VPT Tours commented on this reviewThank you very much for sharing your comments. We are delighted that you enjoyed the tour. We hope you will choose us again for your next trip.Trip date: September 2025 - HWHarry· June 16th, 2025As a very senior couple having traveled the world many times and Spain often, this 8 day tour would be amongst our top five. We were the only non-Spanish speaking people amongst a dozen from South America. We were rarely left out and our guide's English was good, thoughtful and interesting Our driver was five star. A little gathering organised for a celebration of a big O wedding anniversary was off the regular plan and well managed. The visit to the mussel farm was a highlight extra and should not be missed even if you don't like scrumptious shell fish. On this tour there is so much beauty in the history and architecture of the cathedrals and ancient centres for visiting and admiring. Such art and atmosphere is priceless where as shopping can be done online. Not our first time with Tourradar. We'll join them again for sure.Show moreTrip date: June 2025
Amy· June 3rd, 2025Great tour. I am impressed with all I saw and all of the experiences the tour offered. Our guide Vanessa was wonderful. She is passionate about her job and was great coordinating all the aspects of the tour. I felt I received great value. I would definitely consider another tour with your company.Show moreTrip date: May 2025- EBEdmundo Gerardo· June 1st, 2025Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishVery good in general but in each city they are adding passengers to occupy the seats of the coach that are already occupied. There is a lack of logistics in this operation, in Zaragoza we had to wait more than an hour for the other group coming from Madrid to get everyone together.Show moreTrip date: May 2025
- MLMarcia· May 5th, 2025The tour exceeded my expectations. The guide Helena & driver Sergio were amazing, both of them always smiling & very happy & available to help all of our group who were Spanish and English. We visited a lot of places and had such a fun time with people from all over the world. I just loved it. The only criticism I would have is with regards Oviero. This city is not a good stop, there are better cities to visit & the hotel, Iberik Santo Domingo Plaza is definately not a 4*. The city & hotel are just not up to the standard of all the other places you offer. I would suggest looking for a different city & hotel.Show moreTrip date: April 2025
- MMoana· May 1st, 2025Great trip with very good tour leader. Time in some places could have been longer, San Sébastien and Bilbao, but overall very good.Show moreTrip date: April 2025

Asked on May 31st, 2025Is it possible to hook some of your trips together? I would like to spend 3 weeks in Portugal and 5 weeks in Spain in September and October. I could not rent a car and cannot take luggage across train tracks. I am interested in staying as a single in superior hotels where I do not have to climb stairs. History, museums, churches, operas and significant geographic points are my interests. I do not mind being on my own.

- VPT ToursOperator•Written December 2024
I need to know if you really want to do just 4 nights in Madrid and 4 nights in Barcelona, or if you want to do the tour and add those 4 extra nights at the beginning and end of the tour. Then please tell me what kind of visits you want to do, just within the city or do you want to go out to nearby cities as well.
