The hotel in Lisbon was nice and no elevator and difficult stairs. The hotel in Cascais was wonderful and Porto’s was great location. The cooking class and dinner with locals were the best planned parts of the trip. The tour guide in Lisbon was a little boring. Overall it was a very smooth experience.

Really nice day and lunch with good wine. I expected a little more of a boat excursion and maybe a smaller boat but it was nice. It is a lot of time in a van. The guide was very good.

Really good food and wine. The guide was very pleasant. Only negative was maybe spending so much time within the market and not exploring Porto more.
