Spectacular trip around the circle of Portugal

May 23 - Jun 6, 2024
Pedro put together a spectacular trip for us, based upon what we were interested in exploring. The drivers, especially Andre and Ricardo were a wealth of knowledge and so kind, flexible and helpful. The guides in Lisbon, Porto and Évora were very knowledgeable and kept us moving. They all knew our interests and dietary restrictions based upon notes provided from Pedro. Andre took us to Sintra, and then Obidos and Nazaré on the way to Porto. He was so much fun! He also returned us to Lisbon from Lagos and were now friends for life. Ricardo took us from Porto with a stop in Belmonte and the cork factory in Evora, a long but enjoyable day. We walked over 5 miles each day, so we covered a lot of ground! A highlight was the hike with Nuno in Serra Do Estrela, just stunning! In Lagos the boat ride to the Benagil caves should not be missed. All the hotels selected by Pedro were perfectly located and had great service. Pedro kept in touch very frequently and also worked with us to change some pick up times when we wanted to modify our schedule. All told, it was a spectacular trip and worry-free because Pedro was always available to us and made sure we were happy.
Hotel Reviews
Rooms are lovely, well-appointed and the air conditioning works well. The breakfast is extensive and they have coffee, tea and snacks 24/7. You can also get cooked to order eggs if you ask. Outstanding location, within walking distance to so many great restaurants and attractions. Highest recommendation!
This hotel is beautiful and we were fortunate to have a room in the old, refurbished section. The location is in the middle of everything, within walking distance to restaurants, shops and attractions. The staff was attentive and the breakfasts were extensive and varied.
