Excellent Trip and Excellent service from the Kim-Kim team

Portugal | Sep 10 - Sep 23, 2024

Great boutique hotel right in the city centre. Great room and breakfasts.

Great hotel in Porto city centre. The rooms were small but well equipped.

Centrally located in the old city centre but due to road closures, it was difficult to get around by car. The beds were incredible hard and the pillows non-existant. The restaurant, bar and breakfasts were excellent. The pool and outdoor garden were excellent and nice quiet respite from the business of Evora.

Having a beautiful sea view room with a balcony was wonderful. The room was large and the beds comfortable. The pool and surrounding decks were amazing. Great poolside bar. Easy access to the ocean beach as well. Only complaint would be the dinner buffet. The food was mostly lukewarm and over cooked. We ate at the two other restaurants and this was much better than the buffet.

Excellent location with easy walk to the historic city centre of Cascais. The room was large and we had a large, private balcony overlooking the pool and ocean.

Our driver Carlos definitely made this trip amazing. Pena Palace was beautiful and well worth it, but there are a lot of tourists making the viewing of the palace slow. The grounds are amazing. Our driver suggested we go to the National Palace in the centre of Sintra as it was much more interesting and not as busy. I am glad he suggested it as it was truly excellent. Carlos went out of his way and bought us some local treats of Sintra for the ride.

Our guide, Bernado was very knowledgeable about the different architecture and the history of historic Porto. Only issue was that he was very soft spoken and sometimes it was difficult to hear him, especially when in the old train station where there were many other large tours taking place

The entire day was very good with a boat tour and a winery visit included. However, our driver was late picking us up, said he was feeling under the weather. Later he mentioned that he was a wedding the night before and had little sleep. His driving was erratic and he again was late picking us up at the end of the day. First he blamed a car event taking place in the town and then later said he had been sleeping while we were on the winery tour.

Great boat pilot and his guide. They both were very knowledgeable and engaging. What could beat cruising the river on a beautiful day, sipping on some sparkling wine?

Beautiful winery and a very delicious 3 course meal with wine pairings. The staff were excellent and the views outstanding. After lunch we had a winery tour with 4 tastings of various wines.

Our guide, Ana was amazing. We learned so much about the history of Lisbon and Porto.

Two hours in a Tuk Tuk to Belem was painful. Most of the trip is rushing thru traffic to get to Belem and then a quick tour around. Our guide was fine and we were able to stop and get the original Pasties de Nata.

Enjoyable night out. The food was good and the fado singers were very talented.

Our boat pilot Marta and her guide were excellent. It was pretty rough but we never where worried because of Marta's skills. Because of the rough water, there was one cave she didn't go into but we appreciated her safety-minded attidtude. The rock faces and scenery were amazing and a must see in the Algarve.

Interesting tour of Sandeman's winery. We learned a lot about Port and had excellent tastings after.
