    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.

    Asked on June 14th, 2025

    Is the hotel included in the package on September 23? Or should we book our hotel in Madrid independently?

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      Can I carry 2 checked suitcases in my trip or can you arrange to send my 2 suitcases to Barcelona hotel?

    • VPT ToursOperatorWritten June 2025

      It is not specified that you will spend time in these cities, you just leave and arrive to them. Day 1, departure from our bus terminal (clearly the departure is from Madrid but no time is spent in this city). Last day in Barcelona, arrival to Barcelona and end of our services, no services included in this city.

    • VPT ToursOperatorWritten June 2025

      The maximum luggage allowance, due to bus luggage capacity, is one 20 kg suitcase plus a hand bag. We do not send passenger suitcases to other cities, you will have to arrange this directly with a transport company.

    Asked on June 4th, 2025

    1. How is the payment schedule? We should be fullypaid? Because we still need to apply for our Schengen visa with Portugal embassy. 2. How is the setup during lunch if not included in the package? Tour guide will take us to a place with many restaurants/fastfood and we can select on our own? 3. How is the set-up during the Holy Mass? Will we do them on churches on a regular mass schedule? 4. Can we bring priest/nun with us to facilitate the prayers/preaching while traveling? We are thinking he will take turns with the tour escort in speaking 5. Is this private tour for us? Or there are other groups joining us?

    Tour Details
    • VPT ToursOperatorWritten June 2025

      Regarding lunch, it depends on the itinerary. If it's on the road, the bus usually stops at a service area and gives free time to eat. Similarly, if you're in a city, like Burgos or Fátima, they will have free time to have lunch at any restaurant on your own. Dinners, if you choose the half-board option, will be served at the hotel.

      Regarding Masses, it would depend on availability at each location. You can bring a priest to celebrate Masses and prayers.

      As I indicated in the budget, it is a private group, without sharing services with other groups.

      We can quote you for transfers and room in Madrid and Barcelona before and after the tour. Please note that the tour departs from Madrid and ends in Barcelona, but services in these cities are not included. In order to send you a quote I need to know the dates of the tour.
