I am planning to bring my two children along with me (ages 6 and 10) and wanted to reach out ahead of time to inquire about your pricing for young guests. Could you please let me know whether you offer a discounted rate for children, or if they are required to pay the full per-person price?

Children: Under 4 years are free of charge, all expenses incurred to be paid directly on site. Children from 4-7 years sharing double room with 2 adults, 25% discount. Young: under 18, 5% discount.

Please can you inform me if this tour will definitely run? What are the optional trips available and costs? Finally, what time would we arrive in Madrid at the end of the tour? Would I need to book a hotel for that night or make an evening flight?

The departure you are enquiring about is guaranteed. Arrival time in Madrid is approximately 17:30, but we cannot guarantee an exact arrival time, as it depends on factors external to VPT such as traffic. The tour ends at our offices located at Calle Ferraz 3.

Could you please provide more information on the itinerary, inclusions, and accommodations, especially regarding the suitability for eclipse viewing in August 2026?

You can find the itinerary information by clicking on the name of the tour. Regarding the eclipse in August, we do not have any specific schedule or details.

Would like to reserve 8 spots, if possible, so that I can have some time to sign up a group of friends to travel on this tour on this date. Is this possible to do? Also, if I do not need all the spaces, can I release the spaces back to you?

Although we had a very good hotel in San Sebastián, we were not given an opportunity or enough time to see the old town. Our tour guide was quite disorganised in giving instructions. She would give schedules 2 days in advance and mix it up with current schedules or instructions. It was disappointing that she said when we were already in Santiago de Compostela, she mentioned it almost always rains there. And indeed it rained. But most of us who brought umbrellas and raincoats had them packed in our luggages.Show more

When i book by 8 days tours to North of Spain and Portugal, i did not know that if you have less than 12 people in a tour you'll not have a tour guide until i started the tour. You need to notify this in the TOUR RADAR program. I really expected to know about the place we were going. The same affected the optional tours which we could not do: excursion to the Rías Atlas through typical villages as Pontedeume, Betanzos, etc., and the excursion to Santa Tecla and Valenza do Miño across the Portuguese border. The short stop we did to admire the Guggenheim Museum we were notified that Mondays are closed but it was opened when we arrived there, otherwise we could easily have visited the museum in an hour we stayed there. I wanted to request at least some refund for not having all the program mentioned in the TOUR RADAR.Show more

I enjoyed the spontaneous feel of this tour, however, I would have wished that some of the more traditional aspects had been followed. We weren't offered some of the promoted optional excursions, e.g., the trip on the Douro River. And there were no surprise treats such as a taste of an iconic food during a mandatory stop. (In another tour by Radar, the group tasted churros and chocolate, for instance). In addition, our delightful, benighted bus driver had no idea where he was going. Our tour leader had to give directions from his phone's GPS. I'm really not sure whose fault that might be. On the other hand, the hotels at which we stayed were stellar. The sights themselves were handled well. Through knowledgeable local tour guides and the stunning beauty of the northern bus route, we saw thrilling scenery and historic places of importance. Although our tour leader didn't run a terribly tight ship, he was nevertheless charming, flexible, and responsive. Above all, we had a good time!Show more

At the moment we are maintaining the price on some of our programmes until we have the new prices, but the North of Spain tour may change a little bit the itinerary, so you have to wait until we have the new brochure ready.
