Eskapas was an excellent trip! They took care of all the tedious parts of traveling, including booking all accommodation and transportation, leaving me with lots of free time to organize all the exciting activities I wanted to do in each place. The tour guide was excellent in pointing out to us the best places in the area and responding to all of our inquiries.
The itinerary for this trip was exactly what we were looking for. It was a great way to see Portugal highlights while traveling with friends who I haven't seen in a while. Highlights were time spent in Duoro Valley and all the great food and wine consumed in the beuatiful locations along the way.
The tour included a variety of experiences. It was a busy schedule designed to see much of Portugal which I wanted.
the tour director was excellent. She was professional yet able to relate to others on a personal level.
was an excellent trouble ******* when presented by unexpected challenges.
manouvered the bus expertly. He was efficient loading the cases. He was also polite and helpful getting off the bus.
Art lovers like me, this one’s for you. Portugal dazzled with art and faith. Two features jumped out immediately: Lisbon’s Monastery of Jeronimos, a Manueline masterpiece and Fatima, a place of deep meaning. Wandering Nazare’s windy cliffs and watching Atlantic surf pound felt elemental.
Obidos’ castle and ramparts invited daydreams of knights and medieval poets. The Gothic arches of Batalha took my breath away. Porto's tile-covered churches and artistic heritage felt soulful as we sampled local port wines beside the Douro River.
The highlight was Coimbra, Europe’s amazing academic city, steeped in history and tradition. The old university chapel’s 18th-century Portuguese Baroque design left me speechless.
Guides were enthusiastic and informative. If you love art, faith, and ocean air, this tour is a rich tapestry not to be missed.
