    The tour plan is very good, we really enjoyed the activities in Lisbon and the free time we had in the city, however in Porto there is little free time and there is not much opportunity to get to know the city, also, in our case, on the city tour there was no opportunity to learn about history or the most important sites in the city. The quality and location of the hotels is magnificent and the train ride is efficient and fast.

    A great way to see the two feature cities of Portugal and their surroundings. The location of both hotels was excellent and the Porto one was excellent. The included tours and guides were great particularly in Porto. The Douro Valley tour is beautiful. We were happy we booked the extra day before the tour started. With more days we would have done the Aveiro, Paiva walkways and Arouca 516 footbridge tour which looked fantastic although with a lot of walking. This could be done with optional extra pre-days. Overall very happy with the work Aurora put into allow us to independently move around Portugal without being in a tour group.

    Exploring Portugal via high-speed train was a seamless blend of structured sightseeing and personal exploration. Caterina, our Lisbon guide, was exceptional—knowledgeable and accommodating. The tour struck the right balance, allowing us to delve into Porto and Lisbon at our own pace. A delightful, well-rounded experience.

    The trip was a seamless delight! Porto's hotel was sheer perfection, offering top-notch service and comfort. However, the Lisbon hotel, while splendid, demanded a bit of a trek—45 minutes from the Old Town. Nevertheless, the tours were fantastic, flawlessly organized, and precisely timed, allowing hassle-free exploration. From start to finish, the connections were impeccable, ensuring a smooth, enjoyable travel experience. Overall, a wonderful journey, albeit with a small stride's inconvenience in Lisbon's accommodation location.

    The Portugal by Train tour was a fantastic experience overall. Exploring the country via train was delightful, although the hotels' central locations were lacking. However, they were well-connected to main attractions. Our minor mishap at the Lisbon station was swiftly resolved thanks to the efficient emergency contact; they helped us reschedule our transfer seamlessly. Despite this hiccup, the trip offered a wonderful way to discover Portugal's beauty, making it a highly recommended adventure.
