In travellers' own words
“Meeting point in Madrid was unorganized. VPT tour office was closed. They adverised meeting point being a bus terminal. There was no bus terminal. Nobody to welcome you. A nervou”
“6-day Andalusia tour. Excellent—the hotels, the stops, and the timing were all well planned, and the meals were very good. The driver, Sergio, and Maria Jo”
“Would not recommend this VPT tours It was very disorganised, I booked English guided tour but was in Spanish group, guides with little English, very little information and explanation. I booked one 12 day tour”
