My wife had fractured her foot. The guide and driver were excellent in tailoring the trip so we got to see the critical sites while limiting the walk. Sagrada Familia tour was outstanding. The old city was fascinating.

Montserrat is an amazing place. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and was excellent at sharing his knowledge. Given my wife's mobility issue he gave us options and recommended the cable car which limited the walking and turned out avoided traffic delays due to a pilgrimage group. He was tremendous. the winery tour took us to a beautiful winery where the tour was just the right amount of time and provided us a insight into the regions winery trade. A very pleasant morning.

The hotel was just what I expected; centrally-located, beautiful, clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was excellent!!

The hotel was so elegant and absolutely beautiful! The staff was friendly and the breakfast was excellent!!

Our excursion to Sintra and Pena Palace was made exceptional by our guide, Miguel. He was like a walking encyclopedia and had an impressive depth of knowledge about everything we saw. He answered all our questions and was so informative. It was a pleasure to be guided by someone so well-versed and intelligent.

The Flamenco night was a lot of fun. We had front row seats, which was fantastic, as it felt like we were right in the middle of all the action. It was an entertaining and captivating experience.

The guided Tuk-Tuk tour in Lisbon was a great choice, especially with all the hills in the city. It gave us a wonderful overview and made navigating the city on foot later much easier. The Tuk-Tuk took us to all the must-see places, and it was convenient to know how to revisit them afterward.

The Barcelona Highlights tour was fantastic! Our guide, Ramon, was incredibly enthusiastic and made the experience so special. He had so much energy and excitement, it was contagious. He truly loved what he was doing and it showed in the way he guided us.

Wonderful breakfast. Attentive staff. Convenient location.

Our tour guides were so sweet and kind and informative.

A very nice hotel right in the middle of everything. We were there during the busiest Pride events in 2025: parade, music, dance parties until 2:30 am. The black out curtains and nice thick windows ensured that sleeping was no problem. If you're looking for a quieter or slightly more residential location, this might not be the right choice for you. It was a great vantage point for exploration throughout the city. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

We stayed in one of the 3 bedroom villas. The size of the villa and views exceeded our expectations. It was nice to have a common area and some room to spread out. The views from the terrace were absolutely stunning. The breakfast/dinner area offers gorgeous views of the water and the medieval city on the other side of the beach. The pool and adjacent beach area are great. The hotel is easily accessible to the main part of town but a little set apart, so not too busy or loud. Lovely and highly recommended.

An excellent hotel in the Eixample neighborhood. I really appreciated the location--very close to many historic sites and the Gothic Quarter--but also in a residential area. It felt less touristy but still very close to everything we wanted to see. Clean and absolutely met all of our travel needs. Would highly recommend.

A wonderful overview of Madrid, hitting all the necessary highlights with some funny and informative stories along the way.

The hotel is in a good central location yet is very quiet at night. The buffet breakfast was ample and varied. The desk staff were very pleasant and helpful.

This was our favourite hotel of our 5 week trip. We loved the view from our room of the Alhambra and the large bathroom. The lady who made me "dos huevos fritos" for breakfast each day is a really lovely person!

We really enjoyed this full day excursion and it was easy to navigate the train travel from Seville to Cordoba. Our tour guide, shared her enthusiasm for Cordoba and her extensive knowledge of Moorish occupation in Spain. Visiting the Mezquita was one of our trip highlights.

This was great night with delicious food and wine! We could not eat all of the food! The waiters were pleasant. The walk up the hill was challenging but the effort was worth it.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tapas tour! The guide introduced us to some tapa that we might not otherwise have chosen and the company of other people was fun! The food was plentiful as was the drinks. It was a great night.

Our tour guide was terrific and her passion for The Alhambra shows. The gardens and the building are beautiful and we loved out visit.

It was lovely to be out on the ocean on the catamaran. Even though the weather was cold & windy we had a great time and we got quite close to the coastline at times. The staff were very pleasant and the simple but fresh lunch was tasty and satisfying.

This was our best tour of our trip. Paulo is one fabulous tour guide and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in his company. (I mean who doesn't connect with a man who loves spreadsheets!) His knowledge about Portugal is immense and he answered all of our questions. We had a great lunch at his family restaurant where we were greeted like family and had the best meal of our trip - the famous Bacalhau à Brás. It was a thoroughly and enjoyable day!

