Grand Journey

Marseille is France`s oldest city and one of the Mediterranean`s premier ports. Amid the big-city bustle, the old port is a quaint landscape of historic charm: colorful fishing boats sail past the imposing Fort Saint-Jean, narrow streets wander among ancient churches and cobbled squares, while the venerable Basilica overlooks the scene from the hilltop above.

Barcelona is a vibrant city on the northeastern coast of Spain known for its stunning architecture, and rich cultural heritage. Barcelona’s seaside beauty, sprawling beaches, eclectic architecture, world-class tapas and Tempranillo are all reasons to fall in love with the city of Gaudí. Indeed, the treasures here are many and diverse, captivating travelers and experts alike. In fact, nine important sites in the city, seven designed by the famed architect himself, have earned the acclaim of UNESCO.

See the wealth of historical treasures found in the coastal city of Màlaga. Once a major trading port, Màlaga has an eclectic mix of sites influenced by the Phoenicians, the Moors, and the Spanish. 

The Andalusian city of M&aacute;laga, the birthplace of Pablo Picasso, has always had a connection to art. Take a short ride to M&aacute;laga&rsquo;s city center, where you will start a different artistic route based on the project created by residents and artists from all over the world, named Soho Maus. It is a unique experience of creation through which streets are transformed into a working canvas for numerous artists. The project aims to provide Malaga with a valuable contemporary cultural legacy by developing a new vision of the city, creating new spaces, and changing the city&#39;s daily routine. All the activities in the project have been carried out with the involvement of the residents &ndash; an inspiring walk. But what would be M&aacute;laga without Picasso? After the walk through the Old Quarter, you will reach the Picasso Museum in the stunning 16th-century Palacio de Buenavista. &nbsp;Here you will have the opportunity to practice your artistic skills as you learn about a range of techniques used throughout the works on display in the museum.&nbsp;&nbsp; After that, enjoy fantastic tapas at a &nbsp;M&aacute;laga restaurant.&nbsp;

Discover M&aacute;laga through art and become an artist yourself as you take part in a workshop at the Picasso Museum followed by Spanish tapas.

Alhambra is Fully Booked on May 16, no new bookings accepted. Please note this tour is available on request only and pending confirmation. Please refer to the note sections for further details. Granada is a beautiful city near the spectacular Sierra Nevada mountains. Granada is a popular favorite of the Andalucia region. It has a rich history, a fantastic range of sites to see, and bustling nightlife. With Arab influences and Spanish charm, there is plenty of culture and history to explore here. Number one on the list of unmissable things to see in Granada, the world-renowned Alhambra gets its name from the Arabic for &#39;Red Castle&#39; and has been poetically described as the place where the air is clear, and the freshwater from the mountains reaches. Considered Granada&#39;s &ndash; and Europe&#39;s &ndash; love letter to Moorish culture, this fortified palace complex started life as a walled citadel before becoming the opulent seat of Granada&#39;s Nasrid emirs. Their showpiece palaces, the 14th-century Palacios Nazar&iacute;es, are among the finest Islamic buildings in Europe and, together with the gorgeous Generalife gardens, form the Alhambra&#39;s great headline act. Part palace, part fort, the Alhambra is now a dedicated UNESCO World Heritage site. It boasts spectacular medieval architecture, which captivates over 6000 visitors daily, but its beauty can be appreciated even in the busiest moments. After a guided visit, enjoy an early dinner in a five-star restaurant resembling the Alhambra. t

Join your expert guide for a full-day tour and explore Alhambra, a dedicated UNESCO World Heritage site boasting approximately 6,000 visitors daily. A refreshing early dinner at a nearby five-star restaurant or similar is included. t t t

The Alhambra & Gardens

M&aacute;laga is loaded with history and brimming with a youthful vigour that proudly acknowledges its multi-layered past, the city that gave the world Picasso has spectacularly transformed itself, with half a dozen new art galleries, a radically rethought port area and a budding art district called Soho. And today, we invite you to discover part of it on board electric cars. So, it will be both fun and sustainable! The circular route, starting and ending at the cruise port, will ride you through the streets of Malaga with several stops to visit the main points of interest, the downtown area, the Candado beach promenade, and you will even have the chance to drive through the still undiscovered-for-many 'barrio' of El Palo. Stops will be done along the route for you to take the best pictures to bring back home. However, a visit to Malaga wouldn&#39;t be complete if you don&rsquo;t visit Gibralfaro Castle, with its imposing views over the city and port area. Throughout the route, as the Old Quarter is restricted to any vehicle, you will have free time to explore the town independently. Price per car, maximum 2 guests per car (2 guests travelling together will only need one ticket). t

Discover Malaga on board a two-person electric car (Renault Twizzy or AMI Citroen). Your guide will provide commentary via the radio system as you explore Malaga. Time permitting, guests will be allowed some free time to explore independently.&nbsp; t

