Portugal Luxury Trips & Experiences

Beautiful grounds and wonderful staff. Breakfast was great. However, room was the smallest and most basic. In addition, while it did overlook the garden, it also overlooked the restaurant which plays music and is fairly loud until 11pm. Might have been better in a room facing the back. Also, room was on the second floor so might be tough for some climbing stairs and carrying luggage

Very unique place, short walk to town. Staff amazingly helpful. Wine and cheese in the afternoon with Fado one day. We had a suite with external access. Quite. Beautiful

Highlight of our trip. Amazing location, quiet. Staff were super.

Hotel in need of updating. Long walk to room and from room to dining. The grounds and gardens are pretty special. Not an easy place to walk from or to the town

Fantastic hotel with the best restaurant attached. Breakfast was the best of the entire trip.

Certified guide, another Luís, who was fantastic, great driver, even took us to an local beach

The palaces were wonderful. This trip wears the only one without a certified (by Portugal) guide. The guide was very nice but seemed to be filling in for his son in law In addition, entrance fees were apparently not included for two locations despite assurances we had already paid. Kimkim was great in refunding rapidly. Thank you.

Can we give more than 5 stars? Best overall day in Portugal. Ended up joining a wine club and could have spent a few days there. Wine liver paradise. So scenic!

Walked down to the Nova Gaia and toured the Calem Lodge. Best view of Porto from across the river.

Got a lay of the town. Great certified guide

Guide was excellent. Experience was mixed at best. Aveiro is a very nice town. Highlight were the salt ponds and seeing the workers up close, Costa Nova (although empty this time of year). The town and canals not really worth it. The “gondolas” don’t go anywhere and the canals don’t even connect.

Certified guide. Really interesting regarding the university. The guide was a graduate.

Needed downtime and exploration. Added the convent de Carmo Which was amazing

Pretty fun and good to be sitting. Saw a ton of the city we might not have otherwise.

Certified guide, Rui, was excellent. Lot of walking and stapes but really helped to orient to place and history

Room was the nicest of our trip. Only annoying thing was not being able to check in until 4 pm the day we arrived.

Room was small but otherwise no problems

Great location, clean room. Staff was nice.

It would be nice if the tour was adaptable to the weather, surely more tasting experiences could be done inside. The day of our tour it was freezing and rainy and we were outside for the majority of it. It also wasn’t a lot of food and my husband was still hungry at the end. Additionally, we didn’t drink alcohol and it would have been nice if the guide didn’t announce it to the group in an embarrassing way at every single stop.

The guide was very nice. However, the tuk tuk itself was loud and uncomfortable. It was hard to see out of the roof covering and we whizzed past so many sites without really taking them in. It probably would have been nice for people accustomed to tuk tuk rides, but for us it was a bit overwhelming.

Our guide was very nice and seemed knowledgeable. The prehistoric sites themselves probably weren’t worth staying an extra day for, most of the tour was driving or walking to the different sites. Maybe if this tour was combined with something else to make it more satisfying?

We loved this. Guide was great, the lunch was so much more food than we were expecting, and delicious. Saw some cool views of the park. Overall a very nice day.

We had a great time and made a bunch of delicious food.
