West Africa Tour Reviews
Real traveler feedback from tours across West Africa
Lisa R. | Traveled in June
All went well. I even got to experience a location I had looked at each morning for three years. Isle of Skye webcam on the White Heather Hotel. The coach couldn't access the road but we stopped on the bridge so I could see the area. Also had the best shepherd experience of three including my previous travels. Only bad part was my purchase of a Sheila Fleet ring. Love it but the tour manager did not tell us that Scotland is no longer part of the EU therefore the VAT could not be returned.

The itinerary lives up to it’s name. In 14 days we covered a lot of territory, experienced Iberian culture and learned so much about Spain and Portugal’s fascinating history. Our tour director, the many specialists guides were professional and personable providing so many insights of these two beautiful countries.

My favorite experiences were the group activities: tour of Pompeii winery, the vertical farm & pizza making. All days were well planned. The only negative for me was being placed in the middle of tourist shopping areas in each costal town.
Diane M. | Traveled in June
It was a wonderful trip, this was my first guided bus trip.saw so many incredible places. Had no idea what to expect. We did add extra tours to go on, wanted to see it all.I realized for me I would have liked some down time before rushing to dinner. Next time I would carefully chose my extra tours & would like more 2 nights @ hotels if possible

We really enjoyed the mixture of land and water touring. Each day was a little bit of education and appreciation for what this country has been through over the years.
