    This was our first ever coach tour. It was everything we hoped for and more. Insight was wonderful. Our local guide, Lola, was great, very knowledgeable and well organized. Local guides were also very knowledgeable. We had a great group of people from many countries and nationalities, who blended very nicely. Hotels and locations and breakfasts were terrific. Able to go on our own rather than extra optional tours was wonderful for us, freedom to explore. Many Facebook friends were made and email contacts were shared. Thank you Insight for a wonderful Spain and Portugal trip.

    Excursion to Fatima is unsuitable for a tour like this. It should only be provided as an extra excursion for people to choose. Unless you were of the Roman Catholic religion it is boring and unacceptable. Bexause of the whole day wasted at Fatima there was insufficient time to explore Salamanca as the cathedral was closed by the time we arrived.. I wanted to explore this UNESCO town very much. We left Salamanca the next morning at 8.30, so too early to walk down to the cathedral which did not open until til 10 am.

    I traveled in May 2019 on the Amazing Spain and Portugal tour - my first ever motor coach tour and first ever trip as a solo female traveler. It was fantastic! It was better than I could have hoped for. The tour director, Paddy Davis, and bus driver, Bruno, were absolutely terrific. I can't says enough good things about them. They were exceptional! Paddy was fun, enthusiastic, organized, knowledgeable, and took care of every detail. He was always upbeat and took care of all the endless details of coordinating 40 people on a trek across 2 countries. He was always available to answer any type of question. I could go on and on about how good he was. If there were any hiccups in the trip we were never aware. He worked tirelessly to make our trip seamless, Bruno was a wonderful driver, so pleasant and professional. He was never was fazed by the highways, driving in the cities that were jam-packed with tourist buses and tourists, or on narrow winding Portugal country roads. I never heard him honk the horn once. He was always on time to meet the group. He cleaned the coach every night after driving us around all day, down to the hubcaps. The coach, by the way was extremely comfortable and immaculate, thanks to Bruno. The hotels were gorgeous, the rooms were up-date and beds were comfortable, the food and tours were wonderful, and the optional tours were well-chosen. I highly recommend doing the optional tours as they really enhanced the overall experience and were good value for what was provided. I like the fact that a description of the optional tours was provided before the trip so you could do a little research before-hand, although Paddy explained them all in detail at the start of the trip. The optional tours were also not pushed on anyone so people that wanted to spend time doing their own touring, meals, etc were able to do so, and Paddy was always willing to help with suggestions of things to do or places to go during those times. I could go on and on, but overall I had a great time and can't wait to do another Insight tour.

    An excellent tour. It met our expectations. Very good driver and knowledgeable tour driver helped. We had researched destinations carefully before leaving and were not disappointed with the tour. Some great optional but two, ie Segovia and Black Madonna should have been part of main trip
