Spain and Turkey Tours and Trips

It hit a majority of highlights of Spain and Portugal. Patrick our tour guide I believe made a big difference He added so much to the itinerary with his stories and information about each stop.

Nice trip but found all the time was spent on the bus or visiting ruins…No time to explore towns or villages…I love ruins but in the end did not want to see another one… About explore….this was my first time travelling with them, was quoted a price for an extra night in the start hotel and was given a price twice I payed directly with hotel, same with transfers, was quoted £130 for a one way airport hotel, that could be booked for £35 on booking.com…Just wondering now if the tour was overpriced….

Insights trip to Spain and Portugal was indeed the best. First class accommodations, motor travel, silted, tours unique stops and the food. Our travel director and tour bus drivers the best I have experienced in 20 years of travel.

Well balanced with a mixture of history, culture, geography, local sites and traditions and well paced with a number of two night stops and a couple of restful days in the Costa del Sol. The optional tours were mostly enjoyable. I would change the Cascais trip to perhaps Sintra. The hotels were of a good standard but the included dinners in Madrid and Barcelona ( maybe my choices) were average.

My first Explore holiday and definitely won’t be my last. The leaders Tarkan and Ali were amazing. Tarkan saw to our every need and was confident in his leadership and knowledge. Ali was also wonderful and had an incredibly rich knowledge of Turkish history and wildlife. Together they made a great combination. The cycling was hot, hilly and hardwork, I wd rate it at above moderate personally but a great way to see the real Turkey. Going in Oct rather than Sept cd possibly be a better option with the heat. All in all a wonderful holiday, thank you

We had a great time. Juanjo was a lovely guide, very friendly, extremely knowledgeable about the area and led us on great scenic challenging walks. The Casa Cipriano Hotel was exactly right in respect of accommodation and food.
