    Portugal: Lisbon, All-inclusive Algarve w/Douro valley cruise

    Enjoyed our stay tremendously. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and helpful, especially Bruno. Rides were on time and drivers were helpful. Seeing Fatima was nice but the overall experience there disappointed. It was basically a long drive out and back. The train rides were enjoyable and something we Americans rarely experience. Porto was lovely and "busy." Very nice accommodations at Porto Trindade and The Patio. The Neya Hotel was rather sterile compared to the others. The winery tours at Fonseco, Croft, etc and the river cruises were a highlight for our group - especially the guide David and bus driver Paulo. Amaranth was a nice stop with the church visit. Frankly, the airport experiences, which was beyond your control, left us disappointed.

    Highlights of Portugal W/Hanging Garden of Europe

    My family and I really enjoyed our trip to Portugal. The tour company made it easy to enjoy the trip without having to organize and research each step of the trip. Each guide did a very good job. We were also happy that we upgraded our tour to have private transfers and upgraded hotels. The transfers made it easy to get to each location easily with such a busy schedule. I also really appreciated the prompt communication I experienced with the tour company. Any time I had a question or needed assistance, I received an answer quickly. I would use this tour company again.

    Excellent Team - Reliable and Very Helpful

    The team at Wanderful and also Tourradar were excellent and efficient. They were quick to answer requests and questions in a constructive manner. The transfers were well worth it and the WhatsApp reminders of the next day's activities or train details made for an enjoyable, hassle-free trip. Excellent attention to detail. The hotels in Lisbon and Porto were 4-star rated, and the SANA Malhoa in Lisbon was particularly excellent. The Grand Muthu Oura View Beach Club Hotel in Albufeira was not a 5-star hotel as it claimed, and some parts of the room needed updating. However, the view, location, staff, and cleanliness were excellent. The tours provided, and our tour guides (Marco A, Bruno A, and Inez S), were informative and friendly.

    We now booked a second trip with Wonderful Holidays in November - this time, it was a trip to Portugal. The price was good and the hotel & food was top class.
