Day 1: Madrid

Location: Madrid

Accommodation Name: hotel

Madrid - Toledo - Cordoba. Departing Madrid, our first stop is the pretty hilltop city of Toledo. A former capital of Spain and today known as the 'City of Three Cultures', it's a vibrant place to explore. We have serval hours here - perhaps you'd like to explore the Jewish Quarter, admire the Cathedral, grab some lunch at a local restaurant or try some of Toledo's famous marzipan.





Continuing through the Castilla-La-Mancha region, we can admire the views of rolling hills and mountains, vineyards and windmills before arriving in Cordoba, our base for the night.





Please note: Check-in closes at 08:15 (tour departs at 08:30) - Madrid Pick Up Point, Hotel Porcel Ganivet, Madrid.

Day 2: Granada

Location: Granada

Accommodation Name: hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast

Cordoba - Fortaleza de la Mota - Granada - Cordoba. Heading out from Cordoba after breakfast, our first stop today is the fortress of Fortaleza de la Mota. Dating back to the Middle Ages, this sprawling fortress looks more like a city, with towering walls and church towers. Entrance is included and there is time to explore before we make our way to Granada.





Step back in time as we wander the Old Town of Granada, then head to the mighty Alhambra. This famous 13th century palace and fortress is one of the best-preserved examples of early Islamic architecture anywhere in the world, as well as being home to important Spanish Renaissance architecture. We'll tour Alhambra with audio guides, and there's free time for you to further explore at leisure before we return to Cordoba.

Day 3: Seville

Location: Seville

Accommodation Name: hotel

Meals Included: Breakfast

Cordoba - Seville - Carmona - Cordoba. Today we enjoy a day trip to one of Spain's most endearing destinations and a popular city break haunt: Seville. How you spend your day in the city is completely up to you. Explore the stunning Plaza de Espana on foot or sit back in a local tapas bar with a jug of Sangria - we won't judge! Other highlights of Seville include the Cathedral, and you could also take a stroll along the banks of the Guadalquivir to admire the iconic Torre del Oro, a military tower dating back to the 13th century.





Leaving Seville, we enjoy a quick stop in the historic town of Carmona, before returning to Cordona for our final evening.

Day 4: La Mezquita

Location: Cordoba

Meals Included: Breakfast

Cordoba - Madrid. We haven't forgotten to show you around Cordoba, and that is how we will be spending our last day in Spain. We enjoy an included visit to UNESCO-listed La Mezquita, a historic mosque that has also served as a place of worship for Christians in its long history. After our tour, you'll then have free time to take in any further sites you have missed in Cordoba. We then leave the city for the final time, visiting the 10th century castle of Castillo de Consuegra. Overlooking a range of windmills and perched precariously on a ridge, it's a great final stop of our journey! Arriving back in Madrid, our tour ends.





Please note: This tour ends at 19:00 - Madrid Drop Off, Hotel Porcel Ganivet, Madrid.

Recently returned from Greece, a 5 day tour with OTG. Unfortunately, I had a negative experience on day 2 where I needed local support to get me out of a tricky situation. Thank you to Alexandra Z from Hetco Tours in Athens for helping me continue on with the trip, to the Hotel Zafolia staffing team and to Danielle and team here in the UK for supporting me with the aftermath. Your kindness will not be forgotten and I will pay it forward. I've now booked 3 trips with yourselves and will continue to go back. Thank you all. Honestly, I am SO grateful. Blessings to you all.

Wonderful experience

05-Jan-2023

Jamal is our tour guide. Right from the start, he created a group chat in whatsapp and if any issues to make sure we contact him. He was on the ball with every issue thrown at him. Luggage being left behind, stragglers wondered off in a different path, hotel room etc. He explains the various site along our route to give us a better understanding of the local cultures. We had a great time, thanks to Jamal.

Land of the Northern Lights 5 day tour of Iceland

10-Sep-2021

The Land of Northern Lights tour was a triumph! My tour of Southern Iceland was absolutely wonderful. The venues chosen, the timing allotted at each venue and the variety of things to experience was nearly perfect. Our guide, "Thor", was smart, amusing, full of history and anecdotal stories as well as being incredibly hospitable and helpful. This small group experience was my first, but not my last thanks to On the Go.

On The Go Tours Sri Lanka was an incredible experience that was made even better by our tour guide Akthar. He was incredibly knowledgeable about his country and he loved sharing it with us. The tour covers a wide range of activities so you can truly experience what Sri Lanka is all about. The beautiful 4-5 star hotels at the end of every day was an absolute bonus. Thanks for a great trip OTGT I’m sure this won’t be my last

King Tutankhamun 10 day tour of Egypt

16-Sep-2021

I have just returned from my tour with On The Go and it was an amazing trip! From arriving at the airport and meeting the OTG representative, everything was well organised and hassle free.  Our tour guide was Amir. He is awesome!! From the beginning he was so friendly and enthusiastic about showing us around Egypt, giving us loads of information at each place and time to explore ourselves. Learnt so much from him about this fascinating place, and he was always happy to answer more questions.   The trip itself was amazing. There's lots of travelling on this trip, but it's really not too bad, and the sights you see when you get to where you are going are worth it. I'm not a big fan of boats, but the Felluca ride across the Nile was pretty fun too.  On the first day I also did the optional tour of Cairo with Ahmed Helal - another excellent guide from OTG. It's worth doing this add on as you don't spend much time in Cairo, and you go to three very different places.  I'm so glad that I decided to do this trip. It was just ace.  If you're thinking about it too, you should probably just book it. And hopefully you get Amir as your guide.

I would give this tour...

09-May-2024

I would give this tour group no stars if possible. The tour was not guaranteed but they did not inform me when I booked and they did not have enough people. Way after I booked they said I needed a doctors letter because I was over 70. Also way after booking I was informed I needed travel insurance. They knew my age when I booked. They would not refund my tour even though it was 4 months away.

26-Nov-2024

This company doesn’t deserve even 1 star. I would not recommend this company. There are hidden fees which means the cost of the holiday ends up being very expensive. We recently came back from our trip to China where it is not customary to tip in restaurants & hotel staff. Yet we had to make a payment upfront in cash to to the guide for more than £100. The hotel service was appalling. Just think £100 from each person. The trip was suppose to be a Tour yet we had to pay for all entrance fees. We complained about the poor condition of the hotels but no one responded to our emails to date. The after sales service is non existent. Do not use this company. Far far too expensive for what you get. Not competitive at all. They messed up our booking; repeatedly asked for the same information. We spent so much time correcting their errors. Very difficult to get hold of anyone because they all work in S Africa or New Zealand. Absolute nightmare

27-Dec-2023

Terrible tour of India. For some reason On the Go hadn't realised that my room mate had booked her own room for the first night of tour. So the hotel in Delhi had tried to put me in her room after midnight, by wheeling in an extra bed. She went Crazy!! I then had to sit in hotel reception for hours. While the tour guide said he couldn't find me a room. Throughout the tour the guide consistently ask me and my room mate for money for my room, causing more friction between us. Don't book with this company had the worst experience ever. Go with Intrepid or G Adventure

09-Aug-2023

I had used them once before and loved them. I decided to try them again for a Baltic tour not knowing that they put me on another Tour group- Baltic vision. Loved that tour but was not impressed they marked up the cost for me over 100%. I understand taking some for yourself because of paperwork, but over double the cost everyone else paid on the tour. Just double check before you book with them that you’re not over paying.
