Robin· May 7th, 2025Enjoyable and not over-taxingShow more
Trafalgar commented on this reviewThank you for sharing your feedback and for being our guest. We are thrilled you have enjoyed the tour and found it not overly taxing.Trip date: April 2025- Tasnia· November 18th, 2024Well organized tour. Tour guide George was friendly, knowledgeable and kind. Our driver Fernando was extraordinary good. Local guide Ju was phenomenal. Hotels were very nice. For solo travelers - a piece of advice: do not share room with another solo traveler for the sake of saving some money. Your roommate will be assigned to the sit next to you on the coach/bus the entire tour. Speaking from my experience, it can be a nightmare. Use single supplement.Show moreTrafalgar commented on this reviewWe sincerely appreciate your choice to travel with Trafalgar. Thank you for being our guest.

- Aradhana· February 20th, 2024The tour director and driver were excellent but the program could have been better managed. The program priority was on optional trips and included items in the itinerary were brushed over. The two major cities , Lisbon and Porto portion were not done justice to. Just an orientation in the bus did not do justice to the town's. Instead of the winnery tour a historical places tour would have been better.
