Birthday Trip to Portugal with Girlfriends

Portugal | Jun 19 - Jun 28, 2024

We had a wonderful, stress free trip to Portugal thanks to the KimKim team and Marisa and her team from Across Portugal! It was a birthday trip for 3 of us who have been friends for 35 years. All the details had been worked out, all we needed to do was to get our flight to Lisbon.
Marisa was in communication with us long before our trip with details and a potential itinerary. We had mentioned we would like 4 star hotels, a cooking class at a farm with beautiful ocean views, a walking tour with tastings of Lisbon, with guide Anna who was so knowledgeable about the history of Lisbon/ Portugal, plus she was fun to be with! (We had our own private tour).
She arranged all of that! Our hotels were beautiful! Especially the Vilagale, Lagos and the Miragem in Cascais was simply breathtaking. All our hotels were within walking distance of local restaurants and shopping. She even arranged a boat ride for us in the grottos with breathtaking views of the rock formations. All of our transfers were arranged, including a pick up from the airport. All our drivers were excellent, especially Carlos, whom we had twice.
We were able to communicate through What’s App anytime and always got a quick response.
We would definitely use KimKim again and give everyone 5 stars! Thank you for providing us with a memorable Portuguese vacation!
We chose KimKim because we wanted to do our own thing without going with a tour group. It worked out perfect for us!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Anna was the perfect tour guide! She was very knowledgeable about the history and we walked all over Lisbon. We ended with some wine tasting and local tastes of the area. Thank you Anna! It was fun meeting you!

Immerse Yourself in the Portuguese Culture by Experiencing a Fado Dinner

Lisbon

We had a wonderful experience with the Fado music/dinner. 2 different singers, but the same 2 guitar players. They were excellent! The meal was good, but I have had better beef. I think the fish is the food to order on the menu there. The wine and entertainment made up for it!

Embark on a Flavorful Cooking Class with a Meal at the Farm

Portugal

Loved this class! It was a bit of a drive from Lagos, but again with our excellent driver, it was not a problem. The host was very nice and took us on a tour of her farm/gardens. Then we went to the separate kitchen and had a cooking lesson where we could prepare our meal. After that, we went to a covered patio and had a fantastic meal that we prepared! The view was amazing! Great to meet other people from Ireland and other parts of the. US.
