Porto 11-Day Tours and Trips

We thoroughly enjoyed our Country Roads of Portugal tour. Our tour director, was wonderful, so accommodating, knowledgeable, engaging and went the extra mile to make sure everyone was well taken care of. Our driver, was incredible. He swiftly problem solved in an unexpected situation and our group always felt safe with his experienced driving skills. The (extra leg room) coach, scenery, extra activities, meals, hotels and local experts were five star in every respect. We would highly recommend this tour, especially for experiencing the less traveled countryside of Portugal. It's a beautiful country!

The transfers to and from the Lisbon hotel were efficient and on time. As well, the extra leg room in the well-apppointed coach was welcomed! Great food, wine, lodgings, and experiences. Daniel Ferguson was an experienced guide who not only took us to beautiful sites, but also added a couple of extra side trips and treats. He and our driver Felipe worked extremely well together, and the local guides were all knowledgable and passionate about their subjects.

Provides a really good taste of some of Portugal’s most beautiful cities, towns and countryside. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour, the hotels were excellent, coach very comfortable and tour director excellent.

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.

Covered so many interesting and beautiful places. Great accommodation. The guide and driver were very informative and always professional and helpful. The Douro Valley was certainly a highlight and the boat trip was so scenic and relaxing.
