Review Time
The overall experience was really good. The tour guide lovely and caring. However people need to know about the hairpin bends the minibus needs to take to get down to Minori. Plus a Fair amount of walking and over uneven terrain on the trips, given the likely demographic of the group. Being out of season means a lot is closed, i.e.cafes, restaurants,crypt at Amalfi.
The hotel was lovely and the food substantial and ok.
I found that the holiday did not quite meet my expectations. The itinerary promised a lot but ultimately fell flat. Spending Christmas in Portugal offered many chances to engage with local life, culture, and stunning landscapes. However, the five days felt more like five half days, with hotel departures at 09:30 and returns around 14:30 or 15:00. Although we had a knowledgeable tour guide, we spent a lot of time in a naval museum that seemed more aligned with the guide's interests. I realize now that I could have explored independently on several occasions. The hotel was well-located and had decent facilities, but the food quality and selection were disappointing, even after raising concerns with our host.
This tour was exceptionally balanced, offering a variety of experiences and opportunities. It was enlightening, reflective, deeply moving, and inspiring. Our tour manager was fantastic, and the hotels and meals were excellent, set in beautiful surroundings. I would definitely do it again and encourage others to join.
Details like the date and time of travel, choice of airline, airport, and terminal, along with the hotel selection and professional director (Brian), who greeted us at the airport and accompanied us throughout the trip, were all well managed.
The five days in Porto were decent, although the hotel rooms were quite warm and the food was cold and unexciting. The hotel on the Lisbon coast was better, with hot food, but the rooms were still chilly. The day in Lisbon matched the earlier description by another traveler. I specifically wanted to see the Belem Tower, but all we got was a distant view from the coach, obscured by renovation materials, which wasn’t mentioned in the itinerary or online. I was disappointed and won’t be using this service again.
