Private Tour of Lisbon, Estoril Coast and Sintra - UNESCO World Heritage Site
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Lisbon, Portugal
My Review: The van was on time when he picked us up at our hotel and we were pleasantly surprised to see that we had our fantastic tour guide from the day before. One of the pluses of this tour was our guide, not only was he knowledgeable but also very friendly and spoke perfect English. Because this was a private tour he offer us the flexibility of pretty much customizing the tour by determining the length of time we wanted to spend at each place visited. At the Pena Palace it started to sprinkle and our guide shows up with 5 umbrellas - one for each one of us. Inside the palace they need better organization to move people through the different rooms, especially when it rains and everybody runs inside. We highly recommend the tour, which in my opinion is well worth the price.

Because this was a private tour he offer us the flexibility of pretty much customizing the tour by determining the length of time we wanted to spend at each place visited. We had a fantastic lunch in Nazare right on the beach. A fantastic private tour.

Lisbon City Hop-on Hop-off Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Lisbon, Portugal
My Review: We are now of the opinion that the best way to get to know a city without missing any of the important sites is by riding the City hop-on hop-off bus. It is also probably the most efficient and economical way of doing it.

El Escorial Monastery and the Valley of the Fallen from Madrid
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Madrid, Spain
My Review: The guide did an excellent job describing the tour. Both tour sites show significant historic aspects of Spain. It was very impressive to be in the 'Panteon de los Reyes' in the presence of the sarcophagi of the kings of Spain. There is only one word to describe the basilica and courtyard of El Escorial and that is impressive. Highly recommended and well worth the price.

Toledo Half-Day or Full-Day Trip from Madrid
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Madrid, Spain
My Review: Having toured Spain for 30 days, I can say that Toledo is without a doubt one of Spain's most attractive places. The tour bus, which circled the city, provided a great opportunity for taking beautiful panoramic pictures. Even the full day tour could not do justice to what the city has to offer, definitely worth the price.

My Rating:
Location:
My Review: The guide did an excellent job describing the history of the Alcalá de Henares. The old town, which is beautifully situated on the left bank of the river, has a lot of history, being the birthplace of Cervantes and Emperor Ferdinand I. A knowledgeable guide is a must for this tour.

Avila and Segovia Day Trip from Madrid
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Madrid, Spain
My Review: Along with Toledo, Avila and Segovia is the other tour nobody should miss while visiting Madrid. The old town wall with its nine gates and 88 semicircular towers was a sight to be behold. Segovia's Roman aqueduct is without a doubt a marvel of Roman engineering and worth seeing. The Alcázar was the delight of our grandchildren. A must-do tour, well worth the price.

My Review: The driver was there as advertised with the sign displaying our name. The driver was courteous and the van large enough to accommodate the five of us and our luggage. Although the hotel is not far from the airport the service is well worth the price.

Madrid Card
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Madrid, Spain
My Review: The Madrid Card has so much to offer. There is no way that you can do one-tenth of it in a 24-hour period. For 48 or 72 hours the card is well worth its price.

My Review: The bus was right on time. Our tour guide in Tangier was a university professor and therefore very knowledgeable, and did a great job. The main thing that you get out of the trip to Tangier is the overall experience and, in my opinion, it is well worth it.
