Portugal City sightseeing Trips

It would be impossible to have a favorite…. As much as I loved seeing all the old city centers as well as walled cities, cathedrals and palaces, I really enjoyed meeting and getting to know all the other members in our group! Some were from the US and others from Australia and Korea. The dinners where we were all together are some of my favorite memories!

This tour was packed with sights, sounds, and tastes of Portugal, as well as much history surrounding the castles, palaces, cathedrals, and towns. The main tour guide, Pascal, as well as the Local Specialists were most informative and helped to make this a most memorable adventure. As advised in the brochure, a lot of walking was required, and it was worth it! My favorite location was the Ponta de Piedade, the sea-shaped cliffs in the Algarve, even with the 190 steps.

It was a very comprehensive trip, allowing us to experience the beauty of Portugal, get to know some of its history, and meet some wonderful people who love Portugal and are devoted to promoting their country.

Our tour director and driver were awesome. We had a lot of fun and it was a great experience. This was our first bus tour and although it was a great experience I am not sure we are suited to this mode of travel. I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to try a bus tour. Everyone is different and a lot of people really enjoy this mode of travel. Even though this type of travel is not for us the experience was excellent.

This was our third Trafalgar tour and love the tour directors and hotels. The sites they choose are unique and very historical the whole tour is balance and well plan

Overall a great trip. Like anything, there’s always room for improvement. This is a new offering from Trafalgar and at times, things seemed a little disorganized but I would expect that with a newly offered tour. Food offered had highs and lows (with dinner at Hotel Carmen in Grenada being at the bottom but the view from its rooftop bar made up for it). Really enjoyed the flamenco show dinner. It was one of the best we had. Highlight for us was Costa del Sol - absolutely loved the hotel, the vibe and everything we did in that region. Definitely did not get enough time at Plaza Espana in Seville. What a gem that was! The horse farm was just ok and I honestly think you could eliminate it from the itinerary. I would have liked a day extra in Morocco and/or Lisbon. Especially since the ferry to and from Tangier was rather arduous. The hotel in Lisbon was not in a great area, kind of plain (with incredibly dark rooms;like truly hard to see at times) and it wasn’t near anything so I would suggest finding something closer to old town in the future. We enjoyed our trip and would be open to another Trafalgar tour in the future.
