Lisbon 9-Day Tours and Trips

This is our 6th Back Roads tour. The itinerary was well put together giving a taste of all things Portugal. The accomodation was excellent 4-5 star. Meals provided were of a high standard especially those in the D’Ouro valley. The welcome and farewell dinners included local entertainment. Laura, our tour guide, provided detailed commentary and no “Challenges” were a problem. She even added in a few sites not listed in the itinerary. Finally our driver, Rui, safely drove us around the countryside.

I had a fantastic experience through out the entire trip. It was well organised but no pressure to do certain activities. Recommendations for activities or restaurants were very high and I was fortunate to meet such an a wing group of people

The was excellent , the crew Laura and Mello, were first class. The planning, the detail, and the thought that went into the trip rates it right up there. Congratulations and we will be recommending Back Roads. Rob Elliot.

Great trip…wonderful driver & tour leader..only glitch was with Goway who we purchased the tour through…they made a mistake when booking our requested extra night at end of tour which ended in Porto where we had tickets for train to next destination…they booked hotel over 100 km away but it said Porto on itinerary…luckily our Blue Roads tour leader told us where it actually was a few nights before…Goway didn’t want to admit their mistake and wanted us to pay for changing…worked out in end after much back & forth …we travel a lot…not sure would use Goway as booking agent again.

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!

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!
