Madrid City sightseeing Trips

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.

This is really not a tour for English speaking tourists. We were the only ones on our bus. Maria was great at making sure we felt comfortable and know the history about the places we went. I didn’t like that we were bounced around from bus to bus and a different group everyday. Since we were the only ones that spoke English other than the guide, we didn’t really speak to anyone and make any friends. I felt like some of the stops could have been longer. We would stop at a cute village for 45 minutes and 15 of that would be standing in line for the restrooms with everyone else on the bus. Overall we were happy with the tour. Maria is the best and if she could have been with us the whole time it would have been better. I would recommend this if you speak good Spanish so that you could communicate with other travelers.

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 !

I feel like I saw everything I wanted to see and more. This trip provided historical perspective as well as an experience of the culture, food and wonderful local guides. I feel like I truly got a real understanding and flavor of the country I could not get otherwise.

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.