It was pouring with rain when we did this walking tour with Megan but she was completely unphased by that and we walked on regardless. It was a great introduction to Spain & Madrid and we really enjoyed it.

Our guide combined a walk of hilly Granada with local history, tapa tasting and flamenco. We liked going into the local bars and trying tapa but I could not eat some of it due to my dietary requirements. We got to the Flamenco quite late and were placed at the back of the room and we did not have a very good view of the dancers' feet. We did not realise that we were to eat after the Flamenco at 10.00 pm. We were too tired by then so said farewell to the guide and went to bed.

Jesus is a real gentleman and a lovely man! He is warm and kind and funny and we had a great day with him. He gave us some very useful driving tips .

We loved our guided tour of Seville and seeing the Alcazar was a real treat.

We are so glad we took this tuk tuk tour rather than try to walk it ourselves. We saw so much more that we would have if we had walked and the hills are exhausting. Our guide was knowledgeable and very friendly.

This was a really enjoyable tour. We not only enjoyed some great food and good wine, but we also explored the labyrinth of streets in the Alfama District; something we would not have had the courage to do on our own for fear of getting lost!

We loved this guided tour and the walk up the hill was made easy with the information stops. It was great that our tour guide is local and is actually a student at the University so we learnt a lot about the customs of the University and about Coimbra itself.

After some initial mix up with the location of the driver, the tour of Porto was really good and we even stopped for a shot of coffee on the route!

Our final guided tour of our 5 week journey in Spain & Portugal did not disappoint. Our driver was enthusiastic and engaged and the narration of our sights was entertaining. The itinerary was well planned and visiting the amazing Sagrada Familia was a tour highlight!

This was another fabulous experience and the tour guide was young and vibrant and full of enthusiasm for the pintxos of Bilbao. We went to some interesting places tucked away in local Plazas that we would otherwise have missed. The food was plentiful and delicious and the wines were fabulous and also plentiful. I really appreciated the effort that was made to cater for my food allergies.

Hotel and rooms are very beautiful and clean. The staff is wonderful and accommodating. Leo at the front desk was appreciated by my husband for a very helpful map outlined by Leo! The breakfast was spectacular and the outdoor area to sit at night was wonderful being with a group of six!

This hotel is located in the center of a very busy street, which has pluses and minuses. If being transported from the airport to the hotel you must pull your luggage up a steep hill to get to the hotel. Restricted times for traffic on this street. Rooms are accommodating but small in comparison to the two other hotels we stayed. There is no outside area to sit which we appreciated as a group of six. The rooms have less amenities than we found typical in our other hotels. Overall, this is a very nice hotel but, in a comparison, not the favorite of the three we stayed.

If you stay here, you will be amazed at the setting, the views, the outdoor areas to sit, relax, swim, spa, restaurant. You do not need to leave unless you want to. The staff do everything they can to make you feel special and meet your needs. If we were to pick a resort setting to get away and relax and be pampered, this hotel would be top of the list. We are a group of six on our trip to Portugal and not one in the group had a complaint. We did go out sightseeing on one of our days in Lagos, but 4 of our group said no thank you, we are not leaving here!! That speaks volumes

Our last night preflight staying at this airport hotel exceeded our expectations. Airport hotels do not have these same amenities and dining from our experiences. Very clean and well appointed, great staff.

Paulo Pires our guide made this excursion one not to be forgotten!! His knowledge, personality, engagement is exceptional. If we were to do any other excursions, we would seek Paulo out to guide us and make us feel as though we are off on a journey with a friend. We need to add his wife, Anita, as he calls the beautiful one, is equally a spectacular person and you feel the warmth of true Portuguese people. We had our lunch at her restaurant, and you will not be hungry when you are done eating!! Exceptional couple and family!

Our guide Celia was well versed in the history of Porto, made our walk a bit easier by knowing the streets to take. Porto as is Lisbon hills and cobblestone. She offered suggestions for the rest of our evening, where to eat more local, and a great Farmers Market that we went to the next day and which roads to take back to the hotel. We ate on the Riverfront and took the Funicular (cheated on the walk up the hill) to the top. Plus, a fun experience, never have been on one before. After many days of Lisbon and Porto walks, it was a welcome treat to not walk the hill.

