We had a great time on the 3 countries tour. The Spain stop was nice. The France stop could use some arranging with a restaurant that 2 groups of 20 people were coming for a limited time to eat .Our tour in Galway did that and it worked great. We scrambled to eat at a bakery with everyone on the bus helping each other find a place to eat. Andorra was worth the trip. Beautiful views. It snowed on us but we didn’t mind.

This tour gave me a taste of 3 different countries in 1 day where the Pyrinees mountains lie between. Alex was a great guide who gave us enough time to enjoy and savor each country. Highly recommended esp for those who just need a quick sampling of 3 countries.
