We loved our trip to Portugal. Pedro did a great job of listening to our needs and planning an amazing Portugal experience for the four of us. Our drivers were exceptional. Carlos and Ricardo were especially informative, fun and flexible during our day long rides.
The boutique hotels were special. We feel in love with the Hotel Britania in Lisbon. This was a perfect place to begin our journey. We also loved the hotels in Lagos (beautiful view of ocean) and the Miragem in Cascais(lovely pool and spa). The breakfasts were delicious and the staffs at these hotels were friendly and helpful. The only hotel that disappointed us was the hotel in Porto, the Eurostar. This was not Pedro's fault as he had given us options and we chose to be on the river. This hotel was sterile feeling and not particularly welcoming.
The itinerary was perfect and we loved all places we visited. The tour guides, Silvia in Lisbon and Sarah in Porto, were excellent. Our day in the Douro Valley was magical and we are all still talking about the amazing food we had at our lunch at the winery.
We are home with amazing memories that will stay with us and loving the country and people of Portugal.
Hotel Reviews
This hotel is a real gem. The location was beautiful. The staff friendly and welcoming. The breakfasts delicious. We loved history and the art deco furnishings. One of the nicest boutique hotels we have ever stayed in.
While this hotel is right on the river, it feels very corporate and sterile in comparison to the other lovely hotels we stayed in while in Portugal.
Wonderful staff. Very accommodating and friendly. Great location. Beautiful view. Delicious breakfasts.
We thought this was a wonderful hotel. All the comforts: great location, welcoming and friendly staff.

Our day in the Douro Valley was absolutely magical. The winery we visited was the best wine tour we've ever been on, and the lunch there was incredible, probably one of the best meals of our trip. We had choices for our entrees, and all of them were accompanied by different wines. The scenery was beautiful, and our driver, Ricardo, made the experience even more enjoyable with his personal stories and history. It was a perfect day.
The private walking tour in Lisbon was fantastic. Sylvia, our guide, was very knowledgeable and provided us with so much information that was almost overwhelming—but in a good way. We almost rehired her for another tour because we wanted more. The tour was very well done, and trying Pastel de Nata was a highlight.
