I was a bit worried at the start with the room confusion but once that was straightened out, I felt much better. I have never been on a group tour and loved the small size of the group. I knew before our first dinner was over that it was going to be a great trip. It was well organized, our CEO Gabriela was simply amazing, our group was great and I am already looking at the next trip I will take with G Adventures. Thank you.
We had wonderful trip with private tour guide Carlos. He is very professional, very knowledgeable and funny. He understood my husband's passion for photography, our interests of history and culture, our love for great food.
Thank you, Carlos
I traveled alone and was assigned 2 different roommates as it was different tours. The program was packed and sometimes was tiring but I would not ask for less. The itinerary was well thought off and planned so would not change anything except to spend more time in Andoora as I felt that was a bit rushed and there was still so much more I wished to see.
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.

This was an absolutely amazing trip! Every day was full of really interesting experiences. Spain might be the most enchanting country that we have ever visited. We didn't want the trip to end. I highly recommend this Expat adventure!
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.
It was a very inclusive trip. I felt I really got to know the cuisine and culture. We explored the different regions and the countryside is stunning. The picture is the view from my hotel balcony.
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.
Recommend this tour. Mini van with a driver and tour guide. The guide was so informative, a really lovely lady. Driver was on the ball - it was a couple of days into the trip he revealed he could understand english.
