Too little time spent on optional excursions. Hotels okay. City tours only from bus. Little walking tour of Lisbon...

Lisbon Hotel (first three days) was pretty bad, and didn’t set the best tone for the trip. Loved tour guide...

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are delighted to learn that you had the chance to immerse yourself in the local culture and cuisine during your trip to Portugal. We have noted your comments regarding your transfers; however, we do offer chargeable transfers should our allocated times for the complimentary pick-up and drop-off not suit you. We recognise that you would have liked for some of the Optional Experiences to have been included in the itinerary; however, we offer these to allow our guests to explore further or to give those that would prefer to undertake independent sightseeing or leisure time the opportunity to do so. Many of our guests enjoy the possibility of showing appreciation to our dedicated team, so we provide the option to pre-pay gratuities or alternatively extend them at the end of the trip. Still, all gratuities do remain voluntary; however, we truly regret to learn that this was not communicated to you during the time of your booking. That said, we still hope that you have taken lots of lasting highlights away from your time in Portugal.
