    Very nice places and hotels I think we lost a lot of time in Fatima almost 4 hours for nothing and in Caceres a spectacular place just 1 hour. I would like to highlight and salute the guide Javier from VPT. But perhaps it is not necessary so luxurious hotel but well located.

    In my opinion, they should review the length of stay in important places. For example, in San Sebastian we arrived shortly before dinner at the hotel and the next day we left early, we didn't even have a tour of the city. Optional excursions were taken away for no reason.

    Frederick was awesome! Please nominate him for guide of the year! He was organized and clear, giving us much information every step of the way. We knew where to be, when to be there, what to bring, what we were seeing and doing, plus we learned a lot along the way. My first guide, Julio Cesar, really none of the above. He's not quite ready to be a lead guide yet. This is why I reduce one star, and should do more.

    The 1st leg of our tour in Spain was OK. Our guide didn't keep us as prepared for the next day as Frederico, our guide in Portugal, did. He was Excellent. We were kept well-informed about weather and the schedule in detail by Frederico. As a general recommendation, you need to have buses with a restroom aboard. Overall, the tour was very good.

      Ahmed

      TravelerWritten April 2023

      OK. I finally have things in order. I want to make sure I have the correct information. Day 1 of the tour is October 8th. The Starting Point is Barcelona 505 Hotel in Barcelona. Day 12 starts in Lisbon but we would be staying in Lisbon that night rather than heading to Madrid. The cost of the additional night in Lisbon is 160 USD for a double room(2 people). What is the cost/person for this trip? What information do you need from us? There would be 2 couples(4 people).

    • VPT ToursOperatorWritten April 2023

      Pick up point is at CATLONIA BARCELONA 505 AT 07:45AM. Please be there 10 minutes before.
