What people love about Portugal and Spain Tours in May
Captivating counties, fantastic food, great guides and lots of adventures. The tour is designed to give you free time along the way so do your research before traveling. Transportation includes planes, trains, busses and shuttles so bring your flexibility with you and most importantly there’s lots of walking through difficult streets with lots of people. Fantastic adventure.

Overall extremely pleased with the professional staff, both Celia the Tour Director and Victor our driver. The trip was well thought out and provided great opportunities to experience cities we would never have visited on our own.
