FANTASTIC TRIP!!! It was such a wonderful, stress-free, seamless, and great vacation experience. We cannot thank Portugal Travel Center and Daniela in particular, for all the expertise and professionalism on their behalf to plan and execute such a great trip for us! It was the perfect blend of historical, cultural, and scenic beauty. We added on the Azores, for a total of 13 days. The drivers and guides, including Hugo, George, Marsio, Alex, Manuel, Felipe, Rasmus, Riccardo, and any others who were with us, were so knowledgeable, friendly, kind, and passionate about their amazing Portugal. They were a joy to be with! The activities Portugal Travel Center arranged for us such as the tours, lunches, wine experiences, dinners, fado music show, cooking lesson, boat cruise, tea and pineapple plantations, and all the guided city and scenic tours were beyond our expectations. We could not have asked for more, nor would we have seen so much on our own! The hotel accommodations were great, varied in location and surroundings, and all were perfect for our trip. Thanks also need to be expressed for the stress free airline flight from Porto to Ponte Delgado, including taking care of our baggage fees ahead of our departure and all the transfers to and from the airports. We truly appreciated all the time Daniela and PTC took to answer ALL of our questions and concerns and to help us plan an itinerary that was exactly what we wanted! I exchanged nearly 30 emails, in addition to several calls, with Daniela about itineraries, things to experience, etc., as I was a bit nervous about dealing with a travel agency outside the United States. She, and all the staff at PTC, were kind, professional, and very informative in all exchanges. We are hoping to explore more of Portugal with their help, in the future, such as Madeira and more islands of the Azores. We will be telling all our friends and family about Portugal Travel Center and how great our experience was!
