The complete option transforms the airport transfer into a substantial sightseeing journey between Portugal and Seville.

Can We Visit All Four Stops?
Yes, if your flight arrives early enough and sufficient sightseeing time is booked.
However, visiting all four destinations can add several hours to the journey.
For most travellers, selecting one or two stops provides a better balance between sightseeing and travel time.
If you want to include all four, we strongly recommend an early arrival at Faro Airport.
What Happens if Our Flight Is Delayed?
Sightseeing itineraries depend on your actual arrival time.
A significant flight or airport delay may affect:
- Attraction opening hours
- Available daylight
- Restaurant reservations
- Hotel check-in plans
- The amount of sightseeing time available
If your arrival is substantially delayed, the itinerary may need to be adjusted according to the remaining time and driver availability.
For airport journeys with several sightseeing stops, it is important to keep us informed of any major travel disruption.
Portugal and Spain Time Difference
Mainland Spain is normally 1 hour ahead of mainland Portugal.
For example:
12:00 in Faro = 13:00 in Seville
This is particularly important when planning:
- Hotel check-in

- Train connections
- Events
- Tours
- Meetings
- Attraction opening times
Your Faro Airport pick-up time is based on local Portuguese time.
Arrival times and sightseeing opening hours in Spain should be considered using local Spanish time.

A short comfort break can be arranged when reasonably required.
