Raquel’s trip exceeded our expectations

Portugal | May 31 - Jun 15, 2024

Boutique hotel next to their much larger hotel in the center of Lisbon’s tourist area. Great staff. Smallish room without any view. OK breakfast.

Busy area of Porto, so you have to want to be where the action is. Balcony room a must. River view adds so much. Fantastic breakfast and staff.

WOW! What a beautiful property. Access to the ocean. Indoor/outdoor pools. Amazing breakfast in beautiful restaurants with outdoor eating in the gardens. Great room with ocean views. Short walk to downtown.

Cancelled due to holiday.

Driver just OK. Did adapt to our requests but didn’t adapt to issues in Cascais and never got to Estoril.

Personable driver. Could have provided more information on Coimbra.

Didn’t do this tour.

Excellent personable guide. Great insight into Porto’s history with multiple recommendations for shopping and restaurants.

Two great hikes and tour of the old city.

Guide was great. Tour was a good introduction to the city. She took us to ethnic food areas that were outstanding. It is unlikely that we would have discovered these intimate areas.

Didn’t do this tour.

Cooking lunch with Chef Sara Verde in her restaurant was a highlight of this trip. She was a wonderful host.

Great investigation of the Northwestern part of Madeira. A little too much time in the 4X4. Longer stops would be better.
