“We booked this on the day, the cheapest of the limited last minute options available. Great guide (Christina) with loads of knowledge and an easy manner, brought the tour alive for adults and children. We didn't know there was a one hour time difference crossing the border from Portugal to Spain and called their office in a panic because were were late for the agreed meeting. They were very prompt and flexible, called the guide directly, sorted it out for us within minutes. Also, their website is very clear, no hidden extras. Would recommend. But book early if you can!Read more”
