A lot of history and beautiful sights throughout the itinerary while topped by a very enjoyable and entertaining dinner the last night that the entire tour group was together.
Itinerary Barcelona to Madrid thro' Gibraltar and Portugal was good overall. Major historic wonder spot like Alhambra could be included. Salamanca could get more time to explore. Coach was very good. Some hotels were disappointing , could be better picked, including its location.
So many different trips to choose from . All the the drives were reasonable driving times.
Two many places things packed into the trip
Lots of History be prepared for lots of walking and stair climbing.
Ton's of information, lot's of walking but definitely worth every step! At times you feel a little rushed only because you want to see more before you move onto the next adventure! People, food, wine, sangria, laughter, new friends all worth the trip ... the landscape's, castle's, historical places are amazing.
Loved the itinerary
Wonderful bus that was comfortable. Most hotels were nice, some were not as up to par. Organized and fun.
The Spain & Portugal cities/quaint towns that you visit are stunning. This tour takes you to places that you would never know to visit (as a general tourist). The information provided by our tour guide, prior to reaching each destination was so informative. The local guides also provided so much knowledge about their unique city. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see all of the beautiful places as a "tapas" - taste of each city - experience.
Perfect jam packed itinerary. Lots of quaint towns and big cities included. Good value for money. Hotels were clean. Breakfast is okay nothing great but helps you get a fill and start rhe busy days. Coach is very comfortable and driver takes lots of care to keep it cool and clean.
The itinerary was thoughtfully designed, encompassing a wide array of stops and towns within the allotted time. However, I would suggest that a bit more time could have been devoted to certain sites of significant importance, particularly to locations like Fatima, where the spiritual and historical depth warrants a more immersive experience.
