"Me encantó este tour."
06/10/2024
Realmente, el norte de España es bellísimo, lástima que en algunas ciudades llegamos muy tarde y no hubo suficiente tiempo para conocer la ciudad. Claro, en un tour de por lo menos 10 días se conoce más. El bus confortable, el motorista muy profesional y conocedor de el área. Los tours guiados muy buenos.

Es cierto que es poco el tiempo, pero estuvo bastante bien resuelto. Los hoteles "muy buenos", buenos desayunos y muy buenas cenas. Un párrafo aparte para el chófer/guía Dany, una excelente persona y siempre atento a cualquier requerimiento. Si pudiera hacerles una sugerencia seria que dos noches en Porto no tiene mucho sentido, hubiera sido mejor pernoctar en Salamanca.
