Honest insights from past guests on our Local culture Portugal tours
Maria K. | Traveled in December
It was absolutely wonderful to be on this tour thru Spain and Portugal. I like Sevilla with its old town and cathedral, but I was mesmerized by Cordoba an old Mosque - Cathedral and 2000 years old Roman bridge we walked thru. I also loved Toledo that I visited 20 years ago, but it looked to me much better. Barcelona stole my heart - Sagrada Familia is build up and gorgeous. Spanish People are wonderful to be with - warm, funny and happy, the food is delicious - paella and the restaurants are great. Forgot about Valencia - old town and modern Art and Science Center built by Santiago Calatrava (Oculus in New York City is his as well) Portugal is a bit different and people more reserved. I was happy to be there and see Columbus' and Vasco De Gama's graves. Great tour, recommend to all.

Would like to see a side trip to Fatima as an option since we are already very close in Lisbon. If it is an option people that are not interested can always have other options available. Visit of historical site were very interesting to me such as Peniscola, Valencia, Sevilla, Alhambra, Cordoba, Madrid, Lisbon, Belem and many more.

My first time with Collette tours and my first trip to Spain& Portugal. Everything was so well organized, excellent local tour guides and our tour manager Luis was the best, always very helpful and very knowledgeable. Our tour bus was new and comfortable and our bus driver Carlos was the best, excellent driver! I really enjoyed my trip! Will be using Collette again for my next tour.
