Itinerary great,but need to stay more than one night in places.One night can put a little stress with packing and unpacking. Allowing more time for individual shopping.

Guillia put a great self-drive tour together for us and Susana looked after us as we travelled.
(Even when we got lost)
The car and accommodation was good and the guides patient and informative.
Only issue we had was parking in small villages, garages, and cities.
Apart from the parking we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, thank you.

Very busy itinerary but we got to see and so lots of activities. The coach was very comfortable. Our bus wasn’t full so we had lots of extra room which made a big difference especially because you spend a lot of time on the coach. Some of the hotels didn’t have the best location and some were not the best for cleanliness.
