Worth the price - The trip is worth the price. When stopping in Lagos, go straight to the small beaches. They are stunning! Then, you won't stop in Sagres and you will have 40 mins for St. Vincent Cape. Bear that it's really windy there in mind and take a jacket.

Lagos, Sagres & Cape St. Vincent were great, shame about the bus trip - Unfortunately, it has turned us off large bus trips for good. Even though the sights were excellent and we so much enjoyed seeing Lagos, Sagres & Cape St. Vincent, the bus trip was not enjoyable at all. We never complain but firstly my family, husband and daughter were separated from one end of the bus to the other and we were not given the opportunity to change at any time during the trip. Most people were not friendly towards us and we had this constant, extremely loud tour guide that mostly spoke in a different language the whole trip which resulted in us all having a headache. Never again. All our other tours were with a mini bus and they were excellent but totally booked out for this tour, so we thought this would just as good, little did we know.

I booked late and wasn't picked up by bus but after contacting the tour operator one of the office staff collected us in her own car and brought us to the bus. Appreciated the extra effort</p>

Was ok but wouldn't do it again - Ok if you like spending hours on a coach,the sights were ok but it was just too long on a bus,would be better if the guide told everyone to keep to the same seats when the return to the bus,a lot of bickering from the French and Germans,us Brits just kept a siff upper lip
