    Gabor Balint - Outstanding Tour Guide

    If you’re fortunate enough to get Gabor Balint, our exceptionally well-versed tour guide, you’re in for a real treat. He really made the trip. He was extremely knowledgeable, having studied extensively from many sources, and in addition to his extensive historical, cultural and statistical knowledge he brought to the table many tidbits from his own world travels, saving us a Lot of trial and error on future journeys of our own. Gabor’s presentation manner is especially engaging - more intimate conversational, not your typical public announcement style. You feel like you’re traveling with your best friend who also happens to be an encyclopedia of whatever you want to know about the world and how to navigate it 😄. AND he does multiple routes. As far as the tour itself, it hit all the expected highlights. Be sure to read your itinerary and book ahead any self-pay attractions; they can sell out quickly. The gem of the trip for me was the little Spanish town of Mijas, with its fresh Mediterranean charm and pristeen air. Who knew it was even there! I appreciated that the trip was customizable with optional attractions and plenty of time to explore on our own. Gabor always gave us tips regarding places to check out and dine. Also the bus was new, air conditioned, comfy and impeccable. I had cellular coverage everywhere we went and WiFi in all the hotels (which were all clean and in good working order). The breakfasts (included daily) typically had good protein and fresh produce options as well as the ubiquitous free and fun espresso / cappuccino machine! I hope to take more GoEuGo tours in the future 😀.

    A wonderful overall exposure to Portugal and Spain.

    Loved this tour. stopped very early in quaint villages/locations before the large tour groups arrived. The guide/driver were wonderful. The accommodations were also spot on. I would recommend this to anyone.

    Do Not Book With Firebird for Portugal!

    Do not book with Firebird! Their customer service is appalling. Our friends and we travel a great deal. This was the worst experience we have ever had with a tour company. First of all, the hotels were great. We were in the Olissipo Castelo in Lisbon, the Eurostar Das Artes in Porto and The Quinta Da Cotinha in Alijo not Pinhao, as they insisted. Alijo is in the middle of nowhere far into the mountains, thirty minutes away from Pinhao and away from all the action. The Quinta was wonderful, as was the sweetest manager you could ever find. However, we were left in a small, old town that did not normally have visitors. We struggled to find anywhere to have meals since the Quinta only served breakfast. No one in the village spoke English to assist us when we were lost. Firebird had the nerve to tell us that we were wrong as to being booked in Alijo, and that we were booked in Pinhao. I think the sign entering the town should be more accurate. On our first evening, after being exhausted after our travel, we received an email that our tour for the next day was changed from an historical tour to a food walking tour. We had to spend more than an hour arguing with Firebird to obtain a comparable tour. Then, they provided a tour guide who barely spoke English who left us stranded in an unknown area of Lisbon where we had no idea how to return. One of our co-travelors had mobility issues. She had great pain struggling the hills of Lisbon to try to find our way back to our hotel. The worst part was when we arrived in the Douro Valley. Our tour was to include a winery tour with lunch included, for which we had already paid. When we met with our driver, he said that Firebird had not booked the winery tour, and he was uncertain as to where to even take us. Finally, he found out that a winery tour was scheduled, but that we would have to pay for our own lunch, even though we had already paid for it through Firebird. When we sat down for what appeared to be a beautiful location for lunch and they brought wine out for us, they abruptly pulled the wine away from us as we reached to pour, telling us that we had to leave. We are four professional people, and found this to be extremely humiliating. Our driver then took us to a greasy spoon in town where we ate stale bread and cheese at our own expense. There was no where else to eat at that time of day. Overall, I would never book with them again. They are unresponsive when you contact them in an emergency situation and do not deliver on promises and representations. They provide you with such canned email responses that you question whether you are communicating with a human. They never offer solutions, and merely try to buy time, saying they are looking into it. When you are traveling to a country in which you do not speak the language, this is particularly uncomfortable. If it had not been for the kindness of the Portugese drivers, guides and hotel staffs, we would have been in big trouble. Portugal, itself, is a wonderful country. The people are very friendly, kind and generous. Do not allow Firebird to damage the experience.

    7-Day European tour exploring best of Spain and Portugal: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Madrid.

    How much does 7-Day European tour exploring best of Spain and Portugal cost?

    +

    Prices start at $996 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Madrid usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 7-Day European tour exploring best of Spain and Portugal take?

    +

    Plan for about 168 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Madrid is not rushed.

    Is 7-Day European tour exploring best of Spain and Portugal worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Madrid, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 7-Day European tour exploring best of Spain and Portugal?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 7-Day European tour exploring best of Spain and Portugal suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 7-Day European tour exploring best of Spain and Portugal?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Madrid can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Madrid and add a light layer if any part of the 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 7-Day European tour exploring best of Spain and Portugal start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Madrid within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Madrid?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Madrid experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Madrid Essential: Historic Center, Plaza Mayor & Royal Palace, Madrid Walking Tour from Puerta del Sol to Retiro Park, Madrid Tapas & Wine Tour with Rooftop Views and Local Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Madrid?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Madrid?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
