Really wonderful trip, tailored to our needs. They made traveling so easy, and when there were major train strikes, expedient alternative car rental options were procured in impressive time. Highly recommended.

Hotel Reviews
Pousada Porto—Rua das Flores
Porto

The hotel was beautiful, and very well designed. It was clean and the staff was very friendly. HOWEVER, these were the least comfortable beds I have ever slept on. They are like sleeping on concrete. SO stiff. Other than that, it was perfect.

Vila Valverde - Design & Country Hotel

Really wonderful hotel. Incredibly comfortable beds, oversized rooms, great light. The TVs were small, and the bathroom has a glass door - very bad design choice. Outside of that, 5 star experience.

Pousada Palacio De Estoi—Monument Hotel & SLH

STUNNING! ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! The views, the balconies, the staff, the gardens, everything was just beautiful. The suite was very well designed, and stylish. One minor flaw - the gym equipment was very old, and needs to be replaced. Outside of that, it's phenomenal.

This was possibly the most wonderful tour I have ever been on. There were wonderful experiences, that felt tailored and special. We had a very cool surprise at the end, which I won't give away - but trust me, go!

Our tour guide was very pleasant. She tailored the tour on the spot to do things that we wanted to do. We arrived an hour late - the guide was really kind about it, and we had a wonderful time. She stayed late to make up for OUR late start. Above and beyond. 5 stars.

Really wonderful experience. This felt like a private tour with a friend showing you their home. It was so interesting and special. This was the absolute opposite of "tourist-ey". Highly recommended.

This was not great. We had a 7 day trip, and we enjoyed it thoroughly, but I wish we had skipped the stop offs in Albuferia - It was a town full of British & Irish people, drunk in the middle of the day (I say that as an Irishman). Maybe it's a good town for a bachelor party, but the town was boring, and the architecture was pretty awful.
