Thank you for opening our eyes to more attractions in Portugal. How far in advance should you book this tour?

Hi Tony, great video as always! If we pay by cash at the store, will yhe refund be issued at the airport in cash only or we can give our credit card or bank account number and they will refund online? Also, if its done online then in usually how many days does this refund come in?

New to know if there are lifts at all metro stations? I will stay at Capri , following your recommendation 😊🙏🏼 Need to know how we can go to Capri from airport with 3 big luggages. Last but not least , u are amazing , all your informations are perfect and easy to understand. Thank you , bless you 🫶🏼😊

Very informative thank you. Is it correct that I can not request a seat, they are only assigned seats?

Amazingly informative and helpful. Thank you so much for your diligent work.

Thanks Tony. UK crew.

Thank you very helpful. Can I exchange my UK driving licence for a Spanish one without any tests etc?

Excellent video, many thanks for sharing ❤

Hi, is Sintra more crowded on Saturday and Sunday?

Does the red "tarjeta transporte publico" card for metro and bus also work on Cercania trains?

If I am to drive to Montserrat, where would you recommend to park? Can I buy only the funicular tickets onsite or better to do it in advance?

Lovely video ROAD TRIP. Great work.

If you don’t want to be robbed or raped don’t go to Barcelona

Very good recommendation! All look delicious!

Is there an APP as well to buy the 24 hour tickets ?

Reminds me of Ortigia, where you are surrounded by sea. Thanks

I see “Aseos” everywhere. ??

integration this card is no good, it's very difficult 😜 crazy world

This helps so much with planning. Your channel is the best organized, detailed, complete and well thought. Thank you so much. My question is… are the sights selected for each day located near each others so that you don’t waste time on train/bus. Also, the total time spent each day sight seeings are evenly distributed, not too long one day, etc?

Excellent videos and explanations

Carris (buses) on there website show "accessible routes" (and buses displaying a blue disability symbol I believe) but nowhere do they describe the procedure with a wheelchair/electric wheelchair for boarding on these routes: is it a ramp? Is it a manual or automatic ramp if so? Is it still at the front of the bus or in the middle on the "bendy" buses? Is there, perhaps a blue button to press on the outside/inside? Does the driver assist or need to know a disabled person is aboard? I have a Portuguese friend who answered many questions I had but does not use the buses :) I have emailed Carris without (so far) a response. Can you or anyone else adding comments add any information? Thanks.

Love your videos. So helpful, useful with exact details. Very organized and independent

Great as usual! Thank you, Tony. You are so clear and organized!

Este vídeo es muy útil, ¡gracias!

Is a family card available in Sevilla, Granada or Malaga as well? Gracias!!!

hi awesome video , is there a video with accommodations with out sharing bathroom?

this video was great ! I would like to know what would be the best choice for a group of 5 traveling with luggage to our hotel in Distrito De Santa-Montjuïc?

how to travel from bcn term 2 on aero bus to llacuna metro line4

Thanks for letting me know. It was on my list of things to do. I'll be there on Tuesday 😊

Great video! Question: My family and I will be in Madrid for 12 hours, 8am until 11pm, we are traveling with 3 small children (5 people total) just looking for somewhere to drop off the luggage and relax/shower before our next flight, since we wont stay overnight what do you suggest, hotel? Does Airport offer Luggage storage (consigna)?

Thank you, Tony. This is great information. As we flew to/from Madrid from the states on TAP, we changed planes in Lisbon on both journeys. Ultimately, we did wind up driving between in Madrid and Lisbon during our Iberian adventure last Summer. While flying saves a ton of time, the experiencing driving between the two cities was simply magical. Quite simply (and obviously) you see many things along the way, such as random castles atop small mountains, quaint towns along the countryside and Roman 'ruins' here and there. The landscape of the Spanish countryside along the A5 reminded us a lot of I-90 through South Dakota/Wyoming, with that prairie/brush feel to it. On a deeply personal level, driving between Madrid and Lisbon really does go a long way towards developing a sense of 'intimacy' with both Spain and Portugal. So much so with us that my wife and I are considering Spain as a landing spot for our empty nest phase in four years. I highly recommend driving the peninsula. Additionally, I ABSOLUTELY recommend subscribing to Tony's channel. The information he provides is diligently assembled, thoughtfully presented and HIGHLY beneficial to those of us who are new to the area! He goes above and beyond to make certain that you have all the info you need for a great travel experience.

