Lisbon Tours in December 2027

Our tour guide & our driver were amazing! For us though, we learned that it's too difficult for us to get up early everyday and be on the move. Even though we got to see so many things and experience a lot, it isn't the kind of traveling for us. We need to go at a slower pace and have more time to relax. It might be nicer to have some days where the excursions start a little later so folks can sleep in and then maybe have more time in between sightseeing to have ample time in the hotel room for the next outing. We felt rushed at times where we couldn't even change clothing for the dinner events in the evening. We still enjoyed the trip immensely but not sure if we can travel at a fast pace like that again.

Would like to see a side trip to Fatima as an option since we are already very close in Lisbon. If it is an option people that are not interested can always have other options available. Visit of historical site were very interesting to me such as Peniscola, Valencia, Sevilla, Alhambra, Cordoba, Madrid, Lisbon, Belem and many more.

For the third time in a year, Trafalgar not only meet our expectations, they exceeded them! From the detail of the pre-trip communication, the expertise, passion and personality of our Travel Director and the expertise of our Driver , Trafalgar came through. Overall the local guides were knowledgeable and showed their true love for their country and area a expertise. The only exception was the first one who seemed more annoyed and bothered, however it did not detract from the experience. The food was outstanding at ever included meal and the Be My Guest experiences were amazing! Great stories and really gave us a sense of what it would be to live in such a beautiful country. The one downside was the very apparent abilities of the fellow travelers. The size, 52 was complicated by the fact that more than 30% had GREAT difficulty throughout the trip. The roads and hills proved very challenging, and Trafalgar as well a mentioned this throughout the trip, providing options for those who might be challenged. Unfortunately, virtually everyone 'thought' they could do it. Even getting on and off the Coach was an 'experience'. Too much time was spent waiting around for everyone to get on an off, and then when on a walking tour, the group had to constantly stop and wait for others to catch up. This happened throughout the trip and was compromised by having 52 travelers. I 'jokingly' commented that Trafalgar should have a ability/agility test, especially for trips that might be a bit more strenuous. Realizing that this is not possible practical, it was unfortunate that so many were on this trip. Not surprisingly, these same individuals were always late to the Coach, sometimes more than 10 minutes... kind of like they had no concern for their fellow travelers and they were on their own private tour. We realized that this is 'part of the travel experience' and did our best to make the best of it.

excellent tour guide and excursions. Enjoyed visiting several cities and the culture . Especially the cork factory and the pottery and tile businesses. Great all around trip.

The tour leader was excellent, reaching out individually to all participants. The local guides also did a great job. The tour had stops throughout the country and all were beautiful and interesting. The hotels were also wonderful and well located.

A wonderful tour to introduce me to the beauty of Portugal's scenery, culture, and history. I liked the exposure to Fado and cantee music, and also the boat trip in and out of the grottos of the Algarve!
