“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!“

“We are back from our Portugal trip. What a beautiful country and the people are so nice. (…) The hotels you picked were wonderful, all different but each with it’s own character. The hotel in Belmonte was simply exquisite. All 3 guides were excellent, each had a very extensive knowledge in the history of Portugal and the city we were visiting, and they were very easy to talk to. They all gave us very good tips and advice. (…) The food was great and the wine and port were also very good. We travelled over 2000 km on very good highways and very tight small mountain roads… We will treasure very good memories for a long time.“

“We have been back in Oregon nearly two days and still feel the warmth of Portugal. In fact we are going Port shopping later. In a word we had a fantastic trip. Working with you was easy and you were always timely and responsive. Portugal itself is amazing – people, history, culture, food, landscape. You cannot take credit for that, however the experiences you arranged that showed these things off are to your credit. The route, villages and cities we saw were great. We had a great diversity of experiences including the ones you arranged such as Fado, tours and boat rides. I would say all the local guides were excellent. Amazingly the transfers, even with a couple travel delays, went perfectly. We stayed in a great variety of accommodations and the level was right. Such fun! (…) We added a sunset tour of Sagres as we are not really sunbathers and we would highly recommend it as an option. Finally, for us, having a private driver was the best thing we could have done. We could see everything, take photos or nap, and we were never worried about highways, tiny village streets, parking or became irritable at each other. Our driver was wonderful, polite, a fine driver, made good suggestions, did whatever we needed, helped with luggage and made lunch arrangements.”
