Detailed Description

A country characterized by a rich history, stunning scenery, and fascinating culture, Portugal practically begs to be explored. From charming fishing villages that are filled with cobblestone streets to metropolitan cities that sizzle when the sun goes down, Portugal provides a little bit of something for every luxury traveler. Whether you are seeking a restful world away from your everyday hustle and bustle, or you are looking to launch yourself into the luxurious and enticing energy of one of Europe’s most vibrant countries, this 14-day luxury tour is designed to give you the best of both worlds and bring a smile to your face while doing so.

Begin your luxury vacation spending several days in Lisbon. As Portugal’s capital city, it is no wonder that Lisbon offers near endless sights to see, but rather than explore them all on foot, you will have the amazing once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to view the city sights and stunning riverside scenery from aboard a luxury catamaran cruise. Also, while in Lisbon, you will have the chance to try your hand at creating an authentic Portuguese pastry under the expert tutelage of a Master Chef. You will then be whisked away via private transfer to a two-day adventure in which you will explore Sintra and Cascais, a land of fairytale castles and sun-dappled beaches.

After your luxury side-jaunt to Sintra, hop over to the Azores where you will spend several days being romanced and refreshed by the peaceful island mentality that can only be described as pure magic. From your base in the main town of Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel, you will journey all over the island. Whether getting pampered on a spa day among the pristine natural thermal pools in Furnas, witnessing jaw-dropping waterfalls, kayaking or cycling around Sete Cidades, or exploring working tea and pineapple plantations, you will need to pinch yourself to believe that this idyllic archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic is actually real. It is truly that beautiful.

Finish your handcrafted tour with a few days in Porto, where you will enjoy a luxury wine tour of the Douro Valley with an expert sommelier. Then, you will explore the winding streets and beautiful sights of one of Portugal’s hidden gems. Each night, you will stay in luxury accommodations, be absolutely cared for with private transfers to and from specified destinations and airports, and will have every detail of this deluxe tour catered for you with you in mind.

Portugal, Spain Tour Review: Porto, Cangas de Onis, Sidecar...

The planning experience was wonderful overall. From the initial conversation about what my family was looking for to the final touches to the itinerary, Zicasso's travel expert was engaging, responsive, and helpful.

The accommodations he selected for us exceeded expectations; they were spacious, beautiful, and well-located. The tours/activities suggested were really fun and gave us a sense of the locale in a unique and memorable way that fit our family well. Once we were in-country, communications were easy and helpful. We felt very well cared for.

Payment to our travel company was easy and it was a real pleasure once we were in-country to have all the identified items already paid for. I would definitely book a trip with them again.

Portugal Travel Review: Lisbon, Algarve, Sintra, Douro Valley,...

Our trip to Portugal was wonderful. The itinerary was well planned. Our Zicasso coordinator was in contact with us throughout and listened to our goals for the trip. We feel like we saw all the highlights, while getting to do a deep dive on selected items, for example, the Douro Valley and wine tours.

The hotels were perfect for our family; welcoming, spacious, and centrally located.

Our guides were premium! A wealth of knowledge. They were flexible to our schedule/needs and ensured we had all of the necessary experiences (best pastry shops and other unique culinary delights).

Thank you for a wonderful trip.

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.
