What people love about Portugal and Spain Tours for Young Adults
- Spain & Portugal: Flamenco & Tapas
I honestly loved this tour and will definitely be doing another tour with this company again. While I would have liked more time in each location to see more but the introduction tours were great to get an idea of what to do if I had nothing planned. Food and activity recommendations were also great. While it was nice to do things with the group, I really liked having the ability to do things on my own without it feeling like I'm being rude to others in the group. Communication regarding group plans could be better though but that could be said of both the travelers and the CEO.
- San Fermin Running of the Bulls: Opening Ceremony from Lisbon
Running of the bulls with stoke was amazing! The campsite was so much fun! Food was amazing even the tents were comfortable. Such a fun time and so well organised. Cant reccomend it enough!!
