Spain & Portugal Explorer

This Spain/Portugal tour entailed an extensive amount of time on the bus which I feel could have been improved by eliminating some destinations (eg., Andorra, Obidos, and a winery visit). I'd rather be able to spend more time in the main destinations than spend an hour or two in Andorra which entailed having to double back to the main route afterwards. But our tour leader, Gustavo was very good at keeping things on track. He was very genuine and thoughtful with everyone. He shared with us the history of Portugal more than anywhere else which made it quite interesting.

Gustavo was my tour guide 7 years ago ""Best of Europe"" and I was so happy when the announcement came out for my recent Spain and Portugal tour. Gustavo is the absolute BEST tour guide who goes above and beyond for every single guest. He is very passionate about his job and not many people are as considerate, empathic and kind as he is. A true gem for Expat Explore. Paolo and Joel were our drivers and were also just as helpful, courteous and kind. Wonderful tour and I would absolutely book with Expat again in the future!

Love the Spain itinerary! No other company has this extensive coverage! It is intense, but memorable. The Portugal part was also great. Would like spend more time in Lisbon, considering that the free day usually spent in Sintra. Special thanks to our drivers Julio and Marcio for their hard work and keeping us safe. And, of course, our tour leader Emiliano - he brought so much fun and became real head of the ""family"" - that is how he called us.

Enjoyed it

The best experience of an organized tour in Europe I ever did. We were a true family and our guide a total star. He is the best.

Had a great time

This was our 2nd tour with Expat and we were not disappointed. Emilliano was an amazing tour leader, with a great sense of humor. He went out of his way to make our trip a pleasant one. We got to see lots of great towns and had a fantastic mix of fellow travellers.

Had a fun and amazing experience exploring Spain and Portugal with a group of strangers who became friends. It's exhausting but it's all worth the memories!!!

I traveled alone and was assigned 2 different roommates as it was different tours. The program was packed and sometimes was tiring but I would not ask for less. The itinerary was well thought off and planned so would not change anything except to spend more time in Andoora as I felt that was a bit rushed and there was still so much more I wished to see.

Tour leader Pauline Butler went way out of her way to make the tour an enjoyable experience.
