seville, Cordoba and Granada in five days has got to be, at the very best, questionable. The geography simply will not allow it in five days! I spent ten days seeing those same cities two years ago and there was much, much left unvisited. Scale back your itinerary and find another way to see two of those cities in your five days.

Julia tours- google for testimonials.
You seem confident enough to manage Barcelona and Madrid without guidance, if you cut two items of those four why not be independant and enjoy at a sensible pace? If your style of travel is this near whirlwind or see a site or two in each place tour - fine.
