DAY 1
Lisbon Airport (LIS)
Welcome to Lisbon! Arrive at any time, and a transfer will be ready to take you to your hotel. There are no scheduled activities today, so feel free to explore the city at your own pace. Hotel check-in is available from 2 PM onward. If you arrive earlier, you can leave your luggage at reception and check in later.

Accommodation: 4-star hotel. Overnight in Lisbon.

DAY 2
Lisbon – Sintra – Lisbon
08h30: Meet in the hotel lobby.

Take the 30km drive to the permanently fresh and ever-romantic Sintra. Start at the National Palace before heading to the picturesque Pena Palace. Once you have finished taking in the views, head back to town to taste the Portuguese delicacy queijada, at the world-famous Piriquita pastry shop.

Head back to Lisbon to visit the 16th-century Jeronimos Monastery, the Discoveries Monument along the banks of the Tagus River, and the impressive Belem Tower. Make a visit to Pastéis de Belem, world-famous purveyors of pasteis de nata, who have managed to hold on to their secret recipe for nearly 200 years. Enjoy a demonstration and tasting of these treasured treats before heading back to your hotel for the evening.

Accommodation: 4-star hotel. Overnight in Lisbon.
Physical activities: Pena Palace has stairs and sloped streets without elevator access. If you have mobility concerns or prefer to avoid crowds, we can replace it with Queluz Palace for a more accessible experience. This option is for private groups and requires a 25-day advance request. In case of a weather alert (strong winds, thunderstorms, or extreme heat), we will visit Queluz Palace instead, as access to Pena Palace will be closed.
Meals: Breakfast, Pastry Pastel de Belém (One Portuguese custard tart and one coffee are included. For a non-alcoholic beverage option, please ask your local guide), and Pastry Piriquita (two cakes).

DAY 3
Lisbon – Nazare – Fatima – Braga
09h00 am: Meet in the lobby.

Your day on Portugal’s “Silver Coast” begins in Nazare. This picturesque village got its name from a statue of the Virgin Mary brought to town from Nazareth by a monk in the 4th century.
High above the town is Sitio, reached by a funicular that climbs 110m (360ft). We will visit the 17th-century Nossa Senhora da Nazare Church with splendid 18th-century tiles depicting Biblical scenes. It also contains a revered image of Our Lady of Nazareth taken down to the sea in a traditional procession every September.

However, Nazare might be best known for its waves. In 2011, surfer Garret McNamara changed the history of Nazare when he was towed into a 78-foot monster swell. At the time, it was the largest wave ever surfed. Every winter since this sleepy seaside town hosts some of the best surfers in the world in hopes of catching their own monster waves.

After lunch, we will stop at the imposing Santuário de Fátima, a destination for Catholic pilgrims from across the world. On May 13, 1917, three children who were herding sheep observed an apparition of the Virgin Mary, as a response, the sanctuary and Chapel of the Apparition were built.

Accommodation: 4-star hotel. Overnight in Braga.
Meals: Breakfast.

DAY 4
Porto – Full Day
09h00 am: Meet in the lobby.

We begin our day with a car-free walking tour through the historic center of Porto, using pedestrian streets. Beginning with the impressive collection of over 20,000 blue tiles in São Bento Train Station. Proceeding to the 12th-century Porto Cathedral, where you’ll discover the city’s unique history while taking in sweeping views of the Douro River. Next, we will venture down the alleys of the medieval district to the commercial street of “Rua das Flores,” to take in buskers and craftspeople selling their wares. Being the most lively area in town, this is where we will have lunch at a restaurant favored by locals.

In the afternoon, you will be treated to a guided visit to a traditional wine cellar, or cave, to taste the rich, sophisticated, and world-renowned fortified wine – Port.

Accommodation: 4-star hotel. Overnight in Braga.
Physical activities: Enjoy a delightful 3-hour walking tour in Porto on pedestrian streets. We’ll explore stores and a church, with some steps and short climbs.

