This trip is very well planned and highly organized. All sites chosen for visits are all well worth visiting. The Guide, paying extra attention to fine details our tour, was highly knowledgeable and extremely organized. She conveyed a vast trove of information in an easy to absorb and entertaining way. Tour's driver, a nicely dressed, confident and careful driver, created an atmosphere of safety and comfort all through the trip. I enjoyed this tour very much. I believe this was a result of a combination of good planning, precise execution and commitment by staff (our guide and the driver) to produce a successful tour. It should be mentioned that other members of the tour also made a huge contribution to my enjoyment of the tour.
This trip was a very efficient experience that allowed us to visit so many places that would’ve been very difficult to do on our own. Good mix of different cultural experiences. We had a great time! We especially loved the cave ***** flamenco show. We enjoyed traveling to Fatima, port wine visit and the be my guest visit to a horse ranch. So many places it’s difficult to rate them. We enjoyed everything!
Every place we traveled was excellent! Timing was good with downtime and the next place. We had wonderful guides and our bus driver and director were great! Love Trafalgar! It was our fourth trip with Trafalgar.
今回は4回目のバスツアーで、今までの中で特に一番楽しかったです。 勿論今までのツアーに不満があった訳ではありません。 今までとの違いは史跡や宮殿など昔からあるものを訪れるだけでなく今現在も生活をされているところにお邪魔して普段では経験ができないような体験をさせてもらったことです。 例えば洞窟で生活されているところへ訪ねたり、個人の歴史ある牧場での昼食、今までにはなかった新鮮な感覚でした。 もう一つ感じたのはトイレ休憩をこまめにとってもらい年寄りには大変ありがたい配慮でした。 Mike、本当にありがとう。またいつか偶然にも会うことが出来れば幸いです。
Great trip. Tour director did a great job.
This was a very busy itinerary with a fair amount of walking. We were unfortunate to encounter a heat wave which made the walking a challenge at times. There was a wide variability in the quality of the hotels and of the buffet breakfasts offered. The tour director was excellent- very knowledgeable, with a fun sense of humour, and she related well with each of the guests.
We found the trip very fast paced, probably because we wanted to take in all the excursions & experiences. Some of the dinner experiences were extremely rushed & so loud that we couldn't visit across the table. The food at some of the recommended restaurants was below par. On the positive side, the hotels were more than adequate, our driver Paulo is extremely skilled & we felt safe at all times in the comfortable coach. Our tour director Carlos is a very experienced & knowledgeable guide. He was very diligent in keeping us all together. We enjoyed our time with him. This being our 2nd Trafalgar tour, we will highly recommend you to our friends.
