Aug 31 - Sep 9, 2026
MY sister and I had the most incredible visit to this magnificent country and I could not have experienced this without the superior planning and assistance from Pedro! My visit to Portugal went above and beyond my expectations, which were already pretty high. Our itinerary was built specifically for us and it met every one of my requests and more. I could never have experienced the true closeness we received from our guides, our drivers, our hotels, the sites we visited and the knowledge of Portugal's history without the professional and caring assistance of Pedro and the people he sent to guide us and help us fulfill all our hopes & expectations. Every one the people we interacted with over our 10 days in Portugal were WONDERFUL. We became close to each one of them and they gave us a new found admiration and respect for Portugal and the cities we visited. Lisboa, Porto, and Cascais were the major cities, but we visited so much more. Our driver for most of the time there, Rui, was very special to us. His knowledge and assistance in all of our travels was amazing and we were sad to leave him, We insisted on learning proper pronunciation and all the history he could share. Ricardo was our second driver and he was wonderful, too. We asked for the same with him and learned so much. Our Historic guides were so knowledgeable! Our first one in Lisboa, Marguerite was overwhelming in her understanding of the history of this country and her manner of telling the stories were moving and beautiful. What an incredible woman ... she brought us to tears (hidden to her I hope) in the descriptions of the dictatorship and the revolution. Ana, our guide in Porto, was truly a walking encyclopedia of the country's history and Porto's history! Our heads were spinning with knowledge. Our culinary class with Chef Pedro was absolutely wonderful. We loved it!
I could go on and on about this trip, but I want to thank Pedro for the amazing job he did with my itinerary and the people he matched us with. I felt that we were so well cared for and all our needs were met in every possible way. Our hotels were beautiful, intimate, with wonderful staff in each. To say we made many friends along the way is an understatement. Knowing that each day Pedro would check in on us as well as Diana and Marisa answering any questions we may have was quite helpful and special. We knew we were in excellent hands. My sister and I have already shared much of our trip with family and friends and KimKim is truly at the top of our suggestions for any future trips.
I feel like there is so much more I want to share, but for now ... thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this a trip of a lifetime. You truly are the best in the travel industry! I must add one more important note. Along with all the culture, history, and incredible sites & food, it's not complete until I add this, "We had SO SO SO MUCH FUN!"
