    Very informative tour

    05-Dec-2022

    Very informative, creative and charming guide Sol made the experience one to remember. Highly recommend to give you an overview of the area.

    Andrew W  

    Great Scenery

    08-Aug-2022

    Spectacular scenery. Lovely lunch. The two villages were lovely to see. The stops were short. Best to pre-plan a walk through the villages beforehand to make the most of the time there. The guide was very informative and helpful

    Sandra F.  

    Great tour! Northern of Spain, Galicia & Portugal (Multi country)

    15-Nov-2022

    We took an 16-day tour with this firm, and everything exceeded our expectations. The sights we saw were breathtaking, and our tour guides were outstanding. We went on an English/Spanish tour, and the majority of our group was from South America and spoke Spanish. The extra package that includes lunch and select entertainment is highly recommended. Thank you very much for this opportunity!

    Grace B  

    Down South, Self-drive, couldn't be better

    16-Oct-2022

    Loved the self-drive tour, gave us the ability to stay on our own schedule. Locations were great with lots to explore in each town as well as along the drive. Ronda and Seville were our favorite! We had the ability to stop while on the road to wine and olive oil taste too, as well as explore Castillo de Almodovar, a beautifully restored castle near Seville where they shot several scenes of Game of Thrones. Location of hotels were good too, easy to get to so you didn't have to drive through some of those difficult narrow one way streets. Only issue was having to pay for parking at some of the hotels, this should have been part of the package. Other than that, it was a great tour!

    Steve G
