The hotels that we stayed in were very nice. All the meals provided were above average. The itinerary for the tour hit all the high spots. Our Tour Manager was good however it was very difficult to understand her on the bus when she was speaking into the microphone. When you spoke one-on-one with her, it was not difficult to understand her. She was very accommodating in switching the tour around so that we could go to the cliffs. She was always able to recommend good restaurants in the towns that we were at. Our final night at Kings Court, Cabra Castle was really very special

Enjoyed touring north and southern regions of Portugal, Expertise and depth of knowledge of history and culture of Sabrina, our Tour Director and professionalism and excellent tour driver, Felipe! Negative aspect: Was suppose to be a small group but number went up to 42! Bus felt tight and crowded and many of us ended up getting sick with coughs and bad colds.

We heard about and saw so much history. The guides were very informative. I came away feeling more familiar with the south. We also had opportunities to explore on our own. Good trip.
