Douro Experience 2024 (9 destinations)
Douro Experience 2024 (9 destinations)A very pleasant 8 day experience but really more like a five day cruise. The cruise information was incomplete, leaving out interesting opportunities along the way (Port museums and prehistoric rock art,) most particularly an excursion to Salamanca, which turned out to be a highlight for us. The food was good but not as interesting as Portuguese restaurants in Porto or even at home in Canada.

Charming Portugal Highlights - 10 Days
Charming Portugal Highlights - 10 DaysMy husband and I went on The Relais and Chateaux Tour but it was not an option in this review page to choose. This tour featured hotels that were a part of this Relais and Chateaux group of hotels. All of the hotels were absolutely breathtaking and usually had some sort of cool history or story behind them. The service and people that ran every place was way beyond expectations. I particularly fell in love with the Yeatman in Porto but would honestly recommend and go back to all of them (Yeatman in Porto, Quinta Nova in the Douro, Fortaleza do Guincho in Cascais, The Bela Vista Hotel in Portimão, and the Palácio Ludovice Wine Experience in Lisbon). To start, Daniela is amazing at what she does. She was so professional yet genuine from the moment I emailed her more than a year before our trip. This was our first trip overseas, so we really did not know even where to start with planning a big trip like this. We also did not know that much about Portugal and were open to anything and everything; we just wanted to be completely immersed and see as much as possible. This trip had everything. I truly feel like I got to see a majority of the country in just 11 days. We were able to go to Porto, Minho region, Guimarães, Douro Valley, Coimbra, Cascais, Lisbon, Sintra, Evora, Portimão, and Lagos. We got to learn so much about culture, history, wine and food! Daniela was also so responsive to us even while we were on the trip and had questions. She created a trip that made us absolutely fall in love with Portugal! It was incredible to be able to just relax and follow the itinerary, knowing that we were going to be able to see so much. All of the other self-planned trips that we have done can get so stressful trying to figure out the logistics of everything. The other part that made this trip were all of our guides. They were so warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. It was so nice to have locals to be able to really get to know and appreciate the country. It was also a must to not have to worry about navigating and parking - this in itself saved us so much time and allowed us to see more. 1) Francisco showed us around Porto, the Minho Region, Guimarães and took us on our trek to the hotel in the Douro valley. He went out of his way a few times to drop us off at specific locations that we wanted to see more off. He got stuck with us at the beginning of the trip when we were wanting to learn pronunciations of Portuguese words. He was so understanding with us wanting to learn and helped at every opportunity. He had a awesome sense of humor and we had so much fun with him! He was definitely a part of why Porto was our favorite out of the whole trip! 2) Carlos drove us around the Douro Valley. His energy and love of the Douro Valley was infectious! He was awesome at stopping at all of the viewpoints and offering to take pictures of us (which is always so nice since it's hard to get a picture together when it's only the two of us). He stayed late to let us go to an extra Quinta that he suggested besides the one that was already on our tour! He also showed us modern Fado singers on Spotify in car which was so cool! 3) Pedro - poor Pedro was stuck with us for 5 days! He was one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever met. We asked him a million questions about the history of everything we saw as well as questions about modern day Portugal and I do not think there was even one questions he could not answer. It was so cool to be able to ask about everyday life in Portugal. He was so personable and the love and pride he had for his country was so obvious every day. I am sure he has done that tour a 100+ times but you would never know with his excitement on every topic. He also was so incredibly flexible with things that we wanted to see and do. We will 100% be coming back to use Daniela and the Portugal Travel Center when we are able to go to the Azores and Madeira. I have already told anyone and everyone I know about her amazing company and the great work that she does.

All our guides were amazing that we had for our excursions and the customer service from Vania we received before and during our trip was exceptional. The hotels were always at great locations and on the boutique side, very close to everything and we felt very safe. We will definitely be using them again for future trips.
