Must do experiences and highlights on your tour of Portugal
UNESCO's Évora
Check out the medieval centre, admiring the impressive architecture of Évora. Walk in the footsteps of kings, who once ambled these streets and visit the Chapel of Bones decorated with over 5,000 bodies’ worth of bones.
Sardines and Sunshine
Spend some time sunning yourself in the Algarve - a mecca of beautiful beaches, charming coastal towns, and delicious fresh seafood served beachside against a backdrop of the Atlantic.
Lisbon’s Old World Charm
Visit the historic sites, from the 500-year old intricate arches of Jerónimos Monastery to the patisserie that has perfected making pasties de nata for over 200 years.
Fairy Tale Sintra
Home to pastel coloured buildings and mossy gardens, Sintra is like something out of a storybook. The forest clad landscape is crowned by the colourful Palácio Nacional da Pena, where the sweeping views are sure to impress.
Porto’s Cellar Doors
Immerse yourself in the allure of Porto, where cobblestone streets guide you to the cellar doors of Vila Nova de Gaia (don’t miss a port tasting!) and past facades adorned with blue and white glazed tiles.

Disappointed with Travel Director Best of PortugalSusan, VIC, Australia, Oct 2026
The Best of Portugal tour with Trafalgar had 52 people on it, way too many for my liking. It was a nice tour but had too many optional extras and were very expensive for what they were, especially the dinners. The tour director Tiago was not accommodating, I witnessed him being dismissive of travellers requests and concerns. He did the bare minimum read more and talked about himself too much and how if we didn’t rate him a high score he won’t get much work. Of all my trips with Trafalgar this is my least favourite.

This was my first Globus journey and I feel that we were so lucky! First of all Luis our tour director was so fun and had so much knowledge to share with us. That was a great personality combo! Second our bus driver, Joel was a master behind the wheel!! Third we had a small group of 29 who ranged in age from 10 to 81 … who I now call my friends. I read more can’t wait to make another reservation. And PS…I was one of the 81 year olds!