What a perfect video, thanks for all the information. I spent 5 days with my family and we bought T Mobilitat Usual with thanks to you and enjoyed the most of Barcelona with help of this affordable card.

Your videos and tips are so good! Thank you so much!

i am unable to book the ticket through trainline. I also do not have the option to pay via Paypal. I am trying to book ticket from Madrid to Barcelona (return)

Hi! Can you explain more about getting money back in the center of the city? In Madrid for example.

Can you load a single ticket and immediately zapping it (top off) with credit without first using the single ticket? Same thing, can you load single ticket and then load it with 24 hr ticket? Thank you

Hi Tony! My wife and I have watched dozens of your videos in preparation for our one month traveling in Spain. Thanks very much for all the info you present! Can you comment on the hotels: chic&basic Reding in Barcelona and Holtel Alcázar in Sevilla? ¡Muchas gracias!

Hi, Tony. Thank you so much for all your helpful videos. I’ve been using them in preparation for my first time visiting Spain. I’ve run into a bit of a situation and would love your advice on what to do. I’m looking at train tickets for my friends and me from Madrid-Chamartín to Leon in August, but there’s conflicting train information on Renfe and Trainline. On Renfe, there are only four trains, and only one late option is available for purchase. One is sold out, and the other two say Este tren no se encuentra disponible para la venta en estos momentos. Disculpe las molestias. On Trainline, only three options appear. Two are sold out, and only the late option is available. I’ve been checking the websites since April with little luck, and I’m confused, seeing as there are still many options for tomorrow’s travel from Madrid to Leon. My ideal train time shows up as unavailable for purchase at the moment on Refe and sold out on Trainline. I need to get to my destination before the late train option, so I’m in a bind here. Should I buy the late option now and change the time later, or should I wait longer to see if things change on either website?

Great information, garcias! I am looking at accommodations for 3 women travelling together in October 2024. Could you please provide feedback on the following addresses in Barcelona? 1. 132 Carrer del Comte Borrell, Eixample 2. Carrer Arago, 224, Eixample 3. Passeig De Gràcia, 32 4º, Eixample 4. Fontanella, 16, 2º 2ª, Ciutat Vella 5. La Rambla, 138, Ciutat Vella

Can you stay in Fatima for 2 days and watch the night procession

Love the channel and was very useful information for our upcoming trip. This video in particular made planning so much easier. Thank you

Video 154? I’m in Santiago de Compostela and I need to get to Madrid Sunday June 16. What’s the best way to do this. Bus to Ourense then train to Madrid? I’m very confused.

Hi Tony, we are planning to stay in Hotel Amadeus in Seville. Do you think this is a good hotel and area?

Best and most informative about madrid I ever found. Tks U

Wonderful video Tony! How Nazare has grown in the last 30 years! Fatima is a must see.. and Obidos is still enchanting the highlight of any Portugal holiday.❤❤❤love

TONY THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEOS! I have wonderful 2 weeks in Spain! I’ve been following your videos before my trip and it had been very helpful ❤❤❤

Hola Tony! Using the trainline link from your video #49, I booked 4 seats with AVLO from Barcelona to Madrid. I was assigned carriage 8, seats 8B, 8C, 8D, and 8E. Do you know if there is a seat "8E", or is this a mistake? The seat configurations in your video are 2 x 2 across, and I assumed they would be lettered A, B, C, D. Is there a seat E in each row? Thanks

Gracias for your video. You have great content.
