Portugal 10-Day Tours and Trips

This tour was exactly what we were looking for to explore the history and culture of Portugal. Fantastic tour guide who went above and beyond), small group (we had 12), engaging and informative activities with enough down time to do our own thing. So much better than a big bus tour, we were able to go into small villages and out of the way places. Accomodation and the meals provided were excellent. All activities and entrance fees to attractions were covered in the cost so no nasty surprises. Highly recommended.

A great way to see Portugal. Traveling along on the by roads. A small number of people on the tour. So much more intimate and friendly. Our guide was very knowledgeable on points of interest and historical information. Would do it again Accommodation was excellent too.

This was a trip was several years in the making after only getting a glimpse of Portugal as part of another Trafalgar trip I took. This trip exceeded my expectations and mainly this was due to inside knowledge of Portugal by a local (Nunu) tour director. For the style of travel I like, this really made the difference to obtain perspective and make the trip less "touristy" and more of a learning experience. I really felt connected to Portuguese culture and got to see it more from a local perspective. There were many huge advantages even in community that the tour director had, as opposed to my previous trip in the region, and I saw a huge difference in repeat events I did which were exponentially better. There were local events thst could have destroyed many part of the tour but Nunu successfully helped us get around the local country shortcomings (e.g., strikes, closures). Expert driving as well. Kudos.

I had a fantastic experience through out the entire trip. It was well organised but no pressure to do certain activities. Recommendations for activities or restaurants were very high and I was fortunate to meet such an a wing group of people

The was excellent , the crew Laura and Mello, were first class. The planning, the detail, and the thought that went into the trip rates it right up there. Congratulations and we will be recommending Back Roads. Rob Elliot.

Great trip…wonderful driver & tour leader..only glitch was with Goway who we purchased the tour through…they made a mistake when booking our requested extra night at end of tour which ended in Porto where we had tickets for train to next destination…they booked hotel over 100 km away but it said Porto on itinerary…luckily our Blue Roads tour leader told us where it actually was a few nights before…Goway didn’t want to admit their mistake and wanted us to pay for changing…worked out in end after much back & forth …we travel a lot…not sure would use Goway as booking agent again.
