The tour was wonderful, a good value and excellent accommodation's and experiences. The only negative comment I have is regarding the flight itinerary. On the return portion we left Porto, Portugal at 6:30 AM and didn't arrive back into Indianapolis until Midnight (due in at 9:00 PM, but weather delays of 3 hrs). The waiting times in between connections was excessive. On the outbound flight from Indianapolis to Lisbon, there was a 5 hr layover at JFK. We arrived at hotel at 9:30 but couldn't get into our room until later that afternoon.
