Our 7 day Lisbon and Porto tour was outstanding in all categories; Being met by a driver at airport and train station with a smile. Excellent vehicles. Our accommodation staying at Turin hotels were superb. Our tour guides were very punctual and very friendly. The places we visited were exceptional. Our anniversary was even more special when Nuno met us with roses and chocolates. The tour we had with him in the Duoro was amazing, fun and informative. Thank you for a memorable time, we highly recommend this tour. Sam and Dianne from Australia
Best of Lisbon & Porto - 7 DaysEverything was great about this tour. The hotel was an excellent choice. The drivers from the port and to the airport were nice and much appreciated. Pedro, our main guide for three days was a joy to be with. A very knowledgeable and friendly guide, a safe driver, etc. On day two the power went out throughout Iberia, so Sintra closed on us (more reason to come back again). Pedro and the hotel worked hard, went above and beyond and took great care of us throughout. We highly recommend Pedro, the Lisboa Plaza Hotel and this tour company.
Best of Lisbon Tour (with Sintra, Évora and Cascais) - 5 Days in PortugalMy family and I really enjoyed our trip to Portugal. The tour company made it easy to enjoy the trip without having to organize and research each step of the trip. Each guide did a very good job. We were also happy that we upgraded our tour to have private transfers and upgraded hotels. The transfers made it easy to get to each location easily with such a busy schedule. I also really appreciated the prompt communication I experienced with the tour company. Any time I had a question or needed assistance, I received an answer quickly. I would use this tour company again.
