Custom-Designed Tour in Portugal and Spain
Mary E., Social Studies Teacher
We helped Mary design her very own 10-day Experience Portugal & Spain tour for the spring of 2014. Mary really liked our 12-day Portugal & Spain tour, but she needed to fit it within her school break. So she focused on the destinations that she most wanted her students to see—including Evora—while still keeping the best of cities like Lisbon, Seville and Madrid.

Get a first-hand look at the playful Barbary macaque—Europe's only wild monkey population—before hopping in a cable car to glimpse spectacular views from the “Top of the Rock.” From here, glimpse the influence of British traders and merchants as you peruse the goods of Gibraltar's bustling shopping district.
