Trip of a lifetime! Premium Portugal was nonstop beauty - Lisbon to Porto, history, food, wine, music, art, architecture, and culture everywhere. Daniel was the best guide (10/10!). Can’t wait to come back and explore even more of this incredible country.

I have used Intrepid three times now and I have another 4 tours booked in the next month, I love that the groups are small, the vans are luxurious and the hotels are very comfortable and in a great location, the tour leaders are always very knowledgeable and very helpful, which makes for a relaxing holiday.

For a time constrained, short tour of Portugal this was the perfect itinerary. Well organised schedule but with some free time to explore other suggested places of interest. Great overview of history, food, wine and language in three superb locations. Exceptional tour leader !

Our Portugal tour of Lisbon, Coimbra, Sintra and Porto was perfect. Our tour guide (German) offered so much information each day - history, culture, geography. Always willing to answer any questions and offer guidance for use of our free time. I hope we luck out and have German as our guide when we take a future Intrepid tour of Spain

As a first-time soloist traveler, this tour could not have been better. The balance of organized activities and free time was thoughtfully planned to allow connecting with group members and private time alone. The group leader (Daniel Martin) was amazing. He was meticulous, knowledgeable, caring, warm, yet professional. The hotels were very nice, and the activities were varied, cultural, and just fun! This tour has definitely surpassed my expectations, and I look forward to joining for others in the future!
