Barcelona Art and architecture Trips

This is a fairly rigorous itinerary and there is a lot of walking involved, as you would expect in Europe. Sidewalks are sometimes narrow and cobble stoned. If you have any difficulty maintaining balance and walking over a mile at a time, this itinerary will tax your ability. If you take advantage of the many additional tours offered, many of which are in the morning, and evening meals, you are in the coach from 8 am until 9 pm.

A great experience of Spain and Portugal giving us an understanding of the culture and history. Our favorite experiences were seeing the Port cellar, the olive mill, and the winery. Learning the history of how these industries have affected the culture and how important they remain to these nations was wonderful. We also enjoyed the many cathedrals and each one’s unique history. Overall a very enjoyable, informative experience.

We had a wonderful trip to Spain and Portugal with Trafalgar! We saw so many amazing places in two weeks! We were happy we opted for all the Optional Experiences. We were able to see and learn so much more about each location from the tour guides. They were very knowledgeable and spoke passionately about their tours, along with adding their own humor to the stories. Our tour director, Javier, was excellent! He was like our father away from home. He cared for us, watched over us and guided us from beginning to end. He was a fun-loving man who made us laugh all the time! I cannot say enough good things about Javier. He made our trip extra memorable! João was an amazing driver! He kept us safe on the roads, he was timely with pick up and drop offs. Worked so hard to unload our luggages behind the scenes. His driving and parking skills were superb! They made a great team! This is our second tour with Trafalgar and we love this company! We're already booked for our next adventure with Trafalgar!

The Tour Director kept the entire group on the straight and narrow with little fuss - it was almost a military operation! He was also good at suggesting viable alternatives for me as I was suffering from mobility issues. Kudos to !

The tour of Spain was outstanding with visits to amazingly interesting, beautiful locations with many of them being classified by UNESCO. Visiting the major cities was also a highlight to view the magnificent architecture, the tree lined avenues and impressively presented parks and gardens.

Spain is awesome and exceptional value for great food and wine. It is packed with history much of which was shared by our exceptionally knowledgeable tour guide Bradley. We loved Portugal too especially Porto with Gibraltar being the only slightly grungy novelty. Would we return to Spain.. yes in a heartbeat 💗
