“We just returned from my bucket list 14-day trip to Portugal. My family was from Portugal and it only took me 66 years to finally get there! Wish I had gone sooner… What a beautiful country. Driving around Portugal was spectacular and really gave us the opportunity to see all of its natural beauty. Medieval cities, fortresses, beaches, wine country… so much history, delicious food and wine… Our agent Filipa Martins did an excellent job putting our trip together. Filipa was very helpful in the planning stages making recommendations and answering our many questions. She provided us with numerous proposals while planning. She even worked in the drive to my Grandfathers village in the northern mountains near Spain to visit his final resting place. Everything from the airport transfers to the hotels and car rental went off with precision. The accommodations and service at the hotels were unbelievable. Our tour guides were so friendly and knowledgeable. By the end of the tours it felt like we were leaving family behind. We had the opportunity to use the new TourTailors APP on our IPhones. It worked great. We used it for navigation and it allowed us to have the entire trip in our pocket at all times. We could instantly look up all the daily activities, points of interest and restaurant recommendations! Thank you Filipa and TourTailors for the trip of a life time! I would highly recommend them to my family and friends…“

“We asked TourTailors to organize a 21 day experience in Portugal. We gave them a broad outline of what we would like to do and see. Our travel consultant, Gonçalo Oliveira, sent us a proposed itinerary, which we massaged a couple of times. The trip turned out to be wonderful. Our trip included renting a car for 14 days, with a GPS that plotted out our entire trip. It made it easy to get from place to place. All of the hotels were excellent. All of the guided tours that we took were very informative and fun. If we had any issues we were able to contact TourTailors and talk to a real person, who helped us resolve any of our issues.“

“We have recently arrived back from Australia having spent 2 glorious weeks in your lovely country of Portugal. Our trip which was largely organized by you went smoothly with no issues, making it most enjoyable! Thank you for your patience and willingness to accommodate our needs, answer questions and revise our proposed itinerary which we did many times! You never complained and were always pleasant and courteous. I would especially like to provide our heartfelt thanks to the local and private drivers and walking guides that we had assigned to us over the period. They were all wonderful – we learnt a lot from all of them about the towns/cities that we visited, plus got to hear stories about their own lives and families growing up in Portugal. They were all so proud of their country and history which was so wonderful to see and hear. (…) Once again thank you for enabling us to have such a great holiday. I have already recommended your service to my sister who plans to visit Portugal in September 2024!“

“We are all back home in the USA after a wonderful time in Portugal and Spain. Everything went extremely well and we really enjoyed using the TourTailors APP. It was very helpful and convenient. We did use the APP rating section for many of the items that we went to see. (…)“

“We had a wonderful time in Portugal and everything was very well organized: from the hotels, to the walking tours, cooking classes and suggested itinerary. The guides in Lisbon and on the Porto River tour were excellent – very knowledgeable with great English language skills and an understanding of how to present history and important information in a logical and sequential manner. (…) The two cooking classes were wonderful: the guide was beyond excellent – very warm, engaging and enthusiastic. The evening we spent with her was one of the highlights of our tour. The guide at the Douro Valley vineyard was also very good. Thank you, Gonçalo, for your help and support in both planning and managing our holiday. It was truly a great trip and we will recommend Tour Tailors to our friends and acquaintances.“

“Our experience with TourTailors was outstanding. From the very beginning, our consultant Filipa was responsive, communicative, resourceful and a wealth of information. Filipa made the planning process a joy. She listened to what we said and was very willing to work with us until our 15 day trip to Portugal was perfected. Every hotel we stayed in was superb! Every tour we took, including walking city tours, food tours, cooking classes, wine tour, whale watch, was awesome! The tour guides were all extremely accommodating and knowledgeable! Our drivers were great drivers, polite and knowledgeable. (…) We made our own flight reservations but Filipa arranged for our transports from airports to hotels, etc. and most everything ran like clockwork. We started in Porto, at a beautiful and comfortable hotel, then we rented a car and drove 5 hours to Lagos in the Algarve, where we stayed at a hotel overlooking the cliffs and beach. The decor was a delight and the food superb! Next, we drove to Lisbon where we stayed at a superb 5 star hotel in the heart of Lisbon. From Lisbon, we flew to São Miguel in the Azores where we stayed at a superb 4 star resort with all the amenities you could want and again fabulous food. Off the beaten path but not far from Ribeira Grande and Ponta Delgada. We worked with several travel companies and consultants and we decided to go with TourTailors due to their incredible 100% money back policy for cancellations for any reason up to 5 days prior to our departure date. This is by far the best cancellation policy out there. We are so grateful to Filipa and TourTailors for helping us plan our seamless amazing Portugal adventure. I highly recommend booking your next trip with TourTailors!“
