Genuine Insight Into Portugal

One of our best trips ever. We had never been to Portugal, and we were looking for a small tour to give us a genuine insight into Portugal and the Portuguese. Cristiane gave us all of that and more. We experienced Portugal’s history, food culture, it’s nature, and experiences that we would never have found. The special outings to make traditional northern Portuguese corn/rye bread in a wood-burning oven in the middle of their National Park with horses and cattle running free, the sardine factory of one of the oldest still hand-done sardine factories, the olive oil tasting, the chocolate tasting, our stay at a boutique hotel in Arcos de Valdevez with a trained chef preparing delicious meals, the trip to Pinhao in the Douro with a visit to the famous Port Quinta and the boat ride down the Douro. I could go on and on. Cristiane wants to make sure you have an exceptional experience. We will never forget the incredible tour with Cristiane.

Incomparable Experience

Everything about the trip was wonderful. If you want an experience of the parts of Portugal the locals love, book anything with Eco Trilha. We went to the best restaurants and tastings. Our experience with chef Vasco in Arcos de Valdevez was incredible. He opened his doors and treated us like family. This is not a bus tour with a group listening on a headset. Cristiane is professional in every way and provided an incomparable experience.

"A most enjoyable holiday in Portugal with Eco Trilha"

Cris our guide was excellent, gave personalized and friendly service. We were given ample time to discover the places we visited and Cris was there with us all the way. Highly recommended for tourists who wish to discover Portugal off the beaten tracks. The visit to the hotel owned by the 1st Masterchef of Portugal was memorable, especially the cooking workshops. Thumbs up!!

"FABULOUS holiday with Eco Trilha"

We enjoyed all of the locations we visited, the great food and wine, the rich culture & interesting history of Portugal... Have I mentioned that it was a FABULOUS holiday?! Thanks for coordinating, booking, confirming and generally taking care of our requests in planning our adventure. Highly recommended and I would definitely book Eco Trilha again.

"Perfect Portugal Adventure"

My 24-year-old daughter and I spent a wonderful week in Portugal in January on the Culture and Cooking Tour and are so grateful to Cristiane for putting together the perfect adventure. We had so many experiences that we otherwise wouldn't have had on our own a walk through the UNESCO neighborhood of Porto, olive oil and wine tastings, discovering some of her favorite historical and culinary places. Because she hired drivers during some days, we could relax and cover a lot more territory than you would expect and got to see Lisbon, Porto, Sintra, some small villages, the coast, and the mountains. We'd love to take our family back for one of her Douro Valley tours as well. Highly recommended!

Flexible with tour arrangements

Christiane is very professional, always on time, flexible with tour arrangements, and knowledgeable about different ways to experience Portuguese culture. I was impressed by the amount of personal assistance she offered us. She went the extra mile to make sure we were taken care of; for example, finding a place to get Covid tests. We would happily take another tour with her.

Amazing trip

The trip was a great combination of time on our own to explore and directed time with a guide. We visited things we would not have known about at all, and it was amazing! We loved trying the pastries in every town we visited as well. Porto was fantastic, and I would return gladly. The time at Casa de Li was wonderful and again something we would have never found on our own. Vasco was a great host and cook. Our pickup from the airport went very smoothly, we were shocked as our flight was 3 hours late! We were so pleased that our guide, Chris, met us at the hotel to be sure check-in went well, and to give a little help getting our bearings.

Portugal Lisbon to Braga with Cristiane / Eco Triha

We loved Braga and Cristiane loved sharing her hometown. Honestly, every city we visited with her was wonderful and she is very good about sharing a lot of interesting information and allowing you time to look and take pictures. We had 2 days in the country which was a wonderful surprise complete with a chef, bread making, wine tasting, and a 7-mile hike. Cristiane has a wonderful sense of humor, cares about her clients and pays attention deal. She even road to the airport when we left to say goodbye. It is obvious she truly loves what she does and it shows. We are wanting to go back and we highly recommend her and cannot say enough great things!

"Greatest time on a tour!"

This was my best trip I ever went using a tour. Usually I do not like a tour because of the minute by minute itinerary. But this trip was fantastic. I can’t recommend it enough. Our tour guide was wonderful. Very informative,funny and everything you want a tour guide to be. I had the best time and I can’t wait to use them again. if you want the trip of a lifetime -use this tour group. You will not be disappointed. The knowledge, hotel selection, itinerary, selection, and conversations could not be beat. Thank you for this most enjoyable trip.

"Very well organised"

Very well organised and full of interesting experiences.

"Once everything was booked and paid, we could literally sit back and relax… and enjoy."

We were very fortunate to be able to do the Food & Wine experience in Portugal from 6- 13 July 24. Cris(tiane) was very helpful during the booking process and responded quickly to all my emails. Once everything was booked and paid, we could literally sit back and relax… and enjoy. As a foreigner, it is sometimes scarry to travel, but all the arrangements went as planned and advertised. From the pick-ups and drop-offs at airports, to transport from one hotel to the next, or during daily excursions, they were punctual and effecient. Comfortable and luxurious vehicles and friendly drivers. Very high quality accommodation. The sightseeing’s were amazing and the guides were very knowledgeable and thorough. Food and wine tastings were great and mostly more than we could handle. So prepare to buy bigger clothes on your return! I can highly recommend EcoTrilha Portugal Tours and Cristiane Fonte. With this level of service, the business will grow and prosper.
