What people love about Portugal Tours from Madrid
- Madrid and Lisbon
Please take into account that your categories may not account for my experience. My troubles commenced on the morning of day three when I was waiting in the hotel reception for the pick-up for the half-day Lisbon tour which I had been informed by the guide was scheduled for 9 am. At 9.15 I was told by reception that the guide had arrived at 8am and left at 8.12. The problem was that the time I was given by the tour guide was Spain time which is based on the hour earlier than Portugal. Reception said that they called me at 8.11am. Yes, they did; I answered and there was no response. I assumed it was a wake-up call to which, in each day previous, I had responded but never had a voice response. So when I got a second call a couple of minutes later, I picked up and set down the receiver. Following the reception information, I spent some time ringing Eurpopamund and waiting for a response; being informed to ring back 15 mins later to speak to an English communicator... In short, two hours later I was making my own way towards a hop-on-off bus ticket. In the meantime, the tour guide had been contacted and indicated that I would be picked up to join the transfer to the delegated Lisbon destination that evening. Guess what... I arrived at the hotel reception at 6.26pm. Approximately, 10 mins later the hotel reception said that the guide had come and gone at about 6.27pm!! I made my own way. So day 4 was a shambles as far as the official tour is concerned. I managed but experienced disappointment and pressure. When I sign up for tours it is due to the appeal of local expertise - having others to organise and know what to highlight. I also like the social interaction of tours. I missed that on day 4 and who knows the extent to which there was contact with day 5. I missed that on day 4 at least. For that reason, I wish to receive a refund. I am happy to leave that to your discretion for now but will correspond further pending outcome.
