Tours Available for Group and Individual Travelers
Discover Portugal from every angle!
You’ll begin by taking a walk through the country’s history as you visit the iconic sites of its major cities. In Lisbon, you’ll explore Belém, the historic district from which the Portuguese caravels set sail, enabling the country to become a major maritime power during the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries. There, as elsewhere in the country, you’ll discover sumptuous architecture reflecting Portugal’s prosperity in the wake of the great explorations that launched the country into the spice trade. Then, a stroll through Alfama—this colorful neighborhood stretching up the hillside and brimming with narrow streets, small squares, and steep stairways—will have you completely captivated by the capital’s charm.
In Porto, a city of commerce, you’ll visit the business district and the San Benito train station, adorned with thousands of magnificent ceramic tiles typical of Portugal. As you travel across the country, you’ll be captivated first by the beauty of Coimbra’s campus and then by the medieval history of Óbidos, Tomar, and Évora, where you’ll savor the atmosphere created by their buildings and monuments.
As you travel along the Atlantic coastline, lined with lively beaches and fishing villages, you’ll come to fully appreciate the historical significance of fishing in the country’s economy and cuisine. You’ll also have the chance to immerse yourself in the country’s most authentic culinary traditions during a cooking workshop on Portuguese cornbread, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to discover Portuguese specialties and local products during various farm tours and tastings (Port wine, vinho verde, sour cherry liqueur, grilled fish, and Portuguese pastries). Portuguese cuisine will hold no more secrets for you!
You’ll wrap up your trip in the mild climate of the Algarve, enjoying the sea breezes and sweeping horizons to recharge your batteries before returning home with a heart full of joy and a head full of unforgettable memories!
