Lanzarote, Canary Islands

3 out of 5
Tour of northern part of island. Cave/restaurant was amazing; could’ve skipped the Aloe Vera shop.

Santa Cruz De Tenerife, Canary Islands

5 out of 5
We hired a private guide who provided an excellent tour.

Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands

3 out of 5
Canceled our whale/dolphin cruise at the last minute. Later learned from other guests that it was disappointing as they saw neither whale nor dolphin.

Lisbon, Portugal

4 out of 5
Tour guide was unaware that St. Jerome’s Monastery was closed on Mondays, until we arrived. Seriously?

Vigo, Spain

5 out of 5
Excellent tour guide; allowed for personal exploration time. Once again Cathedral was closed.
