    Well organized tour. Tour guide George was friendly, knowledgeable and kind. 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. Use single supplement.

    Tour Director excellent. Attentive, informative and organized. Happy that he was assigned to this role. Some of stops were not as successful as hoped because of the weather conditions. But the tour design achieved a great first introduction to Portugal.

    The 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. Lisbon also, except for half a monastery ( without the chapel) what did we see? Thankfully we spent extra days in Lisbon ans explored the city. The other towns were

    First tour with a group larger than 15-17 people, still unsure I like the size (40+). That aside, Trafalgar certainly knows tourism and gave us many opportunities to really see and learn about Portugal. Our guide Daniel was extremely knowledgeable and provided insights and stories to illustrate what we were experiencing. All in all a good experience!

    The tour was fantastic. We met a great group of people who were fun to be with. In addition, the tour guide (Isabelle Vergara) was excellent and very knowledgeable. She handled all sorts of situations and kept everyone happy. The driver did a great job even driving on those windy mountain roads.
