Portugal Local culture Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our Local culture Portugal tours
Jessica G | Traveled in March
I had an amazing time and made memories I will never forget. I went on my own and really appreciated the balance between group time and solo-travel time. The tour was safe and included many intriguing stops. I learned so much about the local history and culture as well. My highlights were the Fado night, walking through the streets of Coimbra, the incredible Batalha monastery, and enjoying pastel de natas and the green wine. Our guide was friendly and super helpful, always offering specific recommendations and travel tips. I do recommend the company add Sintra to the itinerary, although it was easy to coordinate ourselves during the free day in Lisbon. The town and castles in Sintra were absolutely breath-taking! I recommend the free walking tour from Porto Walkers in Porto. Overall an incredible experience and great value.

Wonderful trip. Loved the culture and the food. A nice mix of cathedrals and castles and monasteries. Sintra was excellent and loved the Cork Farm tour and also the winery. River boat ride in Porto was good as well as the Port tasting. Excellent trip overall and exactly what I was expecting. Fredy was always available and communicative. He really made the trip spectacular.
Sarah H | Traveled in January
