-Getting the car was easy! -Eurostars Hotels in Porto and Lisbon are rated 5 star but in my opinion are not really 5 star. They are clean, have good beds and breakfast but are bland. If we ask for 5 star hotels we would expect some local class not simply a hotel that all the big tour groups use. A smaller, boutique type hotel with large rooms would be good. -The Cascade Wellness Hotel in Lagos was a great way to finish the trip. -The Duro River Cruise was great! -Whenever I had a question I always received an answer withing 8-10 hours!! That was good.Show more

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re truly happy to hear that you found the car rental process smooth, enjoyed the Duoro River Cruise, and that your stay at the Cascade Wellness Hotel in Lagos was a wonderful way to end your trip. We also appreciate your honest comments regarding the Eurostars Hotels in Porto and Lisbon. Your insight about preferring smaller, boutique-style properties with more local character is very valuable to us. We completely understand your perspective — while those hotels are chosen for their comfort, service, and convenient locations, we’ll gladly keep your preference in mind for future arrangements to better match your expectations.
