It gave me an idea of places I'd like to re-visit. I was pleasantly surprised at how much of Spain we actually covered.

My husband and I loved our Portugal- Spain tour. There was plenty of free time and all of the group adventures were wonderful. Our CEO Beatriz Oubel went above and beyond to help every person on the tour. She was knowledgeable, helpful and never showed any signs of stress for the entire 21 days. She made the entire vacation better. We will definitely search out tour with her as CEO. Susan MendesShow more

We had an amazing trip. We enjoyed learning about the two countries we visited and our CEO's were both exceptional at their job. The number of historical places we visited was amazing and the cities themselves absolutely delightful. We left Portugal and Spain with much more knowledge of their history, culture and food. We loved every minute of the experience - even dragging our suitcases around and travelling by taxi, bus and train enabled us to experience the countries and their people from all angles. We walked a lot and in doing that could really get a feel for the places we visited. Thank you!Show more
