John J. | Traveled in November
A fascinating and varied trip covering key destinations in north Albania, North Macedonia and Kosovo. Hotels were comfortable, although we hadn't appreciated the challenges faced by those living in the Valbona Valley, which was an absolute highlight with stunning scenery. Our guide had an amazing depth of knowledge and shared this with us every day. Just a little more detail about day to day practicalities would be useful, but this didn't take away from his evident passion and enthusiasm about his home country.

The afternoon tour to Sintra was a beautiful escape from the city. The National Palace was majestic, and I loved wandering through the charming streets. Cascais was the perfect touch.
Anonymous | Traveled in July
It was a very well balanced tour. The itinerary allowed us to see a lot of the iconic locations of Turkey as well as lesser known ones. The variety of included and optional activities was excellent. The range of accommodation was great, most hotels were much better than we had expected. The included meals were very nice and plentiful. Some days in the bus were long, but always enjoyable and there was always something amazing to see along the way or learn about from our very knowledgeable tour guide. and (our driver) made the journey enjoyable, thought provoking and safe. They are lovely people, a credit to Turkey for their welcoming nature and passion to share their country with others. I would highly recommend this tour to my family and friends.

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!
Steve Glax | Traveled in May
Absolutely amazing tour! From the seamless transfers to the incredible sights in Porto, Lisbon, and Sintra, everything was perfectly organized. Highlights included the Porto city tour, the breathtaking Douro Valley wine tour, and the fairy-tale charm of Sintra. The guides were knowledgeable, the wine tastings were fantastic, and every day felt like a new adventure. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore Portugal in style!
Oscar H. | Traveled in May
The Douro Valley wine tour was stunning. Both vineyards offered excellent wines, and the river views during the cruise were simply unreal. One of the best wine experiences I’ve had.
