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.

Amazing trip. The guides and drivers were top notch. All of the stops were carefully thought out and timing was perfect. I loved that I did not have to think about anything. They took care of it for me. I have already started looking at other Brendan Vacations to take in the near future.
