We did Portugal and North of Spain. The locations were beautiful and the guides were amazing. First we had Vanessa, she was really nice and helpful. Second we had Ofelia and she was super passionate about her tour and made sure we were having a good time. The problem was the communication between VPT and the third party. We used Onthegotours and we were given the wrong meeting point. Lucky our guide had reached out to me or we would have ended up in the wrong meeting point. We didnt know this was several different segments of different tours so we were confused in Madrid when we had to meet the new guide. Luckily Vannesa contacted Ofelia and helped us with this. The last leg of the tour was Vigo to Porto. This was the last day and onthego had given us the wrong ending point information and booked us in a different hotel so the last guide we had Ryad did not have us on his list because we were in a different hotel. Luckily Ofelia explained to him that our tour ends in Porto but we are in a different hotel so we were able to get on the bus and everything was ok. I wish we had the right ending point information because we were a big family with lots of suitcases and had to take two taxis to the other hotel. At first I blamed onthego but then I met a lady using another third party called sun travel and she was also given the wrong meeting point and almost missed the bus. Please consider making sure that third party bookers have the correct info as well.

Great trip to see north of Spain. Our driver was excelent, the best. This circuit does not include local guided tours for cities visited, this contrast to Andalusia vpt tour that included local guides. Accomodations, breakfasts and dinners were reassonable.
Dear customers, Thank you for your kind review. VPT Tours team
Saragoza so far was my beautiful town in it's harmony and tolerance from medieval to modern , a city of mystery, more to come..., the tour is still on..
Dear Nuwar, Thank you for the feedback. We are delighted to know that Zarazoga met your expectations and also the tour. Kind regards
Great tour, saw some great sights and great accommodation. Well organised. Loved experiencing new places
Second time I have tried to write this so it is going to be a lot shorter then my first. Truly enjoyed. Nacho was an excellent guide and tried to keep us on track. Extremely pleased with the quality and location of the hotels, except two-Oviedo and La Corunna(especially the location). Busy days. Enjoyed the provided meals, if you have allergies let your guide or tour know. Amazing value!
The views and sights were spectacular. I was disappointed that I was promised an English tour and it ended up being a Spanish tour, there were only two other English speaking people on the tour and they were husband and wife. I felt out of place and left out! Nobody spoke English. I would not Recommend the tour unless it was English speaking
