This trip covered the cities with the most attractions and sights in Northern Portugal. Our guides Catarina and Marianna were wonderful and caring. Both spoke perfect English and shared a lot of historical information. Both were always available on WhatsApp during our free time. The tour allowed us to see many cities in just one week. We were kept on the move from city to city, but there was plenty of free time. The old towns were so interesting and unique. Strolling on the stone sidewalks and glancing at the tiled buildings is a memory I will never forget. Sintra’s palace and gardens were also a highlight. The wine tastings were very enjoyable. Portugal’s food is incredible and I tried many new dishes. I combined this trip with Walking Portugal’s Coasts and Beaches, which made a perfect holiday of historic sights and coastal beach scenery.

Valerie Merges Highlights of Portugal
David Reynolds Highlights of PortugalGood introduction to central Portugal. Moving on after one night at each location quite tiring. Extra time at each end of Porto and Lisbon necessary to give the cities justice. Could do with more time in Douro valley to enjoy the benefits of the hotel and location.
Jean MahMEH Cycling Portugal's Atlantic Coast – Premium AdventureIf you are a cyclist and have not cycled Portugal’s Atlantic coast or have cycled the interior only this trip is for you. Travelling from Porto to Lisbon you will have a chance to view the fabulous white golden beaches, the charming beach villages, pine scented forests, nature reserves and taste the wines of the region. Portugal has the most amazing cycling paths I have ever experienced- on this trip the road was moderately undulating capped by a major ascent at Serra da Boa Viagem . We had the opportunity to sample a wide variety of seafood and portuguese specialties thanks to the suggestions of our guides Armando and Ruben and their knowledge of the best places to dine. A nice touch was a guided walking tour of Porto and Lisbon pre and post cycling .
