We had the most wonderful trip to Portugal thanks to Kim Kim and our planner Hector!!
He did a great job by giving us plenty of time in three different locations and a wide range of experiences. Probably our favorite was a winery that ended up being so much more than we could have guessed! The hotels were nice and all very different from each other. Check in processes were seamless. The only thing I would have changed was to go with his original hotel recommendation in Evora (we chose to downgraded for pricing). I have used other travel planning services in the past and was not nearly as impressed. You even get an app to keep you on target! We’ll use them again and again!

Hotel Reviews
Hotel Lisboa Plaza
Lisbon

Our room was very big for European standards and included a mini fridge. The hotel is a bit older but comfortable and everyone was very nice. The fifth floor terrace to hang out on was spacious and beautiful. An easy walk to all the riverfront activities and restaurants.

Our room was very tiny and I didn’t love the concrete floors. It was very clean though and had a mini fridge. The lobby is beautiful and the restaurant is quite good. If we had an upgraded room I think I would have enjoyed it more

Our room was spacious by European standards and very comfortable. The patio was nice and the rooftop pool was awesome, beautiful views! The restaurant was also very good and this hotel has an amazing included breakfast; not just a buffet but menu ordering. A very easy walk to the harbor.

This was such an incredible experience, probably our favorite of the trip. Without giving away too much this is far more than a normal winery visit
