Experience Overview

Quite a few civilizations have left their imprint on Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, but perhaps none so permeating as the Moors. Get your feet wet in Moorish culture in the Iberian peninsula, home of Spain and Portugal. Surround yourself in the beautiful architecture of the region with an overnight in Évora before exploring Spain’s fiery Andalucian capital of Seville. Cool it all down in Morocco, within the city of Chefchaouen’s striking blue walls. Don’t miss out on a tour that’s as drenched with flavours, colours, and history as the three countries that comprise it.

Highlights

  • Savour the tapas culture of Spain
  • Explore the seven hills of Lisbon
  • Wander the beautiful streets of Seville
  • Experience the flavours of Morocco
  • Get lost in ancient medinas
  • Lay eyes on captivating landscapes

So much of the trips success depends on the dynamics of the group. That is beyond your control.. You have a good product but the group dynamic is a crap shoot hence the 8

We felt like we were safe and well supported throughout our experience. In Spain and Portugal we were given more freedom which was fantastic in that we could go off and do our own thing as it was safe, where's in Morocco we had multiple tours/guides included which was better to navigate the hustle and bustle of the moroccan cities. There was a perfect mix of freedom and support throughout the tour.

Tracey M.  -  Traveled, November 2023

All Hotel accommodations were very poor quality even though I understood it was a 'classic' tour. The Hotel in Chefchaueon should be completely removed from the tour. It was dirty, had inadequate or missing lighting, we couldn't drink the water, only two small towels provided for 2 overnight stays for 2 people, no hot water in shower, The hotel in Marakech had the curtains falling off the windows, was dirty, inadequate bedding, he breakfast was very minimal and stale. Overall I rate the hotels and the breakfasts on the entire trip a zero.
