The Don Quixote Experience Tour was excellent. The tour guide Beatriz was brilliant and very friendly and she described the visited sights and history behind them very well. We visited the La Mancha area and towns referred to/associated with Don Quixote and of course the windmills which were beautifully restored and some actually well preserved. The Belmont Castle and the winery we visited were also beautiful and worth a visit. The winery tour was also very good and we tasted some excellent wines. We actually bought a couple of bottles. The lunch at a local village was sumptuous. Highly recommended tour

A great day! Awesome learning about Don Quixote and Cervantes, seeing the windmills and Dulceana's home. The castle was great as was the lunch. The vineyard tour was interesting and the wine tasting experience really fun!

Even better than expected, and I expected a lot! This was a truly awe inspiring trip---from Madrid to La Mancha of Don Quijote.... A friend of mine advised me not to go on this trip cause he said it was a too intensive trip and journey... Thanks god I dind't listen to him cause it was completely the opposite!!! Realizing that an extraordinary amount of work is done by the office and support staff, I still have to say that this trip would not be what it was without the guides, Clara and Jorge, going above and beyond what anyone could have expected. They have got to be among the best. Thank you to the entire gang at Julia Travel!
