Pedro was extremely responsive to us while planning the trip, and we were so impressed by the reminders he sent while we were on the trip. Everything was flawless. One of my sons got sick while on the trip and Pedro as well as our driver showed great concern for his well-being, offering to help in any way needed. Everything for the trip was put togehter so thoughtfully. We loved every aspect of it. We are recommending Kim Kim and Across Portugal to friends who want to vacation in Portugal. They could not do better!

Hotel Reviews
Condes de Azevedo Palace
Porto

We shared a fabulous duplex with our two young-adult sons. It was perfect for us, with 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and kitchen/living room. All the furniture was modern but mixed with original granite - very beautiful! The breakfast was also excellent.

We walked everywhere we wanted to go; it was near everything, including the bridge to Gaia.

Bernardo was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and well spoken. He knew we were interested in Jewish history so he made it a point to show us some of that particular history. For us, the trip could have focused less on shopping, but still an amazing experience.

Belmonte

This is a particularly wonderful place for those interested in the history of Jews in Portugal, but it's wonderful for everyone. The town is beautiful. We ate a great restaurant full of locals right in the center of town.

It's a scenic drive from Belmonte to Lisbon.

This is a small space so everyone has an intimate experience with the performers, who were excellent. We did not expect much from the food, but it was very good. This is the best way to experience fado.

The palace is very well maintained with original furnishings. The views are pretty. It was very crowded, however, which detracted from the experience. The better part of this day trip for us was visiting Cabo da Roca and the seaside town of Cascais, where we ate at an excellent seafood restaurant. This part of the trip had amazing views of the ocean and cliffs - very impressive natural beauty.
