Spain City sightseeing Trips

I found the itinerary for our Best of Spain and Portugal Tour with Patrick Davis to be exceptional! I appreciated the balance of visiting cities and traditional tourist sites integrated with expieriences in small towns and with family businesses like the olive oil company in Alfartanejo and port producers at the Cava Wine House. I loved having dinner in a family home in Alfartanejo, and I so appreciated the information from local guides like Sergio at the Prado, Lidon in Valencia, and Amada in Barcelona. Patrick Davis was an incredible guide. He explained well the historical significance of the sites, the cities, and the small communities we were visiting, and he did so with stories and slide presentations that made the facts and the cultures we were experiencing come alive. He and our driver, Louis, worked as a team, and they cared for our group so well! Patrick paid attention to details like necessary accommodations and dietary preferences for each of us. He also cultivated a positive and trusting group dynamic. My tour with Insight was deeply enriched by his expertise as a tour guide and leader, and I will travel with Insight again, I'm sure, because of his level of care for the group and the quality of learning I experienced, along with fantastic accommodations and culinary experinces. I could go on, but I think I've made my point that this tour was a magificent experience, and I believe it was enhanced significantly by the quality and character of our tour leader and the local guides that we experienced.

Megan our tour guide was wonderful, she kept us informed on all of the places we went. We would definitely do another trip with her as our guide! I wish some of the places we visited in Spain and Portugal, we had more time in some and less time in others. An overnight stay in Toledo would be fabulous and more time in Evora. Less time at the museum “dos Coches” and more time being able to shop at some of the stores and explore in the places we visited. Favorite was Alhambra it was absolutely Amazing!

Our bus trip going from one country to the next with our co pilgrims and our tour in Fatima and Lourdes the history was unbelievable .My most favorite part was the Rosary and the procession in Lourdes

This itinerary provided such a rich and broad exposure to the culture, art, history, and citizens of Portugal and Spain. It touched on many of the most iconic architectural, and artistic aspect of your vast and colorful countries. We especially enjoyed gaining a deeper understanding of the agriculture and the farmers that continue the customs and knowledge of the various regions.

Our tour director Ana Rita and Driver Walid really made this experience an actual wonder! Apart from visiting all these beautiful locations they both did phenomenal job. Rita was kind, and took care of the slightest detail. Walid was very attentive to all the guests and worked hard to get us to our destinations quickly and safely. I travelled with my family of 8 and she kept us all organized and together so we would miss a step in this adventure

It was a great "highlights" reel of Spain, hitting all the major attractions, as well as adding in some interesting smaller experiences. There was enough variety so that it never felt like we were seeing "just another cathedral". Lots of culinary experiences, too, that made it feel like we were getting to know the culture of Spain alongside the history.
