What people love about Portugal and Spain Tours for Seniors
- Lisbon & Northern Spain
Great trip and fortunately no rain for the entire trip' just a brief shower while on the coach. Our guide was great and a very nice person. The flamingo extra tour was a little pricey and the food at both the Fado show and flamingo was mediocre. The tours were very informative and our driver was great
- Iberian Explorer
This is a great tour to see so much of Spain and Portugal in a limited period of time. Our travel director Pascal was amazing and made sure that everyone's needs were met.
- Fátima, Lourdes & Shrines of Spain - Faith-Based Travel
This was my first tour but I had a wonderful experience. The tour director, John Shaw, was well organized and had deep historical knowledge of the places we visited. He also arranged a cheese tasting and other delicacies for us to sample. He brought a feeling of great camaraderie among all of the people in the tour bus. By the end of the tour, we had all met people with whom we can continue with strong friendships. The others in the group who had more tour experiences also confirmed John was an exceptional tour guide. Wish him more success in the future.
