What people love about Portugal Tours in August
- Best of Lisbon and The Azores: City and Nature Wonders
Take the trip! Everything ran so smoothly and it was so nice having transfers, etc already taken care of. All of our guides - Marta in Lisbon and Paulo and John in the Azores were fantastic! In Lisbon we were the only two on the tour with Marta and in the Azores we were with one other person one day and 6 other people the next which was great! You aren’t with a full bus of people being herded around. I can’t recommend this your enough! We also added a few days after the Azores and went to Porto which I highly suggest! Porto is super hilly like Lisbon but well worth the extra 2/3 day addition to the trip! We absolutely LOVED working with your radar and Portugal Travel Company and can’t wait to plan our next trip! I would give this more than 5 stars if I could!!
- Portugal By High-Speed Train
I would not go on a trip as a single as you are not grouped with a group. Thankfully I met a friend on this trip. We booked the same trip, same itinerary. We were at the same hotel this first stop and different hotels the second stop which was extremely inconvenient. We called to correct this and were asked if we realized this before the trip. We had not realized the discrepancy. We were then hung up on. If you have a problem I’m not sure you would get much help. Scary thought if you had a more serious issue in a different country.
- Highlights of Portugal - Lisbon, Alentejo, Sintra, Porto and Douro Valley
We did the Best of Lisbon & Porto Tour -7 Days. It was organized and private. We enjoyed Lisbon & Porto. The guides were superb and took good care of us. They arrived on time, very informative, & friendly, The transport was luxurious. We also enjoyed the train ride to Porto. Douro Valley was breathtaking. We tried many local dishes and they were delicious. I highly recommend this tour. Portugal Travel Center did a great job creating our personalized itinerary . Out communication was easy & they responded right away to my emails to answer my questions. Muito obrigado!
