“A very well organised holiday in a less well known but interesting part of the world. The accommodation and food was excellent and the tour manager, Linda Howells, made it even more interesting with her information slips and enthusiasm. Many thanks.

Lisbon, Porto & The Douro Valley

4/Oct

Paul

“A varied exploration of Lisbon, Porto and the Douro valley on this rail, coach and easy walking tour. Introduction to the cities by local experts and comprehensive advice on how to access the many cultural and scenic attractions on offer. Excellent visit to winery in Douro Valley with no hard sell at the end! Hotels were of a very good standard especially the Grande Hotel do Porto with an attractive and characterful classical style. Tour leader provided excellent leadership and support with daily briefing notes and nothing seemed to be too much trouble.

“Excellent tour, interesting places visited with an excellent tour manager. There were a couple of minor issues when coach transfers did not arrive but dealt with efficiently by tour manager. Only downside was the hotel in Montecatino was below average both in terms of food offered and accommodation.
