Portugal City sightseeing Trips

The itinerary allowed us to see the traditional tourist locations as well as visiting locations that we would not have seen if traveling on our own. The be my guest lunch with a local family and dinner at a family owned vineyard allowed us to experience more of the local flavor of Portugal and the people.

The itinerary was well designed to highlight all the different regions of Portugal. There was a good mix of historical, natural and man-made features of the country. The Optional Excursions also offered a good variety of activities. I feel that I now have a good idea of Portugal the country.

We went to many places in Portugal and had a good overview of the different aspects of the country. Would have loved to spend more time in certain places eg Porto and Tomar. Overall it was a very good trip. Would have been even better if group size was smaller (there were 44 people in the group) but everyone was co-operative and I really liked the seat rotation on the coach. Local guides were also very informative and time spent on the coach was not excessive, so that was really good. Points for improvement - the optional Cataplana dinner in Algarve was disappointing in terms of quality and the optional dinner after the Duoro River cruise was also not very good. The food for the farewell dinner at the vineyard was also unimpressive. Otherwise, good trip!

great itinerary because it included lots of different places. Going in November was nice as far as crowds were concerned but the early sunset was kind of a bummer because we missed sights or could have spent more time at places. we did all of the extra tours which I think helped us enjoy the country more because we saw more and tried different foods

The itinerary was very inclusive of the country. We felt we got to see all of Portugal and learned of the history and culture of each specific region.

It was absolutely wonderful to be on this tour thru Spain and Portugal. I like Sevilla with its old town and cathedral, but I was mesmerized by Cordoba an old Mosque - Cathedral and 2000 years old Roman bridge we walked thru. I also loved Toledo that I visited 20 years ago, but it looked to me much better. Barcelona stole my heart - Sagrada Familia is build up and gorgeous. Spanish People are wonderful to be with - warm, funny and happy, the food is delicious - paella and the restaurants are great. Forgot about Valencia - old town and modern Art and Science Center built by Santiago Calatrava (Oculus in New York City is his as well) Portugal is a bit different and people more reserved. I was happy to be there and see Columbus' and Vasco De Gama's graves. Great tour, recommend to all.
