What people love about Fully Guided Tours in Portugal
I took my daughter on this ten-day tour to Portugal before dropping her off to Santiago de Compostela for two months of study at the University for Spanish. It was the perfect tour, the day trips were very interesting. I didn’t realize that we were going to have our own personal tour guide driver for most of the trips and it was a lovely surprise. The Hotels were Centrally Located, not totally in the old city centers but close enough to walk every day mostly Or if not then to take an Uber or taxi for nominal fee. All of the guides were incredible And accommodating. Our private vehicles were Mercedes so the drives were exceptionally comfortable . We had 2 wine tours in the douro Valley and a tour in Porto of a port wine company again I guess I didn’t read everything but I didn’t expect those tours ..The only tours that we had that were with other people had less than six people… The Portuguese people are incredibly nice and mostly speak English so that was a lovely addition that I was not aware of frankly . I would highly suggest his tour I think it’s an incredible very in-depth tour of beautiful Portugal!!
Portugal Best Experience - 10 Days
- Highlights of Portugal
The best parts of the tour were the guides, Carlos and Gonzoles, cheese village and Quinta de Tedo. In order to write everything that made Carlos and Gonzoles excelent guides would take a week and result in a book. They were compassionate, caring, intelligent, knowledgeable. playful and fun people to hang out with and learn from. They made Portugal come alive for me.
- Porto to Lisbon Atlantic Ride
Great ride, pedaling along the beach and through forests, many miles of which are bicycle path and board walk. The bicycle provided were perfect, lightweight, front suspension MTBs with provided large capacity handlebar bag. The ride was not overly taxing, although hillier as the days went on. The cafe stops were delightful. Historic and natural beauty surrounded us. Hotels and buffet breakfasts were perfect. The guide Alex a Portugal native was superb, corralling us as needed for safety, espousing on history, geography and such. We had a friendly group and a lovely time. Highly recommended.
What our customers ask about Portugal Guided Tours & Trips
What does a typical day look like on a fully guided Portugal tour?
Your day begins with breakfast at your included hotel such as the Neya Hotel in Porto. Morning activities focus on guided exploration of key sites like the Douro Valley or Lisbon's old quarters. After lunch you'll join cultural activities such as port wine tastings or explore charming towns like Obidos. Evenings are usually free for independent dining or optional experiences like traditional Fado shows. A recent traveler noted: "Our CEO Daniel made various suggestions for activities and meals while still being flexible in letting us choose our own activities. The orientation walks on the first day of each city helped us make decisions more easily."
What type of accommodations can I expect on a fully guided tour in Portugal?
Most tours provide centrally located 3-4 star hotels that blend comfort with authentic Portuguese character. Properties like the VIP Executive Entrecampos in Lisbon and Hotel Maria Nova Lounge in Tavira offer amenities such as rooftop bars pools and local restaurants. According to a recent guest: "The hotels were lovely including Hotel Astoria in Coimbra which is a beautiful and grand slice of history centrally located and on the river."
What is included in terms of meals on fully guided Portugal tours?
Tours typically cover daily hotel breakfasts and several group dinners featuring local specialties. You might enjoy a Farm-to-Table experience in the Douro Valley or fresh seafood by the coast in Nazaré. One traveler reported: "The included meals were fantastic - especially the welcome dinner with Fado music in Lisbon and the wine-paired dinner at Quinta da Pacheca in the Douro Valley." Some tours include lunch during day trips but also leave time to explore local restaurants on your own with recommendations from your guide.
What is the typical group size on fully guided tours in Portugal?
Groups usually range from 12-24 travelers allowing for personal attention and access to smaller venues. A recent participant shared: "With 16 people in our group it was the perfect size - intimate enough to get to know everyone but large enough to be social. Our guide could give individual attention when needed." These smaller numbers enable stays at boutique properties like the Velamar in Albufeira and visits to family vineyards that larger groups couldn't accommodate.
What is the best time of year to take a guided tour in Portugal?
Spring (March-May) and fall (September-October) provide optimal conditions for touring Portugal. These months offer comfortable temperatures for exploring cities like Lisbon and Porto with fewer tourists at popular spots such as Sintra's palaces. One traveler noted: "We went in April and it was perfect - warm enough for outdoor activities but not too hot for city walks with beautiful spring flowers blooming in Madeira." Summer can get quite hot particularly inland near Évora while winter brings rain but better prices and smaller crowds.
What level of physical activity should I expect on a fully guided Portugal tour?
Tours generally involve moderate walking on varied surfaces including cobblestone streets and hills especially in Porto and Lisbon. Expect to walk 2-3 hours daily at an easy pace. A recent guest shared: "The pace was well-planned without feeling over-regimented. The overall pace was just right with plenty of time to relax." Some itineraries particularly in the Douro Valley offer optional activities like vineyard walks or extended city exploration.
