Fully Guided Tours & Trips in Portugal and Spain
Lisbon carries a soft, faded charm, with Fado drifting through its older streets after dark. Up the coast toward Porto, the air turns saltier and the pace feels slower. The Camino paths around Viana pass through forest and sand, and by the time Santiago Cathedral comes into view, the whole journey seems to gather into one quiet, meaningful place.

Really enjoyed the first part in Spain and Portugal, helped especially by the guide. The Moroccan guide was a disappointment, Chefchouen and Fes wonderful, not sure why we went all the way to Marrakech for more of the same, and the tired hotel didn’t help. So pleased the group was a fantastic bunch. We had a ball in spite of other things.

Hello Tour Radar, I went on a 21 day tour of Spain, Portugal and Morocco. Before I go any further, I DO NOT wish this review to be used in any market or advertising fulfillment piece. The tour was excellent and fit my goals perfectly. I wanted to get an overview of western Spain, Portugal and Morrocco so that I could come back and spend longer in my preferred destinations on another occasion. Also excellent was Javier, the VPT guide for Spain and Portugal. He went above and beyond to make sure that it was an excellent experience. I loved his organizational detail. The Morocco guid (Hassan) was not as good but I believe this can be explained by the fact that he had just come off a knee operation and was always in a lot of pain. He tried his best. Not so good - I was on a tour with people who signed up through Wing Buddy and they had a different contract than I (TourRadar). This meant that on the last day, back in Madrid, they went on a panoramic tour whereas I was not allowed. What company would start and end a tour in Madrid, but not allow me to discover Madrid. Seems very weird. Wing Buddy's printed itinerary was more comprehensive than Tour Radar's. Some of the meal inclusions were different and a couple of days in Morocco turned out to be different also. My biggest complaint turned to have nothing to do with VPT, Wing Buddy or Tour Radar. It was about my fellow tourist. Some were racist or at the very least xenophobic, another sub group banded together to make sure they got all the experiences before other members and there was tension between English speakers and Spanish speakers. All in all, my biggest disappointment was the behavior of other members of the group. By the way, I can suggest some good people who could design a reliable and valid survey for you because there is very little about this survery that is valid or relaible. Let me know.

This is our second time with Eskapas and the trip was great! We had an amazing time! Everything went so smoothly. I loved the rich history of Spain, Portugal and Morocco; so interesting to learn of the melding of cultures and religions. The architecture and the landscape were spectacular! Hotels were OK, food&wine was great and our local guides Roberto and Maslam were amazing. We definitely had a great time.
