“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.”

“We travelled to Spain in September this year and had a fabulous 3-week trip. We heard about TourTailors through our friends who we were travelling with, and although we had already started planning our trip, we asked TourTailors to suggest activities that we could do in each of our chosen destinations. Without exception, all our guides were terrific, and the Paella cooking class in Valencia was a highlight! Our consultant Catarina Firmo was so helpful; she listened to our interests and devised an itinerary that was perfect. She suggested day trips that we had not thought of and these were all wonderful, especially Toledo, which we had not considered visiting, but I’m so glad we did, it was so interesting. Our guide there was exceptional as well as being a lovely guy. I have told many people about TourTailors since we have returned, we were so impressed by this company and their attention to detail. We would not hesitate to use them again to plan a trip from the beginning!!“

“Tour Tailors provided us with a customized travel plan, including all accommodations, rental car and many excursions. It made going to a new country, Portugal, stress free, especially knowing that they were available to us during our vacation if we needed anything. Many thanks to Chiara for making it happen for us within our budget.”

“We waited 3 years to get to Portugal and I am so glad we let TourTailors plan our trip. The guides they chose, the hotels they picked and the itinerary they devised was perfect. Couldn’t be happier we our choice. Ines and the staff were exceedingly helpful from start to finish.”
