UK and Britain Art and architecture Trips

For the curious traveller who wants to explore a bit more of Portugal, this itinerary was perfect. The beaches of the south, the plains of the centre, the hills and rivers of the north are all included. The result is an enjoyable time exploring a cultural and historic treasure.

First of all, the guide Daniel and the driver, Felipe were OUTSTANDING!! they made the journey most enjoyable. Dan was very knowledgeable, kept us informed of the day to day schedule and was always available to assist with any issues that would arise during our trip. I know my fellow travelers felt the same. And we were all amazed how Felipe navigated some of the narrow, twisty roads without even a scratch to the coach.

We had a great Peloponnesus tour with Peter! We experienced each historic sight with a preliminary briefing and all questions answered in detail. Our entire group got along very well!

What an absolutely wonderful tour. The tour guide went above and beyond for all tour members, one who needed medical assistance specifically. Each hotel was amazing and top shelf. The optional tours were beautiful and shared so much about each area and the people who live there. The pace was great as well were able to see so many areas of Portugal. I will definitely recommend to others. Portugal is green in beauty and taking care of natural resources. Loved our time there!

The Baltics have a rich and complicated history and the area is well worth visiting. Our guide Leva whose home is in Latvia, knows the area extremely well and often took her private time to suggest and lead activities that were not on the official tour itinerary. Three beautiful countries, three languages, and three main religions all combined in a whirlwind tour.

Spain is a very large country and we wanted to see as much of it comfortably as we could. Portugal was also important. I think this trip allowed us to do everything we wanted to do very comfortably. The hotel accommodations in my opinion were excellent. The breakfast every morning was Amazing. The Trip director was very personable and knowledgeable and humorous. Our luggage was managed flawlessly and we never had to carry anything heavy up and downstairs. There was a lot of necessary bus time in order to get to all the places we wanted to visit. But the driver and the director were careful to break that up into manageable stops. There was a toilet on board the bus and the bus was very comfortable and clean. We enjoyed a number of exclusive experiences such as a home-cooked meal in a small village in Spain and a personable tour of a small cava winery. There were others. The Gibraltar experience was definitely worth doing but one day will let you accomplish that and that is what we did. I wish I had brought a bathing suit because there were plenty of times to swim either in the hotel pools or on the Mediterranean. I can highly recommend this trip. My wife and I are in our mid and late 70s and we enjoyed it very much.
