What I liked most about the tour was the visit to Seville because on our 2017 tour I had been sick and we could not enjoy this visit on that occasion, I also liked the visit to Porto and Santiago de Compostela.

A very well-organised tour from beginning to end. Breakfast at most places had plenty of choice, and having some lunches and dinners included was excellent and made everything so convenient. We really appreciated the little extras along the way — things like the horse ride around the city, free time to explore, and stops at local shops known for their regional produce all added something special to the experience.
The guides were incredibly informative and took great care of us, and by the end felt more like friends than guides. We made wonderful memories and would happily recommend this tour. A bit more information about the optional additional tours would have been helpful, as some were different than expected, and it would have been nice if tickets to certain sites, like the palaces in Sintra, were included.
Good job to all the assigned tour guides, driver for smooth daily trip aside from below:
1. Should anticipate closure of some highlights stated in the itinerary since holiday are fixed, should be move to other especially to the museums that is very essential to us and we are expecting this- Vatican Museum,BMW museum in Germany, London museums and changing guards.
We were disappointed with the limited English spoken by the guide particularly in Morrocco but also in Portugal. We always understood what was going on but we felt we missed out on extra information that could have been interesting. We also were not aware of the flexibility of travelling with this company. We did not realise we could have travelled on to Porto for example so we organised this transfer ourselves We also did not do one of the optional tours and had to find out own way back to the hotel. We felt this was rather poor. We had booked the Fado tour in Lisbon but this was not discussed with anyone and we were just told it was cancelled without any consultation?? Otherwise an overall enjoyable trip
