    the long bus rides were brutal at times but aside from that the tour was well planned and the guides were great. I will say as an only English speaking person at times it was hard to get what the guide was saying as she didn't pause a minute going from Spanish to English for my brain to catch what she was saying.

    Really enjoyed our 10day tour. Great tour guides, explanations were clear and in various languages. Toilet stops every 2 hours. Interesting locations along the way with local guides to provide information. Buses were very comfortable. Hotels were comfortable and in good proximity to shops and restaurants.

    My wife and I travelled on the 10-day Spain highlights. The itinerary for the first 8 days was good but the last 2 days was spent travelling on the bus. No stop in a village or town until we booked into the hotel in Seville. Then the next day back on the bus to Barcelona stopping o ly at roadside petrol stations.

    Overall the tour was great. The sites were amazing. Pros: the accommodations were great. Rooms were clean and spacious. The additional tours were fun and more informative than running in town on your own, highly recommend it. Cons: VPT bus had limited or no WiFi. Bus had no restroom. VPT tour guide tried her best to provide information about the locations but couldn’t be understood due to the lack of English translation and was flipping from Spanish to English with limited translations. VPT guide was not informative guide information. We had to keep asking questions about location information to include hotel info and local information for interested shopping. Overall I would recommend Highlights of Spain & Portugal but I would go with another travel agent not VPT.

    Our primary tour leader was kind and responsive and kept us going from place to place. Local tours were very good. Itinerary was great - there were a few spots (Trujillo and Cáceres) that I wish we had had more time in. They were designated lunch stops, but they were very interesting and we didn’t get to explore them much at all.It was a little disconcerting to have people join up and leave at several stops, until we were the ones who left and joined another group. Had not understood that this would be how the tour was conducted. Felt like a hop on hop off local trolley tour. Was disappointing in that. We were not able to establish as cohesive a group as we could have.

    We really enjoyed our trip! The only reason for the 4 stars was due to the gas station/stop locations. I think they could plan for better places to stop. Their buses are forced to stop by law every 1.5 hours or 2 hours. One of the stops didn't have toilet seats in the bathrooms. Food was not great at these locations. I really enjoyed our tour guides and we only speak English. I would definitely recommend this trip and tour company to others.
