Outstanding 12 Days in Portugal.

Simply put, an outstanding 12 Days with Victor. After departing the airport, had an excellent informative short 3 hour tour around Lisbon. Next day was another great day with Victor, started our day at Pasteis de Belem, to try their famous Pastels De Belim. (Outstanding). Spent the remainder of the day sightseeing on the outskirts of Lisbon, unfortunately our day ended and we had to return to our hotel. On May 14th, Victor drove us to Vigo, Spain to meet friends and start our 10 day Camino Walk. On May 23rd, Victor picked us up in Santiago, Spain, to start 2 wonderful days in Porto. Victor felt bad that we did not get to see what had been planned in Porto on the 23rd, due to our late arrival in Porto from Santiago. The next day after an amazing day in the Douro Valley, Victor took extra time to show us what we had missed the previous day. We then returned to Lisbon, for 6 outstanding days with Victor. While all tours were outstanding, we especially loved his out of the way small restaurants he picked for our daily lunches, in addition we looked forward to Victor’s daily surprises, he had planned for us. His surprises were not part of the daily itinerary. Saying goodbye to Victor on the 1st of June, was emotional, Like saying goodbye to a family member. Well done Portugal Magik Tours and Victor.

We Portugal Magik for a 6 day private tour of Portugal. Gonzalo helped organize an itinerary that would fit best to our needs. He was very helpful the whole way with the daily activities as well as discussing my hotel accommodations. This company can book it all if you wish. The communication and emails regarding Portugal in general were welcomed from the time I contracted with the company. Diogo, our tour guide, was recommended by friends and picked us up with my name on a sign and drove us to our hotel at a late hour and made sure we were checked in and taken care of. He was very punctual, spoke English very well, was easy to understand, and extremely knowledgeable about all things Portugal! We spent the next six days with him from Porto to Lisbon and all of the interesting towns and sites in between. Our experience was top notch and I would highly recommend this company to anyone visiting beautiful Portugal!

Our two week trip to Portugal was a wonderful experience. We started in the north in Porto and the Douro Valley, then to Coimbra, then to Lisbon and the Algarve and all points in between. Our guide, Joao Madeira, was with us the whole time. His knowledge of the history of Portugal and Europe was unsurpassed. We learned so much from him each day. His patience and humor made each day a pleasure. When we needed to revise our schedule, his alternative choices were even better then our original plan. Our driver was wonderful. His professionalism and good humor made us feel safe each day. I can't thank Joao and our driver enough for making this trip an wonderful experience.
