7-Day Private Tour of Portugal: Lisbon to Porto
Discover the heart of Portugal at your own pace, from the capital to the north.
This 7-day private tour of Portugal is designed for travellers who want to explore the country's most captivating regions between Lisbon and Porto with comfort, flexibility, and genuine local insight. The itinerary covers the best of central and northern Portugal without requiring constant hotel changes, keeping your base cities stable while you venture out each day. Local tastings, cultural landmarks, and scenic landscapes are woven into every stage of the journey.
Travelling with a small private group means the pace adapts to you rather than the other way around. Distances between stops are manageable, and the route is planned so that overnights fall in Lisbon or Porto, letting you settle in and truly experience both cities. This approach reduces travel fatigue while maximising the variety of places you visit along the way.
From the historic streets of Lisbon and the wine-rich Douro Valley to the medieval towns scattered through central Portugal, this tour connects destinations that tell the story of the country across centuries. Local food and wine tastings are integrated throughout, giving you a genuine sense of Portuguese flavour and culture beyond the postcard highlights.
Tour Highlights
Explore Lisbon's historic neighbourhoods and iconic monuments on the first and last days of the tour.
Enjoy tastings of local products including Portuguese wine, cheese, and traditional cuisine throughout the route.
Visit notable cities and towns in central Portugal during travel days between Lisbon and Porto.
Experience the Douro Valley and the northern region around Porto with a knowledgeable private guide.
Overnight stays are based in Lisbon and Porto only, reducing the need to pack and unpack at multiple hotels.
Private small-group format ensures personalised attention and a flexible itinerary tailored to the group.
