THE WORST TRIP OF MY LIFE, PLEASE DO NOT BOOK THIS PRIP AT ALL.

It was Saturday, December 27,2025. We were supposed to be picked up at 5:10 a.m. at 5:30 I decided to contact LUCIA TRAVEL. Nobody answered the phone. I i contacted a TRIPADVISOR agent. He tried to contact them and no answered at all. More people were gathering and wondering what was going on. At 6:30 a.m., after many attempts someone answered the phone and let us know that picked up was moved to 6:40 a.m. The tour guy ALICIA came off the bus totally clueless and avoiding answering any of our questions. SHE IS THE WORST TOUR GUY I HAVE SEEN IN MY LIFE. Nobody knew anything and almost two hours later she shared with us that we were to take the ferry that leaves at 12:00, not the 9:00 a.m one as planned. Reason why, I am still wondering. It took THREE AND A HALF HOURS to gathered EVERYBODY. NEXT, Alicia got names and booking numbers and started to call our names to tell us that we owed more than 259 USD and HER DOUGHTER from the main office notified her about it. Another VOLCANO EXPLODED among ALICIA AND CLIENTS. Nothing of that was real, she was simply clueless, and her lack of professionalism was immeasurable. IN TANGER: Another tour guy(local) joined us. A huge time on a bus seeing CALIFORNIA neighborhood. Then, TANGER CENTRE. He took us on a tour where even walking was risky because of the surroundings. After that LUNCH, when lunch was over, we were taken to a kind of store where no one of us bought anything. No to be enough, another two more stores with a lot of time seating in an area NOT SAFE AT ALL. The vendors were trying to sell product to us. The trip was almost over, and we had 20 minutes on our own to explore. COMING BACK: They tried to screw up the drop off under a weather situation that was putting all of us at risk of a car accident. All PHONE ALATMS WENT OFF, MALAGA STOPPED PUBLIC TRANSIT, they DO NOT FOLLOW ANY OF THOSE RULES. At this time, we had TWO DRIVERS and our "WONDERFUL" ALICIA. Thank you for reading and PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, DO TO BOOK THIS TRP AT ALL.
