Hotel Reviews
Pátio do Tijolo
Lisbon

We were very happy with this hotel. It was located in a busy, popular area, but because of its setting it was a quiet oasis in a bustling area. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was good. Our only complaint would be that the room had few surfaces on which to place our things. Still, I would stay here again.

Authenticity & Character
It was clean and comfortable but with unique art and a relaxing vibe.
Location
We could walk to many of the things we wanted to see and do, but once you went through the hotel gates, you were suddenly in a calm, quiet, private space. I loved that.
Staff
They made a great effort to help with any questions we asked.
Cleanliness & Comfort
The cleaning staff did an excellent job every day.
CBR Boutique Hotel

I loved this book/library-themed hotel. It was right up my alley. The bathroom was so cool!

Location

Flores Boutique Hotel
Porto

This one had plusses and minuses. When we arrived at 1 pm they had apparently decided that was the time to repaint the front desk. There was not an obvious warning sign until I had approached the desk, and by that time my shirt was destroyed. It was oil-based paint. The shirt was a goner. They seemed less than sympathetic about it. Oh, well. The location was terrific. The room itself was kind of neat, and yet there was only one bedside light, no luggage racks or place to put luggage except the floor. My daughter's room had two lamps and a luggage rack. I asked if I could get even one luggage rack for our two-person room. I did not get one. The bathroom was ok, but the tub floor was 6 inches above the bathroom floor, so hazardous to get in for a shower. The breakfast was terrific. And the staff when we checked out at 5:30 am went out of their way to be helpful to us.

Authenticity & Character
But needed improvement to be more comfortable.
Location
Very centrally located for our activities, with lots of nearby shopping.
Staff
Some were amazing, some were adequate.
Cleanliness & Comfort

Private Belém Walk with Jerónimos Monastery & Riverside Monuments
Lisbon

I am glad we did this, but it was a very hot day and that impacted the experience. The monastery was lovely to visit. The riverside monuments were really interesting. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. It was a mistake to book this on the same day as the food tour. The food tour ran a little long, and it was a more than 30 minute cab ride to this tour. We barely made it, got no chance for water, bathroom, or any real lunch food.

Evening Fado Show
Evening Fado Show
Lisbon

The location was amazing, but very difficult to find. We made it into our seats moments before the show began. The address took us to a building across from a park, but the location was actually a cistern underneath the center of the park. If the directions had told us it was actually in the park, that would have been immensely helpful. That being said, the look and sound in the cistern was amazing. (Unfortunately, it was also quite warm.) The musicians were terrific an the singer was amazing. I got less education about Fado than I expected, but I loved the music.

Private Sintra & Cascais Day Trip with Pena Palace & Quinta da Regaleira Visit
Lisbon

Pena Palace was great, but it became outstanding when we were able to get a private tour with an official palace guide. We had access to all kinds of spaces that people normally cannot enter. Our palace guide was superb. What a fantastic experience. At our guide, Louis', suggestion, we did not visit the second palace. He advised it was too much to fit in and would require much strenuous walking. He disapproves of trying to visit these two palaces in one day. Instead, after a walk and lunch in Sintra, he took us to Cabo Da Roca, to a beach, and then dropped us off in Cascais.

I really enjoyed this Boutique hotel. The breakfast was great and the servers Gabriel and Amiro knew me every morning and ordered my omelet right away. We also ate dinner here and the food was also excellent in the regular restaurant, The only thing I didn't like is the bathroom. The sink was in between a room for the toilet and a room for the shower so there was no privacy. Also, the doors slid open to go in and they were very loud so it was hard to be quiet when using them in the middle of the night without waking my roommate. The hotel was centrally located and we were able to walk everywhere. Right around the corner from the train station with the gorgeous tiles and the Flower street with many shops and fun places to go.

The excursions were so well coordinated, our guides were very knowledgeable about the country’s history, the landscape, food, wine, and we appreciated the fun Lisbon/ Porto rivalry…
Dennis from the kayaking tour was great, he made us all feel safe and included,
I even did the cliff jump for the first time ever! So exhilarating.
I loved tea and biscuits on the beach, it sounds strange but very necessary after being in the frigid waters,
The caves felt mystical, and the religious structure that was built, was unbelievable…
The e-bikes and chartered boat ride were both a fun and exciting way to see the city,
The train ride was a first for the family, it was comfortable and scenic,
Our private driver Filipe, did many of our transfers, he was very personable, gave great recommendations- for food, scenery. We went to Sintra which was stunning, every step worth it.
The beaches were fun, we did a public beach, then found a little hidden inlet in/ on the rocks, , small amount of people, lovely afternoon lounging.
The destinations are all beautiful, and offer a different vibe, loved them all.
Definitely return trip.
Food was amazing, loved the culinary tour, we were able to do some tastings in the Balhoa market, girls experienced oysters for the first time.,
Lots of first on this trip..
We met some very cool and interesting people, 2 airline pilots, students, and another lovely family.
The birthday dinner at during sunset was spectacular . Great food, nice atmosphere.
We went to a restaurant on the beach Zephyr, also spectacular food and great sunset.
We did a lot of walking, the hills were my cardio for the day, also didn’t feel so guilty about all the tasty desserts we consumed along the way.
We tasted many of the famous pastry, we didn’t get to sample the one in Belim, short on time, but it was fun sampling the different bakeries…in all the cities.

Trip planning this way is highly recommended… most of the work is planned, and space is left for one’s own curiosity or lounging.

Will definitely use the service again and recommend it to friends and family.
Thank you Emily for all your time and effort,
You helped to make my sweet girls 16th bday a lifetime memory.🥰

Olá, Nicola! Your review warmed my heart, thank you. 😊 I'm so happy the trip was so incredible, especially for the birthday girl. I remember my time traveling abroad when I was 16, and it stuck with me forever! Meeting people from all over is also what makes traveling so special. We'd love to help plan your next international adventure, wherever it may be. Can't wait to see where you and your family go next!🇵🇹 -Emily
