The itinerary was perfectly curated, allowing us to see so much in just 10 days without feeling rushed. I particularly enjoyed the blend of city tours and beautiful coastal views. The guides were exceptional, and their passion for their countries was evident. This tour is a wonderful way to discover the rich heritage and stunning beauty of Spain and Portugal.
More challenging walking then expected. May have beeHn helpful for shoe attire. Also heads up on clothing attire. All & All very nice trip. Got to see a lot. Loved our tour guide . He made it so interesting. Very knowledgeable about all sights. He took very good care of us. Would travel Trafalgar again!
I enjoyed the variety of places we visited. I especially liked having a local guide at each location to learn about the history and culture of each place. The only regret for me was that we couldn’t spend more time in Lake Bled. I liked that we were able to take the boats over to the island, but I would have also enjoyed seeing a view of the lake from a higher vantage point to be able to see the entire lake with the island in the middle. Otherwise, I was fully pleased with the itinerary of the tour.
Lisbon was awesome as was the Island Maderia. One of the issues that upset me was the fact that the tour manager assumed that all of us had cell phones. He was texting all of his directions to everyone. I told him that wouldn't work with me. I don't own a cell phone. He did start giving some directions at night verbally, but I still didn't get all of his directions that he texted to everyone else.
IT WAS AN EXHAUSTIVE AND EXHAUSTIVE TRIP. VERY UNIQUE IN ITS OWN WAY. I LOVED THE TRAVELLING AND THE WAY THE TRIP WAS HANDLED. COMING FROM A VERY SEASONED TRAVELLER THIS IS A BIG COMPLIMENT.
