Christmas & New Year Tours in Portugal

Picture yourself celebrating Christmas in Porto's markets with all the lights. Lisbon's decorations lighting everything up, Sintra's romantic palaces, Madeira's New Year fireworks over the harbor. Attend midnight mass in churches with centuries of history, taste traditional bolo rei cake, explore medieval towns all decorated, warm up with ginjinha liqueur, watch those spectacular fireworks over Funchal's harbor when the new year comes in.

    I would not use Tourradar or its operator, Wanderful Holidays again. First there was not the promised pickup at the Libson airport so I had to call the emergency contact and leave a message. Then the first Libson hotel was very bad...you had to carry you luggage up a flight of steps with no handrail just to get to the old lift at floor zero. Then take that to find a person at reception at floor 1. The room sink countertop was varnished plywood and 6 ft window over sink with shutters had massive paint curled and peeling. The old floors creaked loudly. The tour company booked tours for my first two days departing hotel before their breakfast service even started at 8am...so no buffet breakfast for me. You could do this tour without them and save hundreds through Portugal by simply online booking minivan tours through "Livingtours" and taking Uber or taxis to their tour office to then catch tours. That is what Tourradar did. I was alone and sat with strangers on minivan half day or full day tours with Livingtours. I almost missed my scheduled train from Libson to Porto because Tourradar clearly did not allow enough time, even for moving traffic of 40 minutes. I never got to my assigned 1st class seat ( I sat 11 cars away in second class) because there was not time to move to my reserved seat/car down the platform. The second hotel was better, in Porto, but they booked me , a 300 lb man in a twin bed. I could not even push the twins together because of a fixed, mounted to the wall side table between them. Sleep was not good. On one of the Porto day trips I had to pay for lunch on my own, even though voucher/itinerary said " included lunch". I did seek reimbursement from Tourradar on that. The tour operator company was too wordy and lengthy in their call center communications via What's App. I would not book travel through them.
