From the riverside streets of Porto to the vineyards of the Douro, the Atlantic coast and the capital, Lisbon, explore Portugal with a Small Group tour. Along the way, discover cities shaped by trade, learning and seafaring history, with visits to royal palaces, historic quarters and local restaurants. With fewer guests, there’s more room to connect with the places you visit, whether you’re walking through old towns, cruising the Douro, sharing a Be My Guest experience or hearing Fado on your final evening.
Lisbon: Enjoy dinner on your final evening in Portugal while listening to Fado, the traditional music of Portugal with strong links to Lisbon. Rooted in the city’s old quarters, its songs tell stories of longing, love and everyday life through one of Portugal’s most recognised musical traditions.
Pinhao: Board a traditional Rabelo boat in Pinhão and cruise a stretch of the Douro once used to carry barrels of port along the river. As you pass the valley’s steep terraces and vine-covered slopes, get a closer look at the landscape that has shaped one of Portugal’s best-known wine regions.
Porto: Ride Porto’s historic tram along the river with your Travel Director, then explore the old town on foot with stops around Porto Cathedral, inside São Bento station and in the narrow streets of the Ribeira.
Sintra: Visit Pena Palace (subject to availability), the 19th-century royal palace above Sintra built as a summer residence for Portuguese royalty. As you explore its rooms, terraces and gardens, see the colours, design and hilltop setting that make it one of Portugal’s best-known landmarks.
