Budget Trips to Portugal

En General nos ha gustado el viaje. Los lugares que hemos visitado han sido hermosos. El primer dia habia una chica en silla de ruedas en Madrid, cuando la chica subio al autobus y trato de buscar asiento fue la ultima en subir y todos los asientos estaban ocupados con muletas iba la pobre recorriendo el autobus, mientras el autobus estaba en movimieto... hasta que empezamos a gritarle al guia para que parara el autobus pues la chica se iba callendo. La otra fue que en 2 dias consecutivos un grupo que venia en parejas se sentaron separados todos en ventanilla, dejandonos unicamente asientos en pasillo y sin la posibilidad de sentarnos con nuestra familia, al quejarnos con el guia, no hicieron nada. Al dia siguiente despues de una parada, ese mismo grupo entro al autobus antes y movio nuestras pertenencias de nuestros asientos para hacer lo mismo, sentarse todos en ventanilla. YO trate se sentarme al lado de una senora en un asiento libre de pasillo y la senora no me dejo sentarme ahi, puso su bolsa, al pedirle de favor si podia mover si bolsa para yo sentarme, pues era el unico asiento libre, la hija sentada enfrente empezo a gritarme que no me querian que yo me sentara al lado de la senora, que la senora queria ir ella sola en los 2 asientos, otro pasajero se dio cuenta y me hizo el gran favor de moverse junto a su esposo para que yo me pudiera sentar junto a mi hija, mientras los guias solo nos veian, hasta que me dirigi directo a los guias, lo unico que hicieron es hablar con todo el autobus para pedir cada quien se sentara donde venia. Nada agradable. Despues de esto nos cambiamos de autobus con un grupo de 6 otros pasajeros en Portugal y el viaje fue maravillosamente agradable con ellos.

Even though this was my first solo trip from London to home and back, I never felt alone, as the bus was my constant companion throughout the journey, along with my comfortable hotel stays. The trip was well-organized, with ample breaks and friendly, professional drivers who ensured a smooth and hassle-free experience from one destination to another. Despite traveling with people from different backgrounds and languages, I felt safe and welcomed, making new friends and enjoying a rich cultural exchange. The enthusiastic guides, full of energy and knowledge, provided engaging explanations, making every stop enjoyable without feeling exhausted or bored. The tour covered major destinations efficiently, with well-coordinated time management, caring guides fluent in English and other languages, and insightful local guides for in-depth exploration. Overall, the stay, coordination, and execution were excellent, and I look forward to booking another trip with Bookmundi. The experience was well worth the price, and I highly recommend it to my friends and family for their future travels.

Overall, the itinerary was excellent. I am happy that EuropaMundo listened to previous reviews and made this tour less hectic, and we got to actually enjoy each location and each stop. We did not feel rushed and the pace was appropriate. I like that we arrived to our hotels at reasonable hours and not at 10pm as in previous trips. I wished that mornings started at 8:30 and not before. We did have a few times that we were told to wait at 7:50 but the bus and Guide did not arrive until 30 minutes later, leaving 50 people anxiously waiting and unhappy. It is still very hard the changing of the people, leaving and joining every day, and the changing of guides. We did not like the baby on the bus. This is not appropriate. Enough that we had over 10 small annoying kids. The Hotels were excellent except in Lisbon where we could hear the airplanes all night long and did not sleep, because the hotel was at the airport without proper insulation. Overall, we enjoyed the tour very much. The Guide Javier was excellent, as well as all the local experts Raphaela in Lisbon was exceptional- please pass this to her.

Good tour guide. Too much adding pax and changing bus. Cause confusions when original passengers are not in the bus and additional passengers came onboard and occupy seats used by existing passengers. Hotels rooms are ok but a couple of them have poorly maintained bath facilities. A couple of hotels are not conveniently located.

How we were well taken care of Still would like to know how we could have gotten our expensive meds returned to us. We tried our best to get them but never did.

Overall everything was amazing; Prague and Amsterdam were my favorite cities I would not want to stop at Lake Como again though; the area we stopped looked dirty, wasnt very interesting, and the available toilets were HORRIBLE no privacy/glass doors people could see through; squat toilet; urine covering the floor
