What people love about Portugal and Spain Tours in May
- Iberian Explorer
The tour, the guide, and the coach driver were outstanding. Lots to see and learn. Regarding the accommodation in Madrid ie Nh Leganes hotel, that was the worst hotel e Sr. It was smelly, outdated, far from downtown, nothing around there. It is located in an industrial part with no access to anything. The food was horrible as as the room. It should be scat h out the tour. It is an embarrassment to trafalgar.
- Spain, Portugal & Morocco
Transportation great, accommodations all very good, food was exceptional , countries of Spain. Portugal,and Morocco, breathtaking and a photographers dream which I am, but the most outstanding part of this most memorial tour was with out a doubt our tour director JOHN SHAW. He was passionate , knowledgeable,extremely ,competent in his duties, and honestly cared about all of his clients. It would not have been the same trip with out him. Genuine compliments to the person in your company that hired him. Reluctant to go on another tour, without John, for there surely would be a void, when you know you had the best it's hard to settle for less. I give him a standing ovation. It is because of him that I have told and will continue to tell friends about Cosmos, a company is nothing ,without the people behind it,and with a special person like him to represent you Cosmos will always be a winner with me.
- Fátima, Lourdes & Shrines of Spain - Faith-Based Travel
Jeorge is very nice, patient, helpful, accommodating, thorough, so so polite, proper language, so smart and has excellent knowledge in all the history of the catholic faith and all the places we went to. He is prompt and so friendly even when my group of 42 are chaotic at times. He took care of every little details of anything anytime and to anyone. He is truly and excellent TOUR GUIDE. God bless you and you family JEORGE. We miss you... take care .
