Caret DownCaret Up RedAirport Transfers

Airport Transfers

Arrival Transfers

Transfer on your own from Lisbon Airport (LIS) to your hotel, the Lisbon Marriott (Avenida dos Combatentes 45 in Lisbon, Portugal). You have the option of Taxi or Ride Share. Taxi: once you have exited customs and collected your baggage at the airport, proceed to the ground floor exit of Terminal 1 arrivals. There, you will see a designated Taxi rank. You can request your taxi here. Ride share like Uber or Bolt: the designated pickup place is on level 2 of the P2 Garage. The driving time from the airport to the hotel is approximately 15 minutes. The cost will range from €8-€15 plus tip. Payment is accepted in Euros (€). Ride shares are typically a little cheaper. We do not recommend the Metro as you have to change to a bus and it takes around an hour with very little savings. A currency exchange and ATMs are located inside the airport. When you arrive at your hotel, please identify yourself as a Caravan tour member to the front desk personnel.

Departure Transfers

Caravan includes a departure transfer from the Labtwentytwo Hotel in Barcelona to Josep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport (BCN) outside Barcelona.

Caravan's Proud History

In 1965, Roger Mudd hosted a two-hour CBS TV special on Caravan Tours. This TV production took about one month to make and was so successful it inspired the 1968 romantic comedy movie “If it’s Tuesday this must be Belgium.” In the early 50’s the Mayor of Dublin presented Caravan with the Key to Dublin for bringing the first American tour to the city after WWII. Since then, Caravan has been recognized as a pioneer in travel. You can trust in our stability, experience and dedication to quality.
