Detailed Description
Lisbon exudes romance. Colorful houses line cobbled streets, entire walls are covered in Azulejo tiles, and fado music emanates from mazy lanes with their strings of life floating into the sultry evening air. In the city, indulgence dominates the riverside, from majestic architecture to tasty morsels and cocktail bars. Of course, there are iconic romantic things to do here, such as indulging in the city’s incredible dining scene. This is a destination with so much more than just classic romance. It is a vibrant city of history and art that is surrounded by natural splendor and made even by great weather and an engrossing atmosphere.
Handcrafted for couples, this one-week Lisbon tour will provide you with an excellent blend of private time and exclusive activities. You will explore much of the best that the city has to offer, including the iconic highlights; however, you will also venture off the beaten path for more authentic experiences. Your accommodation will be in a stunning and recently converted heritage building. Here, you will have the entire top floor to yourself for sunset views and hot tub indulgence. All of your tours will be private, and the focus will be on seeing Lisbon that way you desire. You will also have customizable timings and dining recommendations tailored to your tastes.
You will begin your intimate exploration in the spa after your flight before your introductory culinary experience that will take the form of a private dinner on your penthouse rooftop. Day two will provide you with the opportunity to discover the city at your own pace before attending an ambient fado music performance in the evening. You will then escape to Alentejo on day three for an exclusive wine tasting before Lisbon’s palaces provide a dazzling experience throughout day four. On day five, you will cruise the river and indulge in Michelin-starred dining. Your final full day will present a private brunch picnic and a chance to create an Azulejo tile. That may sound like a lot for a week, but this is a city that moves to a slow rhythm, so you can take your time and absorb all of the city’s amorous ways.

The travel agent from Zicasso's tour company planned for my family of four the most spectacular and luxurious two-week trip around Portugal. We traveled to and enjoyed the highlights of Lisbon, the romantic architecture in Sintra, the incredible history of Évora, the beautiful coastline of the Algarve, the laid-back atmosphere and gorgeous scenery of Madeira, the beautiful, historical, bustling city of Porto, and the stunning scenery of the Douro Valley.
The travel agent's suggestions and bookings were all perfectly aligned with what we envisioned and the accommodations booked were all beautifully appointed and family-oriented – five-star hotels that catered to the entire family, with indoor pools and kids greeted with backpacks and toys at the door, and nightly treats on pillows.
The tour guides booked were all very knowledgeable and kind. They were patient with my two- and four-year-olds, and taught us all so many new, amazing things.
Every day was a highlight, but I would say my girls really enjoyed the tile painting as well as the pastel de nata-making workshops.
My husband and I really enjoyed Évora and Sintra, and truly seeing the beauty and history of it all.
We absolutely fell in love with Portugal, the culture, and the food. My only regret is not having more time so we could’ve seen the Azores as well and stayed even longer.
We so look forward to this travel agent planning us another perfect vacation in the near future!

We had an absolutely wonderful trip experience with Zicasso's tour agency. We planned this trip rather last minute, but everything came out wonderfully. The drivers, the guides, the hotel accommodations (especially the winery where we stayed in the Douro Valley), and the special activities, such as the sunset sailboat cruise in Lisbon, were all incredible. We could not be more pleased with this trip!!! Thank you!

Zicasso's travel agent was very easy to work with. She put together a great itinerary for our family vacation. She listened to our interests and also included some unique experiences for us that we would never have been able to set up on our own. She was also very quick to take care of some miscommunication at one of our hotels when we got to Lisbon and quickly got it resolved for us. Her communication was great and she took good care of us.

Our Zicasso travel agent curated a private tour for the six of us, including the perfect mix of historical, gastronomical, wine, and cultural experiences.
We stayed in Lisbon, Évora, the Dao Valley, the Douro Valley, and Porto. We traveled in a comfortable Mercedes van and, to break up our trips, we stopped at amazing sites along the way as we traveled from city to city.
Some of our favorite things were a private sunset sail in Lisbon, a fado dinner, the Évora Cathedral, a cork trek and wine tasting in Alentejo, the monastery at Batalha, wine tastings in Santar (Dao Valley), a boat ride on the Douro, wine tastings and hiking in the Douro Valley, the Bom Jesus shrine in Braga, the Port tasting and dinner in Porto, and multiple pastry tastings along the way.
Our guides were fantastic. They were attentive, on time, and very knowledgeable about the history and culture of each place we visited.
There were very few issues on our 17-day tour, which was literally one of the smoothest and best-curated trips we have ever had. We will use our travel company and agent again as we intend to go back to Porto and the Douro Valley.

Zicasso's travel agent provided the eight of us (four couples) a wonderful experience for first-timers to Portugal. Her attention to detail and ongoing support throughout the trip was first class. Our group got together for drinks on the last day and reminisced about how well the trip went and the special memories made based upon our agent's daily agenda. Gold-star effort!
