The tour in general has been a very pleasant experience, the hotels were fabulous, the bus and its driver unbeatable, the guide very attentive all the time, to put some recommendation to improve the local guides, who were not up to par and the rates of Portugal that should have informed before, otherwise, what has been said, and most importantly, excellent hotels, excellent driver, and all the cities we have visited, we will repeat the experience.Show more
