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.

Eurostars Porto Douro
Porto

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.

Authenticity & Character
Location
Need to drive most places. Too far from town center.
Staff
Not welcoming at all in comparison to all the other places we stayed. Check in was rushed. Even charged extra for a bottle of water after the first day. Deck nice but glasses and plated from other guests left without being cleared away.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Everything! This was our choice since we wanted to be on the river and we made a mistake in asking to stay here.
Lagos Bay
Lagos

Wonderful staff. Very accommodating and friendly. Great location. Beautiful view. Delicious breakfasts.

Location
Right in the center of historical town. Walkable to everything.
