    This was a most amazing tour. We signed up for the small group, but ended up being 'just us'. The guides were superb and provided a real insight into the culture, the history and their passion for Portugal throughout the tours.

    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.

    The guides were friendly, professional, and knowledgable. Victhor, in particular, was exceptional! The Noble House and the Turim Oporto were both lovely hotels. The location, staff, and breakfast at the Avani were all good but the room was dark, cramped, and worn. Regarding the itinerary, we felt like we spent too much time in the car and too much time looking at castles and churches. We spent three nights in Lisbon but didn't get to see much of it because were we whisked off in a car to see small towns located far away. The day trip to Sintra made sense, but I think a day touring Lisbon would have been better than all the small towns we saw on the other days. Our guides worked with us and we removed a couple of towns, but I think the middle three days of this itinerary could be improved by spending a full day touring Lisbon. It felt like we spent as much time in the car as we spent sightseeing.

    This was a fantastic tour! We had wonderful tour guides in each city and their historical and cultural knowledge were immense. I had the typical expectation of a minivan with many other people but this was first class and incredibly personalized. Also the hotels were all top notch. This was our first time in Portugal, it had been a very long time since we vacationed... it was great just to show up each morning and have our day completely planned for us. Truly wonderful!!! Thank you Pedro and Joao... your personalities and personal attention really made our trip very memorable!

    This was our first time using tourradar and Portugal Travel Center was recommended by an agent over the phone when we called to clear some doubts. Every detail was perfect and we didn't have any issues the entire time. Our consultant Pedro created an unforgettable trip for our family of 4 adults. The hotels were top notch and we were treated like VIPs. The walking tour guides were fantastic, we felt like a family member was showing us around Portugal. Transactions were all punctual and the vehicles were clean. Pedro created a personalized trip, based on exactly what we wanted: sightseeing days and leisure days, all within budget. He was so patient with our many emails of ideas and changes. We can't wait to book with him again for another trip when we return to Portugal!
