GREAT Spring Lisbon/Porto Trip Planning by Kim Kim!

Portugal | Apr 25 - May 2, 2025

We had a great time during our travels through Lisbon and Porto. We were impressed with the communications from the Kim Kim team during the trip and especially with their ability to get us private transport to Porto during the day of the blackout. That morning, before the blackout started, we went to the train station to discover that there had been a strike and all trains were canceled. We were really disappointed but as it turned out, if we had gotten on the train, it may have stopped midway into our trip due to the blackout which would have left us stranded! Fortunately the KimKim team quickly secured our private transport (before the blackout started) with a wonderful driver. I'm not sure what we would have done otherwise!

The hotels we had in both cities were satisfactory and in good locations although I do think an upgrade is worth it if affordable.

Lisbon was very entertaining and beautiful but we LOVED Porto the most and would love to come back to stay for more time as we could not fit in all that we wanted to do! The Douro Valley day trip from Porto was one of our favorite days despite that it poured rain the entire day.

Overall, Raquel did a great job planning our trip and the communications with other team members regarding transportation and answering general questions was very prompt and professional.
