“We just returned from a 16 day trip throughout Spain planned for us by Joao at Portugal/Spain Trails. We could not have been more pleased with the entire experience. All of the hotels, drivers, tours were great. When we wanted to add things mid-trip they helped us plan additional tours. I cannot recommend them high enough. We started in Madrid and basically went through the South of Spain ending in Barcelona and the Costa Brava. Joao recommended Begur in the Costa Brava which was a hi-lite of the trip.”

“Working with Portugal Trails, and Goncalo specifically, was a joy. We had to defer our trip for 2 years due to COVID, and, when we finally were ready to travel again, Portugal Trails honored everything from our initially booked and deferred trip, even the price! They are a stand up company. Every detail was well thought out, and the “trip book” they prepared, which was the Bible for our trip, was invaluable. They booked amazing hotels for us, ones that we would have never been aware of had we planned the trip without their assistance. We would highly recommend them!”

“Wonderful and memorable trip. Everything was first rate! The hotels, the experience and all of the guidance. We did things we would have never been able to plan. Strongly recommend if you want to “do things on your own” without the stress of knowing where to stay and what to do. Thank you so much for everyone at Portugal trails!”

“We just completed a 19 day trip to Spain completely arranged by Joao Silva at Portugal Trails. We used him a few years ago for a trip to Portugal. He did a fantastic job planning both trips. He selected wonderful hotels & tours and the personalized book they gave us had lots of information and travels trips. I have recommended Portugal Trails to several friends and will continue to do so. They made the trip so easy. He was very responsive on email and easy to contact by phone before the trips.”

“We just returned from two weeks in northern Portugal and a few days in Madrid, all arranged by Portugal Trails. We had heard wonderful things from friends who’d used them for a private tour in 2019. Our private tour was spectacular. Private cars or trains for travel and tours, even for some intercity travel. Not driving ourselves was a first for us, but from now on we’ll stick with it. Our drivers and guides were, without exception: pleasant, personable, intelligent and highly informed. Our private tour of the Douro was aboard a mint ’60s Chris Craft! The hotels were perfect, the private wine tasting and gourmet tasting luncheon splendid. Can’t say enough positive things about Portugal Trails.”

“My husband and I have been singing the praises
of our 24 day self- drive trip organized by Portugal Trails agent,Gonçalo Oliveira. Everything was perfect from start to finish! Gonçalo listened to our requests , implemented them beautifully, made excellent suggestions for tours, guides and places to visit and arranged for car rental as well as airport pick upon arrival and delivery on departure.His choice of accommodations were spot on. We selected category “ moderate” and the hotels were well above our expectations with 4 star category. They were centrally located, clean, helpful staff ,excellent buffet breakfasts and parking.
The personal programmed GPS for our trip was invaluable. It was a real bonus and an excellent idea of Portugal Trails.
Upon arrival in Portugal, we were given an excellent Portugal Trails guidebook as well as a portfolio of individual coupons for our accommodations and tours. Made checking in effortless!
We are seniors and were very happy to have 24 hour emergency service. Fortunately, we did not have to use it.
Gonçalo checked in with us during our trip to be sure all was well and reminded us to get in touch with him , if needed.
My husband and I have travelled the world , usually planning our own trips. Our choice of Portugal Trails to help us transition to travel agents was an excellent choice. We highly recommend the company as well as Gonçalo Oliveira as an agent.You will very happy with your choices!”
