What people love about Portugal and Spain Tours for Seniors
- Iberian Explorer
Rachel was kind, helpful and intelligent. The local guides were interesting and informative. As well as eager to answer questions. The itinerary was very rushed with little written explanation of the time allowed for each excursion. Most disappointing of the entire trip, was the little time that was needed in Fatima.
- Fátima, Lourdes & Shrines of Spain - Faith-Based Travel
Cosmos coordinated Travel guide, Jorge Leitao, excellent in both organization and knowledge
- Iberian Discovery & Morocco
The only Place we didn't like was Tangier . Walking tour is a waste of time everything is closed the place is dirty in general , flies , roaches , trash everywhere. The Hotel Hilton was the only nice thing
