Portugal was a great trip. We had an awesome guide (Nina). She was very organized, so getting in and out of hotels was easy and efficient. She was also very knowledgeable about Portugese history, culture, and the sights we saw. We covered a lot of ground and saw many sights that we would not have seen on our own. We needed more time in Porto and Lisbon! We liked the flexibility of the Smartours, eating on our own and being able to do the excursions that we were interested in. One thing you should know about Portugal if you are thinking of visit there, is that it is very hilly and mountainous. If you have trouble with stairs or climbing hills, it is not an easy trip. This was our first smart tour, and we were very pleased.
