Trip of a Lifetime!
Portugal

Jul 1 - Jul 14, 2025
The trip that kimkim planned for our 2-week trip to Spain and Portugal was amazing! We didn't have to worry - everything was taken care of, from the drivers, to the guides, to the train tickets, it was an A-plus experience! We have 9 activities scheduled over our 14 day trip, and it is difficult to determine which one was our favorite. But the cooking class in Seville and the lunch at the vineyard (under a 2,000 year old olive tree) on our way to Lisbon were definitely up there.
I also had to rely on the team during our trip for a request, and they got back to me within 15 minutes. Truly exceptional work and wonderful planning by Beatriz. Would absolutely recommend kimkim to all our friends and we will never travel internationally without them.

Hotel Reviews
Beautiful hotel! Definitely set the tone for the trip.
If you like luxury accommodations with golf, pools, a Michelin-starred restaurant and access to the beach, this is the place to stay!
The friends that stayed with us agreed that this might be the nicest hotel that they ever stayed in.
Accommodations were nice but did not feel as luxury as the prior places that we had stayed on our trip.
Activity Reviews
Sintra is very unique and our driver had family who grew up there so he knew how to get around easily and took us to some of the areas that were not as touristy.
This first activity set the tone - and we were literally starting about an hour after got to the hotel.
Miguel, our guide spent extra time with us and asked what WE wanted to do. He then took us to a beautiful music hall in Barcelona before we even went to La Sagrada Familia.
Loved visiting the picturesque property. The guide was friendly and knowledgable. And the olive oil was delicious! A bottle of your choice is included with the tour.
One of our favorite activities! Chef Leo and Carmen were amazing! Great sense of humor, helpful, supportive. And also, the food we all made was delicious. Tried one of the dishes at a restaurant the next day - ours was much better!
The pictures from this boat trip were amazing! I've never seen caves like this in my lifetime.
Felt like we were just following our guide around while she walked ahead of us. Did not find our guide to be very engaging at all.
Thelma was very professional and knowledgable about the area and the vineyards. She took us to a traditional Portuguese restaurant that was absolutely delicious and that we would never have found or chosen on our own.
