Thought we would meet tour organized on the first day at dinner. Turns out, we never met a tour organizer. Every day there was a different driver/guide, but I would say they were very knowledgeable and accommodating. One day was lost in the trip from US to Portugal. One day was lost on the trip from Lisbon to Porto. One day was lost in the trip back home. This was really only a 4-5 day vacation, not a 7 day vacation. Best improvement would be to make this a 9 day excursion to account for travel days.
