The tour was well planned
While it was winter, the bus was freezing. Once we got to Lisbon our flight was delayed and we were caught up in a rebooking nightmare with NO help from British Airlines. It was so disorganized.
The entire tour was a wonderful…
In Santiago what was on our tour list did not happen due to local holiday. There were some things that were still open like the Gran Torre building that we could have visited or the Metropolitan Park. That day was a waste of a day.

Great guide, accommodations, and tours.
Tour guides were exceptional in Israel…
As a single traveller I thoroughly…