Malaga by Electric Car

Leaving the port behind, you will take a panoramic drive through the Andalusian city of M&aacute;laga. Pass by city highlights such as the ruins of the former Roman Theatre, the Bullring and other buildings dating from the 19th Century like City Hall, the Justice Court, and the Central Post Office. As you finish the drive you will reach La Merced Square, the birthplace of Pablo Picasso, for a short photo stop. Continuing on, you will see the beautiful architecture of the Alcazaba Palace, a historic castle built in the 11th century as the residence of the Arabian Caliphs (Kings). This majestic place is next to the Gibralfaro Castle, an ancient Moorish fortress offering breathtaking views of the city and its bay. You will stop at a point near the castle where you will have the chance to take some of the best pictures of the city. Then you will return to the city Centre and start a walking tour: following the narrow streets and finally pass by the Cathedral with its renaissance style, built between the 16th and the 18th centuries, and now designated a National Monument. Next, deep in the ancient suburb of M&aacute;laga you will head to the Arab Baths or 'Hammam'. It combines damp heat, dry heat and cold with the purpose of cleaning the body and skin, treating stress or just relaxing. At reception you will be given a bath wrap, a towel, and a bowl. Other purchasable 100% natural handicraft products are offered. The bath begins with a shower in the hottest hall which is about 45&ordm; C. A cupola in the dome attenuates the exterior light and a huge octagonal stone block of rock below it, allows to rest while sitting or lying on it. &nbsp;With this step your body temperature will be elevated in order to open up your pores. Then you proceed to the temperate hall that has a temperature of 40&ordm; C. There you clean and peel your body with soap and the horsehair glove and refresh in the water of the hall or in the showers. And finally, you will go to the cold hall at 30&ordm; C to rest and wait for your body to cool down. After this relaxing experience, you can enjoy a delicious coffee or infusion before returning to the ship. You can also ask the masseurs to give you a massage.

Get to know beautiful M&aacute;laga and its Arabic roots with a deep dive into the Arabic culture while relaxing at a typical Hammam.

Private Half-Day Van & English-Speaking Guide - Malaga

The white contour of a church on a hilltop, the narrow streets of the old fishermen and tradesmen quarter, the presence of the sea and the immense beach known as Paria da Roch identify the character of Portimao. The old town is dominated by the architecture of the late 19th and 20th centuries: houses boasting wrought-iron balconies, ornate stonework around the windows and doors, balustrades of stone and tile-covered ceramics and walls. This southern Portuguese port is the gateway to many historic towns of the Algarve region. The town offers a rich heritage of historical monuments and the eternal natural beauty of the Ria de Alvor. Portimao is also known for its extraordinary Portuguese cuisine. To savour the spirit of Portimao, there is nothing better than to sit in the shade of the trees in the gardens of Manuel Bivar, to watch the fishing boats sail by and to walk through streets and squares that exude the ambience of an active, hard-working town.

Discover the world’s last colonial empire, turned bustling cosmopolitan city. Lisbon has dozens of Moorish castles, pastel buildings, and white sand beaches to explore. This Atlantic-coast city perfectly encapsulates Mediterranean charm with its wine, food, and architecture.

dietary requirements which may disclose your religious or philosophical beliefs;

You are not under any obligation to consent to us processing or disclosing your sensitive information in the manner described above and in our privacy policy. However, if you don’t agree then we won’t be able to process your data or transfer your data to our suppliers. As you will appreciate it would then be difficult to actually provide your holiday because making your holiday arrangements involves processing your data and transferring your data to our suppliers in order that they can provide the services.

If you have concerns with us processing or transferring your data then please discuss that with us at your earliest convenience in order that we can book your holiday and provide you with the necessary services.

If you are happy to consent to our use of your sensitive information, you will also be able to withdraw your consent at any time. However, as this will prevent us from providing your holiday, we will be required to treat any withdrawal of consent as a cancellation of your booking and the cancellation charges in the Booking Terms and Conditions for your booking will become payable.

IV. THE LEGAL GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING GUEST PERSONAL DATA

In most instances, we process your personal data under the legitimate interests of providing you products and services. In other instances, we obtain your consent to process your personal data where we are required to do so by applicable law – for example, where we want to use your contact details for marketing purposes or where the personal data we are collecting from you is sensitive personal data and we are not lawfully permitted to process your personal data on any other legal grounds. Where we rely on your consent for processing your personal data, you may withdraw your consent at any time, by contacting us at 

. Please note, however, that withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on the consent you gave prior to withdrawal.

Where we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, we will log your objection to and stop such processing of your data, and we will not contact you again if requested. You may object to such direct marketing by clicking the unsubscribe link in each such direct marketing message or contacting us at 

While we always want you to be aware of how we are using your personal information, this does not necessarily mean in every instance that we are required to ask for your consent before we can use it. There may be instances where we process your personal data for our legitimate interests (furthering our business relationship with you) or on the basis of other lawful grounds (i.e., because we have established a relationship with you and need to process your personal data in order to provide you with the information and/or services you have requested), without having obtained your consent. We do not seek your consent in such cases largely so that we can provide you with services in an efficient way (or where in some cases it might not be possible for us to seek your consent because we must process personal data, for example, for the detection of fraud). Before processing your personal data, we will consider your rights and freedoms and will only commence such processing where we do not think your rights will be infringed.

Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, only a limited number of individuals within A&K Travel’s legal, finance, IT, accounting and customer care departments, as well as certain managers (i.e., only persons with assigned responsibility or managerial responsibility for a guest or groups of guests) will receive access to Guest Personal Data when necessary in connection with their job responsibilities.

If you provide A&K Travel with personal data about members of your family and/or other dependents (e.g., for emergency contact or benefits administration purposes), it is your responsibility to inform them of their rights relating to the processing of their personal data for these purposes. You are also responsible for obtaining the explicit consent of these individuals (unless you are authorized to provide such consent on their behalf) to the processing (including disclosure and transfer) of that personal data for the purposes set out in this Policy.
