Our trip to Portugal and Spain was excellent. All of the arrangements were perfectly done by Raquel and her team. They were extremely accommodating to our needs and wants and everything in the trip went flawlessly. Every driver pick up was perfectly on time. All of the drivers had a great personality and talked with us the entire time. We actually became friends with Ze (I think his full name is Jose but he said to call him Ze) He is a musician as I am and we share videos now of each other performing. He was extremely friendly. In addition Jesus another driver from Sevilla to Granada was equally as good. So friendly, knowledgable and went out of his way to be accommodating for us. Both of these people should get 5 stars plus and get bonuses. That being said we tipped everyone we encountered very well.

For the tour guides, they were also excellent and tipped well. Ones that stood out were Feliz at the hike to the castle in Lisbon. He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and a great person to be around. All of the rest of the guides were amazing fun and just great people. There are too many to name, however I am going to name one more that has to be the nicest person we encountered. His name was Paulo and he was the guide to Nazare. The strangest part is that I never met him in person. I unfortunately along with my wife got sick that day and could not go on the tour. He did take our friends Lisa and Mike though. That being said he was so concerned with our health, that he offered to take us to the hospital, when we refused he went to the pharmacy got us some medicine and brought it to the hotel. He continued to call us through the day to make sure we were ok. He was a true hero on my book. The medicine he got us made us better so we could go on the next days tours.

All of the hotels, tours, rides were excellent. Thanks KIM KIM tours you were amazing.

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.

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.
