Lisbon 7-Day Tours and Trips

The vouchers were not obvious on the website. Use the words Hotel Voucher. We spent hours on the phone looking for vouchers, then NO ONE wanted them. Covid documentation was a nightmare, more info on that would have been helpful.

I was blown away by how beautiful Porto is. The walking tour was a great intro, and the wine cellar visit in Gaia was both educational and delicious. Loved the rabelo boat ride too!

Portugal surprised me with how effortlessly it blends coastal charm and deep history. Our week started in Lisbon’s cobbled streets and instantly captivating pastel de nata at the Belem district. Wandering through Jeronimos Monastery was an early delight. The boat ride to the fishing village of Nazare came next, looking out at huge Atlantic swells was humbling and thrilling. Moving inland to Obidos, I felt like I’d stepped into a medieval storybook. Through its narrow lanes and hilltop castle, we then found quieter moments at the Monastery of Batalha. My favorite was Porto. Rabelo boats floating on the Douro, port tastings at dusk, and the historic Ribeira district buzzing with life. The final stop in Coimbra showcased Portugal’s intellectual heritag, its centuries-old university left me in awe. Travel days were easygoing. Our guide was energetic yet relaxed, and the small group size meant I had meaningful conversations with fellow travelers. Best value I’ve encountered for European travel. highly recommend it.

I was a bit anxious at the beginning, but our guide João was incredible—he made us feel confident, safe, and motivated throughout. The group was wonderful, and the organisation by João and Tony was exceptional. I loved everything about the experience—even the long, challenging hills with strong headwinds! I couldn’t have done it without an e-bike and such a great leader. Thank you so much for an unforgettable adventure!

Great trip and itinerary. Beautiful scenery along the way. Cycling was challenging, not for inexperienced cyclists. Participants should be competent in hill climbing, variety of terrain, and have a road sense in traffic. Guide Alejandro and support driver Pedro were competent and very congenial. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip .

Portugal has given us memories that will last a lifetime. Dejan did an amazing job guiding us and was also able to give all the cyclists many chances to ride at their preferred speed. Pedro, our driver and a person who wore many hats, was a gift for all of us. From preparing amazing lunches with local foods to making sure we were hydrating, Pedro was an asset in every way. This will not be the last trip we take with Explore.
