Jul 23 - Aug 4, 2023
Tiago helped me plan a perfect 12 day itinerary covering Portugal from the north to the south. My family is still raving about the trip! He was very helpful an extremely responsive. I wanted something partly guided and partly on our own with a driver. He was able to accommodate this and tailor the itinerary to our needs. Once in Portugal, our driver João took excellent care of us. He was very friendly and flexible with our plans. We had a great time chatting with him during our longer car rides between cities. Our guide Joel in Lisbon was also very good. Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about showing others his beautiful city. We started in Porto, went to Duoro Valley, then Lisbon and finally Algarve. Tiago had many suggestions for accommodations, and we were very happy with those we chose. 10/10 would recommend Kim Kim and the local company in Portugal.
Hotel Reviews
This was by far my favorite hotel in Portugal. The location and views were stunning. It was a magical experience staying in this property in the Duoro Valley
Good location
Fantastic location with access to cliff walks. Great amenities. However, during the peak tourist season, the hotel needs more staff. Everyone was very friendly and doing they best they could, but service was slow. I would consider it more of a 4 star property, though my family and I had an amazing time.
Activity Reviews
We had a great time doing the walking tour of Porto. We definitely covered areas we would not have made it to otherwise. Highly recommended.
Joel did an amazing job at showing us Lisbon in one afternoon. He knew to use a vehicle in order to cover more neighborhoods and included some stops for walking and getting some local drinks and pastais de Belém. He was extremely knowledgeable and very experienced. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour.
Joel was also our hide for the day of visiting Cascais and Sintra. We saw many different areas on this beautiful drive. He even hooked us up with a lunch reservation at one of the most coveted restaurants by the beach, and we got the best table! We had an amazing day visiting all these areas.
Dear Paulina,
Many, many thanks for your kind words!! Joel and João still talk about you and how friendly you guys are!!
Happy to understand that you truly enjoyed your trip and that you had a good time overall.
Stay well and feel free to send me some photos of your tour, provided no one has a Benfica shirt on!!! :D
All the best!
Tiago
