What people love about Portugal Tours in August
- Best of Lisbon and The Azores: City and Nature Wonders
Our tour is in two weeks but I had to go ahead and leave a review! Tour Radar and Portugal Travel Center have been nothing short of first class and we haven’t even taken the trip yet!!! From extending our itinerary, to changing flights, booking extra train tickets and hotels, etc, they have been so accommodating and helpful! I know I haven’t been the easiest to deal with with all the changes I’ve requested thus far and they have been so professional and on top of every change that’s been made. I am already so impressed with their correspondence and aide in making this trip one that my mom and I will never forget!!! Five stars all the way!!! They are the best!!!
We saw a lot of a beautiful, historic country. We really enjoyed that the guides were local to each area such as João and Bruno, and they customized the tours based on the group, people, traffic, and personal knowledge. They always knew where to park (or who to get permission from) and peppered in personal favorite local stops in historic neighborhoods or food shops. The 3 hotels we stayed at were excellent, in safe neighborhoods, and easy walking distance to shops and such. The tour could be more efficient and consistent in a few ways. There were 4 in our cohort, 2 groups of 2, but the guides thought we were all one group and started tailoring to the elderly couple who didn't want to walk much (its not really a great tour for people up to 90 years old) - it took us a couple days to figure out that we were missing things because of this. We enjoyed staying in small-town Evora, and would have liked to stay in more small towns between Lisbon and Porto instead of looping back to those cities for the night. The two small groups were booked into different hotels in Lisbon, but the guide was not informed of this, which resulted in confusion. The guide taking us from Lisbon to Porto was instructed to just drive us there, yet our itinerary involved stops along the way, which we pushed for to a degree, but missed most of Coimbra because of this (the tour company compensated us for this a bit). The activities were not coordinated across the entire trip, so we had some duplicates. For example, we did a cooking class in Lisbon, but an introduction the the pastry we cooked was part of the Porto itinerary too. We enjoyed getting to coastal towns briefly, but it would have been nice to spend the night in one - maybe Nazare on the way between Lisbon and Porto - or Coimbra for something a little different. We were a bit surprised that we had to fund some activities, such as Chapel of Bones in Evora, yet meals were included in the Porto and Duoro Valley tour days but not earlier. Inconsistencies aside, it as a pleasant, and informative whirlwind tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the local guides and very tour small group. Now I know places I would like to visit for longer time periods on future Portugal trips.
