Why This Trip Stands Out
This eight-day Portugal journey gives you a polished first look at the country without rushing through it. You get historic cities, coastal scenery, wine traditions and several UNESCO-listed stops, with the tour operator’s higher-touch touring style throughout.
- Two nights in Porto with guided sightseeing and a Douro River cruise.
- Port wine tasting and lunch at a traditional port house.
- Historic Évora, including a stay in a converted 15th-century convent.
- Sintra and Cascais from Lisbon.
- Small-group and even-smaller-group departure options on select dates.
