The agency had the flexibility to rework the tour for the two of us, so that we were picked up in Porto, and left at out next hotel in Santiago. This aspect worked very well for us. However, our hotel was at the fringe of the no cars central district and the agency had not provided the driver proper directions or GPS to get there efficiently.
