Marina Courtaut

Perfect combination of city tour, interesting food locations and local wine experiences. We went back to 2 of the places we saw on the tour!

It was supposed to be a private tour but we found out the day before that it was going to be a group tour and we were not offered an alternative.

The tour was supposed to be 3 hours and it was shorter by 1 hour. The guide told us that we didn’t spend enough time at the store and the tower of the castle was closed so it made the tour shorter. She should have adjusted her plan and improvise to add another element to the tour since she is a tour guide knowledgeable in the area. The cork tour itself is not enough for a tour you should add a winery tour to make it worth it.

Our guide was excellent and we enjoyed the steep hike up. He took us to a nice coffee shop and we enjoyed his company.

We didn’t have the cooking class but the local food tour. It was fine but the tour guide was more interested in talking about himself and his drinking adventures than educating us on the local food and drinks. Not impressed I heard from other tourists that they had a great time so I would say that the activity can be great if you have a good guide.

We were expecting to hike for at least 2-3 hours but the hiking was quite shorter than expected and others in the group were also surprised. The drive to get to the park was almost 2 hours each way and the van was extremely uncomfortable with too many people which means that we have to change seats along the way so people would take turn sitting at the back of the car. This is not acceptable for a 4 hour ride on the highway.

The tour was supposed to be 3 hours but it only lasted 2 hours so we didn’t get the full value. I think the description needs to clearly reflect that duration of the activity to avoid disappointment

The best meal we had in Portugal along with the best wine!

One of the highlights of the trip! The wine and food were amazing. Pedro kept us smiling the whole time.

Paulo was outstanding! He went over the 8 hours and made sure we had an excellent experience. He even gave us recommendations for the rest of the trip!

Alex was very friendly and went out of his way to show us all Lisbon has to offer!

This is an exceptional airport hotel. Not like the US airport hotels. I never heard a plane landing or taking off even though it is a 5-minute walk to Lisbon airport.

A beautiful boutique hotel across from the Marina. The restaurant was exceptional for breakfast and our Michelin star food and wine tasting was off the chain.

A beautiful hotel in the heart of Lisbon right off Liberty Avenue. The staff were excellent and handled the Spain/Portugal power outage with grace and a smile.

A beautiful hotel in the heart of Porto. The breakfasts were amazing.

Overall, I would not recommend. The coastal stops with beautiful beaches, surfers, and sheer cliffs were enjoyable, but the "Jeep" ride was brutal. St. Vincent Cape of Sagres is worth visiting, but it was a cloudy evening, so we were unable to witness the spectacular sunset.

Our driver, Nuno, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable of the history of each town and showed us the best places to eat and shop. We were in Sintra when the power went out to all of Portugal, but Nuno did not miss a beat and continued the tour even though many of the shops were closed. He even checked on us the next day to make sure we were OK.

Our guide Celia did an excellent job of showing us the history and beauty of Porto.

A good overview of local and bar-type traditional food of Portugal. The guide (can't remember his name but he wore a hat) was entertaining and even ended the evening with some magic! The ending location was a bit disappointing (a restored pool hall). Overall, a good first tour in Porto.

I was surprised at the quality of the food and wine. Excellent! The fado music was beautiful. Each group did 2 songs and then a break so it wasn’t like sitting through a whole concert. Perfect way to experience the music of Portugal with great food.

Our guide Alex was very knowledgeable in the history of Lisbon. The tour was a bit long but very well done!

The venue cancelled on us at the last minute due to a national holiday. This was not mentioned when we booked it almost 9 months prior.

This was the most beautiful part of Portugal and is a must see. Our driver Nuno added an extra stop to a port tasting.

Once in a lifetime experience!! So fun! My teenage daughter, older mother and everyone in between loved this!

Our driver and new friend, Paulo was the best tour guide in all of Portugal, I'm convinced! He gave us history lesson, life lessons and we talked about everything in between. Such a great and fun person who took great care of my family. I can't thank him enough for making our trip amazing.

We loved our driver! So nice, knowledgeable about helpful.

Our tour guide was one of the nicest people we've ever met. We ate the best food I've had in my life and had the most wonderful conversations. We learned about the history of Portugal and the food associated with its people. And we just had fun eating and drinking!
