7-Day Taste of Mediterranean Tour exploring best of Spain and Portugal

This tour is a good overview of the most important and beautiful places in Spain . It is exhausting though as it tries to do too much , going to Lisbon only to spend a few hours and go back to Spain was ridiculous . The tour guide was a sweet woman who was not articulate . She rambled often not in full sentences making it difficult to follow and get any good information . The hotels were in industrial areas of the town with nowhere to go in the evening , even to get a good meal .

Limited time in each location, but great value and a good overview to get a general feel for the locales. I recommend this precedes a longer stay in Spain.

Let me start with my Tourist guide. His name is Lex Tang. He was very professional, confident, fluent in English and is very dramatic in sharing information on Tourist places, the cities and the country as a whole. Some times his illustrations were funny and enjoyable and other times make you think Enough time was given for bath room breaks, lunch, and at.tourist spots. He also gave tips on where you have to be careful with pick pokers, how to be careful and how to protect your valuables. If to write in one sentence, the trip was very informative, educative, pleasurable and totally enjoyable Looking forward to go more tours with this company.

It is a bilingual tour which the guide will speak both English and Chinese. It is recommended for tourists who want to experience a favour of Spain. Tour guide has given us sufficient time to walk around towns and sight seeing places.

I recently joined a week-long Spain and Portugal tour with goEUgo, and it was a fantastic experience. Although I’ve traveled to Europe multiple times on my own, this trip allowed me to truly immerse myself in the rich cultures and histories of these countries like never before. Our tour guide, John Chen, was outstanding—professional, friendly, responsible, and incredibly knowledgeable. While some of the rides were quite long, John’s fascinating stories and insights made the journey much more enjoyable. Although I’m not usually interested in history or religious topics, he turned these subjects into captivating and memorable stories.

This 16 day OAT trip started with 3 nights in Lisbon and continued into Spain. We stayed in posadas in Portugal and paradores in Spain ending with 3 nights in Toledo in a hotel with a side trip to Madrid and the Prado. Before leaving Portugal we visited a cork factory, cork being their leading export. In Spain we visited a large olive oil factory and farm and also a fighting bull raising ranch but didn't see a bull fight. A trip to the massive cathedral in Seville was a highlight as was a trip into Madrid to visit the Prado. The many overnights in smaller towns and a home visit with a family gave us a perspective of Spain's history and culture you don't get by seeing only the big cities and we enjoyed it immensely. The OAT guide, Manuel Alarcón knows Spain like a book since he has lived there all his life. He was attentive, efficient and always available to answer questions and address glitches along the way.
