Portugal Holidays

Our Portugal tours are created with exactly the same winning formula as our worldwide destinations, so you can rest assured that everything is included in the price. This means all meals, centrally located hotels, immersive experiences, flights, transportation, entrance fees and guiding, and a national escort are all covered, leaving you free to simply savour the wonder of your surroundings.

Portugal’s overseas empire was one of the longest lived in history, spanning much of the globe for over 600 years. During that time the wealth of the world flowed through the country leaving a rich legacy of historical treasures from ornate palaces and grand cathedrals to grand merchants houses and imposing castles. Throw in a rich mix of history that stretches from roman ruins through medieval monasteries to Napoleonic battlefields and you have an intoxicating mix.

All these historical wonders are situated amongst some of the most delightful scenery you can imagine. Inland from the towering ocean cliffs and huge beaches bordering the Atlantic, the scenic variety is just astonishing ranging from sparkling rivers, bound by lush rolling terraces, to rugged mountain lakes and streams hidden away amongst ancient forests of cork, oak and pine. Whether you are sampling a fine vintage amidst lush vineyards, happening upon a picturesque village on a remote mountain trail or sailing along a lazy river, the natural beauty will be a lasting impression of your holiday to Portugal.

Portuguese food and wine are more than a match for their illustrious settings. Fresh and unfussy, the emphasis is on the best produce, beautifully prepared; think rustic seafood stews, hearty marinated pork sandwiches, piri-piri chicken and of course the famous custard tart, Pastel de Nata. Wash it all down with a zingy Vinho Verdi or perhaps even a glass of port!
