Introduction
Christopher Pollard Tours specialises in carefully structured, guided tours of Spain and, occasionally, Morocco and France. Our groups are small (rarely more than 16-18), our prices genuinely all-inclusive (including wine with meals) and our destinations chosen to give our clients an insight into the country, its history, culture and gastronomy.
Our tours (normally 8 days) will focus on a city, a region or, at times, a Festival or a special anniversary. Our hotels are normally family-run and atmospheric; our restaurants, whether rural or haute cuisine, authentic; our picnic lunches memorable. In addition the tours are accompanied by someone whose knowledge of Spain is unrivalled.
Please visit our tour diary for details of our many varied itineraries of cultural tours to Spain, Morocco, and France.
