What people love about Spain Tours in December
- Andalucia & Toledo, 5 days on Tuesdays
Highly recommended! Frederick, Santos and the rest of the VPT Team indeed gave par excellence! We will surely book again! Gracias
- Discovery of Spain - 10 days
We just completed our first bus tour and our first time in Europe. We purchased the Premium Package and had the time of our lives. Safe bus drivers, very knowledgeable guides who also spoke good English. Safe, clean hotels with helpful staff. Buses are equipped with WiFi and charging ports! We purchase this tour to learn about Spain's culture and history and see some amazing sites, and we are extremely impressed with what they showed us. It was busy, but very fun! As our guide said, 'you are family for 10 days', and we met some great people who have become friends. The sun also shone for 9 of the 10 days, which was a great bonus. We will be booking another tour with you company in the years to come. Truly impressed. Thank you for all the hard work and organizing your company does so we may have the trip of a lifetime. J & C McGuire
- Charming Spain - 9 Days
Enjoyed the trip. Guide Natalie did a great job. Hotel standard was variable Coach and drivers were first class. Easter interfered with our planned programme a bit but no matter. We saw a lot in a short time and covered a lot of country. Conversely left places feeling we had not spend enough time there. Gracias
