Portugal Tours & Holidays

From rolling vineyards and pretty fishing villages to sweeping mountains and endless stretches of sandy dunes, Portugal holidays are a delight.

Discover hidden gems and captivating landscapes on our carefully curated small group escorted tours of Portugal. The country's two most popular cities, Lisbon and Porto, are perfect for European city breaks, with cultural and historical attractions aplenty and picture-perfect scenery. Douro River cruises provide the chance to explore vineyards and sip the region's famous beverage, Port. The fairytale-esque town of Sintra is home to majestic and mysterious palaces, while the elegant beach resort towns of Cascais and Estoril attract sun worshippers from nearby Lisbon.

In the South, the sunny Algarve is a firm favourite for its pristine beaches and broad range of family-friendly resorts, complete with kids' clubs and inviting swimming pools. The region's capital, Faro, is a popular stop on many southern Portugal tours, with a charming old town complete with grand centuries-old buildings, cosy cafes and cobbled streets. For a spot of sunbathing, Albufeira is home to world-class beaches with golden sand and those coveted turquoise waters.

There are plenty of traditional dishes to try when visiting Portugal. These include bacalhau com natas, cod baked with cream and potatoes, and francesinha, a sandwich-like meal made with beef or pork, ham and cheese and covered in a tomato sauce.

If you have a sweet tooth, pastel de nata – delicious egg tarts with a wonderful, flaky crust – are a real treat. They may have become a patisserie staple across the world in recent years, but these delicious custard-filled tarts originated in Portugal, believed to have been created by Catholic monks.

Wine lovers enjoying our escorted tours in Portugal will find many excellent, well-priced red and white wines to enjoy, including the famous Vinho Verde. And, of course, you can try any number of port-wines when visiting the lodges in the Oporto area.
