Chatur Tandon Splendid Spain and Portugal in 9 Days

Excellent

Our trip was beautifully planned by Thrillophilia. They actually know what we want on the trip and they put efforts in arranging a great itinerary for us and all the stops were exactly what we wanted and they actually went above and beyond to make sure things worked out for the best. The team was responsive and helpful throughout the trip and they solved all our questions... The hotels they provided to us was a good one and the staff were cordial and hospitable, it was really a great idea to do sightseeing in a hop-on-hop-off which we explored all the major sites of Lisbon, Seville, and Madrid in just a day. The Ho-Ho sightseeing tour in Barcelona was amazing. We even enjoyed the Flamenco Show so much... By the way, transfers were on time which we enjoyed all-day tours. Thanks to each and everyone who makes our trip successful.
