Portugal City sightseeing Trips

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.

We had an excellent travel director in who did an amazing job of moving our full busload of 51 travelers around. We certainly saw the best of Portugal and the local travel guides were extremely knowledgeable providing a very educational trip as well. We chose to do all the optional activities which meant we were busy but we experienced so much more by doing so .

This trip gave us a wonderful journey through Portugal North and South, including so much history and culture. We enjoyed trying the different foods, our first funicular ride, centuries old various architectures and wineries and tasting their wines. The sunset river cruise was a highlight and Mass at Fatima topped off the trip for me.
