Small-Group Portugal Tour
7-Day Portugal Tour from Lisbon to Porto and the Douro Valley
Seven days connecting Portugal's most iconic cities, coastlines, and wine country in one thoughtfully paced journey.
This 7-day Portugal small-group tour takes a maximum of eight travellers from Lisbon's historic neighbourhoods through Sintra's palaces, the Atlantic cliffs of Nazaré, the pilgrimage town of Fátima, the riverside city of Porto, and the vine-terraced hillsides of the Douro Valley. Private transfers and an English-speaking guide are included throughout, keeping the pace comfortable without sacrificing depth.
Portugal rewards slow exploration, and this itinerary is built around that idea. Rather than rushing between landmarks, guests spend time in each destination with guided context, local tastings, and room to absorb the surroundings at a human scale.
With departures confirmed from as few as two guests, the tour is designed for flexible planning. Optional extensions to Évora, Madeira, or the Azores allow travellers to tailor the experience beyond the core route.
Tour Highlights
Guided visit to Pena Palace in Sintra, one of Portugal's most celebrated UNESCO World Heritage monuments.
Culinary tastings including pastel de Belém in Lisbon, regional pastries, and port wine in a Vila Nova de Gaia cellar.
One-hour Douro River cruise through the valley's terraced vineyards, paired with a winery visit and regional lunch.
Small-group format capped at eight guests, ensuring personalised attention from guide and driver throughout every day.
Coastal stop in Nazaré, including a funicular ride to the clifftop Sítio quarter with views over the Atlantic.
Visit to the Chapel of Apparitions in Fátima and a walking tour of Braga, one of Portugal's oldest cathedral cities.
Optional paid extensions to Évora and cork farms, Madeira, or the Azores for travellers seeking a longer Portugal experience.
