Portugal Local Travel Agents

Decided to go to Portugal with about a month's notice. João listened to my rambling because I was unsure about anything other than when we would arrive and depart Portugal. João patiently adjusted the plans as I added people, removed people, added requests, and changed my mind. Once our group finally arrived, we really appreciated João's daily report on what to expect and the details for the following day. João arranged for Richardo to drive us from Lisbon to Porto and around, and back to Lisbon. Ricardo was a wonderful driver and guide over the few days we spent with him. Ricardo was so kind and made many wonderful suggestions. We also spent time with Carlos as we toured from Lisbon to Sintra to Oeiras. My husband, who always sits in the front passenger seat, really enjoyed the discussion and the perspective on Portugal's history and current events. Carlos made food recommendations that were spot on. We also spent most of one day on a walking tour with Claudia. We loved learning about a day in the life of the average Portuguese living in the capital city, surrounded by so much history and beautiful structures. We laughed so much with Claudia as her sense of humor aligned perfectly with ours. Everyone with Kimkim proudly shared their beloved hometowns and country with our group, making our time in Portugal feel like more than just a spur-of-the-moment getaway. I highly recommend and trust Kimkim to make all of our trip arrangements in the future, including when we, one day, return to Portugal.

Immerse Yourself in the Portuguese Culture by Experiencing a Fado Dinner

Portugal

The food was delicious. The performance was moving. The venue was incredible. I would have liked the venue to provide some history of the establishment, the performance, and the artist, as well as a timeline of the evening.

We walked and rode the public elevators.

Overall our guides were excellent. Coimbra was by far my favorite city. Our guide at the university did a great job of explaining the history without going into information we are not interested in.
Our hotel in Coimbra was fantastic!

We had an amazing time in Lisbon/Ponta Delgada even though the weather was not at its best.
Key people who made this possible are Rui (our guide in Lisbon) and Leandro and Pedro (our guides in Ponta Delgada).
Diana and team did a great job with coordination as we had multiple changes due to delayed/cancelled flights and some trip cancellations. Thank you again!!
