This is a wonderful tour. It does live up to its name. There is a constant barrage of opportunities to try different food and wines. In between all that is the ambiance of old world architecture, history, and art. The hotels are extremely good. The motor coach is very comfortable. The main roads are excellent, and the drives are relatively short. Our guide, Jose, was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and entertaining. It is a very active tour. There is a lot of walking; much on cobblestone streets with steps and inclines. There is not a lot of free time, except for Salamanca.

There were 22 in our group, 16 associated with a Sun City community and 6 who joined on their own. A very congenial group! Our tour manager, Elena Planas, was top of her class! So prepared each day with information on our stops/tours, all touched by her wonderful humor. She balanced each day with great finesse. Highlights were a dinner with Fado music in Lisbon - and eating pastiche de nata (or Belem...sooo good!); visiting a one-woman olive oil production in a small village in Spain (sooo impressive is she!); Salamanca; bullfighting museum; Douro Valley (stunning!); walking a small bit of the Camino (wonderful guide!) and sharing all of this with our dear friends. A wonderful trip. Shout out to Collette for helping with our return flight - we missed our connection back to the US. Not a problem with Collette!
