Very good tour guides! Good accommodations. Good transportation. Good food !
All tourist sites that I visited and optional experiences that I chose were excellent. I especially enjoyed touring the cities of Sintra, Porto, Monsaraz, Nazare and Obidos. All of the On-Road Team personnel were professional, well organized, kept itinerary items on schedule, and kept moments light with humor to liven up the day.
I thought the tour of itself was very good. I did think that we spent too much time at some places and not enough at others. I would give less time to shop and more time at the actual sites to visit. After a while, all the shopping areas are basically the same. We had 53 people on our tour, which is far too many. It used to be Trafalgar held to 40 and that’s what I think you should do. A number of times they had to separate our tour into two groups because of the size.
Days started too early with Long days on the coach. Not enough free time to explore UNESCO world heritage site. Two nights should of been at Evora, Portugal with free time to explore
Good pace, got to see everything we wanted to and a few nice surprises.
This tour keeps you on the move! Many stops to see cathedrals, monasteries, and castles.
We had an amazing tour guide and driver. They really went above and beyond always making us feel personally cared about. Met a great group of people and definitely will be booking another tour in the future Brenda P
The itinerary was filled with beautiful sites, wonderful food and friendly people. The local specialists were very knowledgeable and made these places and their history come alive. Personally, I liked the North of Portugal a little more than the deep south, but it was interesting to see the contrast. Our travel directory, Nuno, was outstanding, as was our driver, Carlos. They made this trip special. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see Portugal.
The itinerary covered the highlights of Portugal, however some of the optional excursions should be worked in as part of the included experiences.
It was absolutely fantastic. We saw soo many beautiful sights!!! It was simply amazing!!!
Many nights eating dinner too late in the evening to get a good nights sleep.
Ask for travel director Catarina Ferrera, she was awesome and very fun full of energy.
Our tour guide Scott and our driver Amaro made this trip so special.
Very busy itinerary that covered a lot of the country
I loved it but very busy schedule
Well planned, thoughtful attractions with good selection of optional tours. As well we had an exceptional tour director and coach driver! There simply was no issue, big or small they could not resolve!
