Tiago incorporated all the places we wanted to see and arranged tours to do all the things we we asked for. All the hotels were wonderful. The port tasting and food tours were great with the best one in being in Lisbon, but the cork farm was a highlight for me. Nothing would have been as seamless, if we didn’t have Diogo taking us all over Portugal and explaining the culture. As a bonus he took us to a bar to see a soccer game. He shared all the history of his beloved country and knew every building, statue, river, bridge etc. Diogo enhanced the whole experience.

The Vintage House - Douro
Pinhão, Douro
Beautiful setting and view. Nice restaurant.
Location
Beautiful view of the Douro river and vinyards.
Thomar Boutique Hotel
Tomar
The location ended up being good. We had a nice walk to the soccer bar from the hotel and also to another location the next day. They were very welcoming at check in with port.
Beautiful hotel and setting. The nicest room.
The art deco features were authentic and well done but the toilets and shower could be updated.
Location
They were doing a big renovation across the street which was very noisy. There was so much traffic in that area it was hard to drive in and out. It was close enough to walk places but it was a long walk.
Staff
All the front desk people were very helpful
Hotel Hospes Puerta de Alcalá
Madrid
Good location and helpful staff. Sweet treats were delivered to the room every afternoon.
