Portugal Tours in September 2027

Highlights were Opera night with singing waiters, Flamingo and Fado plus Toledo and the Black Madonna at Montserrat. Our tour guide was excellent- very knowledgeable, articulate and caring. Our group was incredible compatible and we had great fun together.

Best of Portugal was a great tour. The tour director, *personal info removed by Feefo, was very knowlegeable. *personal info removed by Feefo, our driver, was amazing. How he managed to drive the coach down some of the narrow streets was incredible. The tour specialists in each are were so knowledgeable and the history was amazing. This was the first bus tour i have been on and it exceeded my expectations. I will travel with Trafalgar again.

I had excellent overall experience on this tour. The travellers were all friendly and welcoming (important to me as a solo traveller) and the Tour CEO was excellent in every way. Rui Lima is the 'gold standard' of Tour CEOs! I would highly recommend this tour to friends and family.

The trip followed the beautiful coastal route, the hotels were excellent and the restaurants and food was great. The guides were perfect: considerate, helpful, fun, informative and extremely attentive to all of our needs. There was variety in the route as well, we rode through villages, along the coast, through forests, and through marshes. Like minded people tend to do this tour so many friendships were made along the way. I opted for the electric bike and never regretted the choice - I was able to select how much effort I wished to make and was therefore not intimidated by the climbs and was able to enjoy the scenery.

A fantastic tour with two knowledgeable, engaging, caring and highly professional tour guides, Francisco and Rafael. The mix of hillside and coastal walks interspersed with some visits to local industries and artisans gave us a real insight into the rich culture of the Algarve. Grade 2 is right but definitely moderate rather than leisurely with a couple of more challenging stretches during the walks - take walking poles if you are thinking about using them. The 3 hotels were all very good. Like previous Exodus trips we clicked with enough of the group to have some great conversations and a lot of laughs. Highly recommended.

The Azores are very much unspoilt. Each island has unique geology which we saw close up. The volcanoes range from 800,000 years to 70 years old. Tania the guide is well versed in the human story of the islands from their discovery through to modern times. The coastal swimming pools are a delight at the end of the some the walks. Take your swimmers! Dolphins are plentiful in September, the main whale watching season is earlier in the year (April/May?).
