My holiday was very enjoyable, wonderful scenery, great food and company. The guide was excellent as were the hotels. The itinerary was well planned with plenty of time to explore on your own.
Anonymous | Traveled in May
It is a great overview and active itinerary in little bits of time in many areas. Gives one a great perspective of areas and where one may want to return and spend more time. Do not plan on lazy days of relaxing on beach or hotel

Great trip. Great guide. The first couple days always seems to be information overload. Not sure what the solution is as I understand there’s a lot of information to pass along and information on the excursions but it just seems to be overwhelming. We could have used some help after we were dropped off at the Lisbon airport. We were not sure where to go once we got inside and had to ask several times for help. Having someone from Insight vacation’s. located inside the airport would be very helpful
