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.

- 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.
