An amazing trip with such a variety of places and activities. The tour guide and bus driver were so fun. It was great to see such a range of countries with each one having such a difference culture. It had a perfect mix of add ons and time to yourself with each place having lots to do.
I liked all the places I got to see and the knowledge the tour guides shared with us about each place. The trip was all a wonderful experience except, the Tour guide and experience in Paris. It was a night mare.
Each day was well planned out with lots to do, but also stops for bathrooms and food and breaks. The local guides were great and I really enjoyed the bus tours of each city where we covered a lot of ground in a short time.

Overall satisfied with the tour. Guides were pleasant and knowledgeable. Drivers were safe and friendly. Areas to improve is to ensure bud drive back to the hotel when guests were left to tour the city. We were a big group 17 pax and were left in the city to find our own means to get back to the hotel. The Sintra excursion was a disappointment to the whole group as we were not taken to the actual Sintra Castle but only at the bottom site where there is not much to see. We all felt short changed for the excursion fees we paid. The Flamenco excursion was unsatisfactory too. Also we were misinformed that the Flamenco is outside the city and would be tight if we watch the bull fight show of 6pm. We were all dismayed when we were taken the Flamenco venue located only within the bull fight stadium.
We would certainly recommend this tour and the tour guide did a fatalistic job trying to take care of all requests and had a vast knowledge. The driverwas always helpful and new his route well. We should have a refund that was applied for by Len nus but not received as one tour was canceled for the lack of interest by others.We would have like some beach time and one less tour of churches We would like to suggest the mix of people and there ability to care about the enjoyment of others.Being late constantly and loud is not acceptable
