Portugal North to South Partially Guided: Lisbon, Porto, Algarve October 2025

During our tour we stayed at 4 hotels all very nice but small rooms. All the hotels were well situated within walking distance to everything. All the hotels served breakfast in the morning which was a great day starter. The tour was well played out by the tour operator, it would have been nice to get it ahead of time but we survived. It was a very good way to start to see Portugal because there is too much to see in one visit.

More time and maybe a graphic chart outline the stations and where the trains arrive would be helpful. Alternatively a representative of the tour company at the train stations to help would have been very helpful. The hotels in our excursion were wonderful but located in midtown and we had the added expense of transportation to and from the downtown areas. Hotels located in the tourist area would have been preferred. Something to watch for when you’re choosing your package. I would recommend this package with some improvements as mentioned.
