I had excellent overall experience on this tour. The travellers were all friendly and welcoming (important to me as a solo traveller) and the Tour CEO was excellent in every way. Rui Lima is the 'gold standard' of Tour CEOs! I would highly recommend this tour to friends and family.
Although described as a fast paced tour(which it was), it was a good introduction to visiting Portugal with many highlights as well as vising some lesser known parts. As someone who had not been to Portugal before and as it is so easy to get to from the UK, it was a taster for maybe visiting the country again and exploring other regions.
Overall, we had a very nice trip. The itinerary is arranged well and includes good recommendations for places to stop and points of interest to visit. The hotels are all owned by the same company called Vila Gale, and are all about what I expected for the price point � nice and comfortable with basic rooms � the one outlier was the Vila Gale Collection Alter Real, which was stunning! We had a very nice trip to Portugal overall.

We had a great time! The hotels picked for us were so great. The breakfast must have been awesome because when i came home weighed the same as when i left and we walked lots. The location of the hotels put us in the middle of the best areas. Very helpful with all our needs. Would book with them again.
