We had a wonderful trip to Spain and Portugal with Trafalgar! We saw so many amazing places in two weeks! We were happy we opted for all the Optional Experiences. We were able to see and learn so much more about each location from the tour guides.
They were very knowledgeable and spoke passionately about their tours, along with adding their own humor to the stories. Our tour director, Javier, was excellent! He was like our father away from home. He cared for us, watched over us and guided us from beginning to end. He was a fun-loving man who made us laugh all the time! I cannot say enough good things about Javier. He made our trip extra memorable! João was an amazing driver! He kept us safe on the roads, he was timely with pick up and drop offs. Worked so hard to unload our luggages behind the scenes.
His driving and parking skills were superb! They made a great team! This is our second tour with Trafalgar and we love this company! We're already booked for our next adventure with Trafalgar!

The tour of Spain and Portugal was fabulous with good hotels and food and lots of inclusions . Our travel co ordinator and driver were really good with friendly and professional care and great knowledge of the areas we visited. Other local guides were impressive too and the optional experiences were really enjoyable and worth doing. We had enough free time to do a bit of shopping too. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip!
