18th October 2024Review ratingOur guide, Eddie gave us excellent synopsis of the history of every villiage and places of interest for example, the 'birth' of Portugal and our visit to fatima. She was helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. It was memorable that I plan to do back roads tour of Spain in 2026

17th October 2024Review ratingGreat hotels..lovely having suitcases collected and delivered. Great activities...always delivered more than promised. Edwina and Melo were absolutely the dream team, friendly, knowledgeable and good communicators. The tour bus was very comfortable and safe. I enjoyed rhe "backroads"..much nicer than motorways. You found places for me that I would not have discovered on my own.

17th October 2024Review ratingThe service was excellent. Eddie, the tour guide went out of her way to ensure we had a great experience. Of concern was having long periods of time in places that close down while we are there, lunch for 2 hours & shops & museums, places of interest close from 12:30 - 2:30. The included experiences were really interesting & told a lot about Portugal. Our bus driver was excellent, greying us with a cheerful smile each day & joining with the group.
