Porto Tours in October 2027

The itinerary was comprehensive. We could have maybe spent a little more time in some of the beautiful towns, but everything had to run on a schedule. Our tour director was wonderful, & our bus driver was absolutely brilliant. Many thanks Insight Vacations.

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.

For the curious traveller who wants to explore a bit more of Portugal, this itinerary was perfect. The beaches of the south, the plains of the centre, the hills and rivers of the north are all included. The result is an enjoyable time exploring a cultural and historic treasure.

First of all, the guide Daniel and the driver, Felipe were OUTSTANDING!! they made the journey most enjoyable. Dan was very knowledgeable, kept us informed of the day to day schedule and was always available to assist with any issues that would arise during our trip. I know my fellow travelers felt the same. And we were all amazed how Felipe navigated some of the narrow, twisty roads without even a scratch to the coach.

What an absolutely wonderful tour. The tour guide went above and beyond for all tour members, one who needed medical assistance specifically. Each hotel was amazing and top shelf. The optional tours were beautiful and shared so much about each area and the people who live there. The pace was great as well were able to see so many areas of Portugal. I will definitely recommend to others. Portugal is green in beauty and taking care of natural resources. Loved our time there!

A wonderful tour with a great mix of sights and activities. Best features were the lovely and knowledgeable guide, Eddi, and very capable driver, Pedro. Accommodation was varied and interesting. Allowance was made for individual interests and levels of stamina. The whole tour felt more spontaneous that preordained. Love that we visited small local producers and craftspeople with no pressure to buy! Also loved the limited numbers on the tour - 17 in this case - and the fact we rarely travelled more than an hour at a time in the bus. The country roads through small villages were the very best of the daily trips. The rest day in a vineyard was very much appreciated too - although there were still activities for those who wished. Cannot recommend highly enough!
