Our tour to Portugal exceeded our expectations thanks to our tour lead Romina Novio. Portugal is a beautiful country with a lot of history and very nice people. As always, Smartours selects the best hotels in each city. In general, it was a great experience!

The trip to Portugal and the Azores was a great value, very comprehensive and let by two excellent tour directors. We were never rushed and learned so much about the history of the places we visited. Food and wine was great everywhere. The Azores was the most beautiful place on earth. I highly recommend this trip.

Amelia Custodio, Tour guide Trip to Portugal, Oct 3-13, 2022 We want to extend our deep appreciation for our marvelous tour guide, Amelia Custodio, who led our recent trip to Portugal on Oct 3-13, 2022. Our tour to Portugal exceeded our expectations, thanks to Amelia who made this trip an unforgettable experience. She demonstrated leadership skills. Within the short time of our arrival,  Amelia established the rules which created a positive atmosphere and made everyone of the the group feel very welcome. To every site which was mentioned in the Smartours daily excursion, Amelia provided a thorough historical and cultural background of the site which enriched our knowledge and experience. She also emphasized the importance of being on time and requested that all members of the tour be punctual. She was extremely sensitive to the needs of each individual. For example, if someone didn’t feel well,  she offered to help. If someone had special dietary needs, Amelia made arrangements with the restaurant to satisfy the traveler’s dietary needs. Although, the group was heterogeneous in terms of age and ability, Amelia made everyone feel comfortable and motivated.

Great trip. Worst night was last night in lisbon. Driver had no idea where to go. Hotel was not up to standards. We were supposed to stay by airport but didn’t. When in Porto I would recommend going into doura valley. Spent too much time in Fatima. Dinner. Before going to Azores was nice but poorly managed by restaurant. Tour guides were both terrific. Knowledgeable and caring. Always very helpful.