Alex was a tremendous asset to our understanding of the history of Lisbon and took the time to allow each person in our group to be involved. He slowed the trip a bit when needed for rest period. When we completed our tour, he surprised us with a treat of Ginji, our first tasting,

Pedro had a wonderful line up of events for our day trip to the Douro Valley. This excursion is a must, a completely different experience and set of scenery. Small town stop for coffee/pastry onto our boat ride down the river, and off to two wineries'. One a large venue and one a small venue. Each beautiful. The lunch and people we met at the small winery gave you the feeling of the love that goes into the wine making process. The lunch was delicious and once again, lots of food.

We have been on Catamarans before, so we had an expectation of the type of boat we would be going on, but this boat was not quite what we were expecting. That being said, we enjoyed the trip, staff very knowledgeable and willing to answer questions for those seeking information. The ride and scenery we saw was amazing, looking back at the cliffs from the water is awesome. The lunch served was exceptional for serving on a boat. The staff a thumbs up.

I hate to do this review, but it is necessary. The jeep, not a jeep but rather a very old 1976 Nissan, dirty, and seating unacceptable. There were seats in second row for 3 tight fit, and 4 more of us had to sit in the rear, step up on a small plastic step he put on ground for us, as you hit your head leaning over to get into the back, and sit facing each other with no view out the windows, and knees touching each other. 8 people in the vehicle and one driver, Daniel, who did his best based on what he was given to drive us. He said the other two jeeps were in the shop. The vehicle emitted fumes, so you could not close windows, and you still smelled it. The people in the very rear could not hear anything the guide was sharing. The trip description did not mirror what we received. We were to have wine, Chorizo and bread when we sat for the sunset. We did not receive any of this, and when we returned to the hotel, I asked Daniel and he said no bread ever on Sunday, because the bakery was not open, and he did not know why his boss did not send him the wine. Honestly, I thought maybe our planned trip was subbed out to another company, but he said no. I, being the lead in this group of six, had very angry travelers, and all requesting money back for this excursion. I do not know what happened, but it was a sad that the last part of the trip had been wonderful until this excursion. They all wished they never got into the vehicle and remained at our beautiful hotel. We would like feedback on this situation. Thank you

Very accommodating and friendly staff, rooms were in good shape, breakfast good, bar good.

Beautiful place, nice rooms, good food. Wish we could have stayed there longer.

Great location, nice room, didn't stay there long enough to really experience anything but I would recommend it.

Nice place, lots of construction in front so hard to get to but over all good.

Nice Hotel, had some construction out front so hard to get into. Hotel and rooms very nicely appointed. Only stayed there 1 night but staff was nice.

Our guide was fun and nice. Very knowledgeable

None of us made it to this. We were sick that day and our other friends were too tired to go.

Great Intro to Lisbon and the food. Very friendly guide. Very knowledgeable.

Amazing day. Just a beautiful hike and experiences. Our driver Jesus was amazing. Our tour guide who was native to the area was fantastic.

Great Day, Guide was great. Feliz went out of his way to show us a great time.

We never got to do this because we were ill. But our friends went and loved it. Guide was very concerned about our well being and called us through out the day and brought us back medicine. He is amazing.

Guide was fun and knowledgeable. Had a great time

Very fun, Whole crew and the captain were fun and knowledgeable.

Ended the trip really strong with this tour. Great food, Great Guide, Great people on the tour.

The guide was new but very nice. The 4 wheel drive vehicle was cool, however they had an extra passenger which made one of our party sit in the way back which was not comfortable for her. The guide went out of his way to show us some cool things though.

Very Interesting and fun to watch

Amazing experience. We love to cook and Chef Diane as well as the Manager Ariana were amazing. Loved everything about it.

Fun and very informative. We had a little confusion with the bikes. AT first they gave us regular bikes but we paid for electric ones. They quickly changed it out and we were off an running. Nice experience.

Very interesting and beautiful experience. Really had a nice day.
