Lynda and Rob Ecclestone   -   Vancouver, Canada   -   Tour of Portugal & Andalucía 2010

“We recently returned from an enchanting tour of Portugal and Andalucía, including Lisbon, Coimbra, Porto, Evora, Cordoba, Granada, Gibraltar, Vejer de la Frontera, Seville and Estoi in the Algarve. It was perfectly orchestrated by Lemon Valley Holidays, with Nicola at the helm. Our adventure was a symphony of old and new, but always immersed in the warmth of the Portuguese and Spanish cultures. We chose a self-drive and pre-arranged accommodation tour which allowed us the flexibility we wanted. During the planning of our trip, Nicola was so helpful and always available as we shared many emails and phone conversations. The accommodation she recommended were the most charming boutique hotels located in the historic districts, a perfect place to begin our exploring. It was so refreshing to have leisurely mornings to enjoy the outstanding European breakfasts, before heading out touring. When we arrived at our first hotel, Nicola had sent a large package for us that included all the details we needed, including maps, addresses of hotels, tickets for events, and other important information to make our travels perfect. And they were just that! We highly recommend Lemon Valley Tours and look forward to a Moroccan adventure in the near future. It will be incomparably planned by our consultant and friend, Nicola. Her attention to detail, and her sincere interest in us were so greatly appreciated. Thank you so much, Nicola, for a wonderful three weeks!!”