From here, you will be driven through the Douro Valley with its breathtaking landscapes. Lunch will be provided in a traditional restaurant. You will finish the tour with a boat trip in the Douro River to contemplate the sweeping views of the valley and vines beyond (1 hour).

Accommodation: 4-star hotel. Overnight in Braga.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Port Wine Tasting.

DAY 6
Braga – Half Day
09h00 am: Meet in the lobby.

After breakfast, we have a short lecture about the Bom Jesus do Monte Shrine prior to our visit. Upon arrival, our ascent will be made on the funicular. The first on the Iberian Peninsula! This lift uses a system of water counterbalancing to pull the funicular up and down the steep incline. The success of this tram inspired Lisbon to install its own version, which we still see in the city today. Our descent will be made on foot. Next, we will explore the cathedral and downtown area. The second half of the day will be free time for you to explore on your own or take a rest in our hotel. Duration: 1/2 day.

Accommodation: 4-star hotel. Overnight in Braga.
Physical activities: The walking tour in Braga will be car-free, utilizing pedestrian streets and lasting 3 hours. The pilgrimage church has steps. You can optionally use the funicular to go down, although this will not cover all the stairs.
Meals: Breakfast.

DAY 7
Oporto Airport (OPO) or Braga Train Station
Our time of discovery will have come to an end. Check-out at the hotel by 11 am, after which we will arrange your transportation to either the Oporto Airport (OPO) or Braga train station.

We understand the importance of catering to dietary restrictions and preferences. We strive to accommodate various dietary needs, including food allergies and intolerances, to ensure that all participants can enjoy their culinary experiences during the tour.

Our small group tours offer an intimate experience, allowing you to escape the crowds and delve into the hidden gems of Portugal. With a maximum of 8 travelers, you’ll enjoy personalized attention and authentic cultural encounters.

When lunch is not included in our tour package, we ensure a hassle-free dining experience for our guests. Here’s how it works:

We always make a reservation at a carefully selected non-touristic restaurant for the group. The cost typically ranges from 20 to 35 euros per person. Before the meal, our dedicated local guide will inform the group that lunch is not included in the tour package, and each individual will be responsible for settling their own bill.

We take pride in offering a variety of restaurant options to cater to different preferences. These restaurants are known for serving local and slow food, providing a peaceful environment for conversations, offering picturesque views, or showcasing typical and charming decorations. We believe this approach allows our guests to enjoy a delightful dining experience while exploring the local culture and cuisine at their own pace.

If you have any dietary preferences or special requests, please feel free to communicate them to our guide, who will do their best to accommodate your needs and ensure an enjoyable meal for all.

Apologies, but we are unable to accommodate requests for a room upgrade. Unfortunately, the hotels we work with do not offer king-size beds for booking. The standard double bed size is 160 cm x 200 cm.

As an international traveler, we recommend investing in unique experiences rather than a larger room or extra furniture. Want to explore Portugal like a local? Add WhatsApp to your smartphone, and we will send you restaurant recommendations, Fado show suggestions, and hidden gems near your hotel — ensuring a truly unforgettable trip.

In Portugal, minors (under 18 years old) are not permitted to drink wine. The winery will provide juice for them instead. However, it’s worth noting that hotels in Portugal typically consider children up to 10 years old as adults, so special pricing for children isn’t offered.

Many of our travelers are experienced and well-prepared — often over 45, and planning this journey as a long-awaited experience. That’s exactly why we recommend travel insurance: it protects both your investment and your peace of mind.

Even with the best planning, unexpected things can happen — a sudden illness, a missed connection, or a family emergency back home. Travel insurance gives you a safety net, covering medical expenses, lost luggage, trip delays or cancellations, and more.

We require all guests to have valid travel insurance for the full duration of the trip. It’s not about expecting the worst — it’s about feeling secure, knowing that if something does come up, you’re covered.
