    Service was excellent. My husband, Ian, and I thoroughly enjoyed our Discover Portugal tour (BDPLP3) (3-12 May 2023). Our guide was knowledgeable, interesting and thoughtful. Our driver was excellent in handling the small bus on all sorts of roads.

    The tour generally was good. However, we felt there was too much down time around from 12-2pm in some towns (where there was little to do). We loved the experiences with locals and would have liked more contact with locals, or have had options such as kayaking, or a forest walk. The historical knowledge of our wonderful guide Eddi was expectational, along with her calm nature and willingness to assist made the tour very enjoyable. Our driver Melo was an absolute gentleman with fabulous driving skills. Hotel in Lisbon was in a good location, however the room was cramped and dreary.

    Sonia was excellent. Great knowledge of country and culture. She was very caring and went beyond our expectations. Hotels were generally good with some exceptional and some not quite up to standard. The driver Mello was great.
