Tour style

.

This tour is focused on cultural and historical aspects of visited countries, exploring well-known destinations as well as off-the-beaten-path hidden gems.

.

We, at Monterrasol Travel, practice the Slow Tourism philosophy. That means that we work our tours at a pace that allows our clients to have a more authentic experience and a true exploration of each destination we visit. We dismiss the stress, the rush, the tight schedules, and the crazy running from spot to spot, especially related to bus travel package tours for large groups.

.

We love to travel in a relaxed, not hurried, way. All our tours have been designed with that key idea in mind, and we try to keep a balance between the places scheduled to be visited and free time to take a break. Also, we do not like to keep our clients in the car for a long time on the way between itinerary points, just a fair amount of time.
