Multi-day private journeys designed for one party at a time. Two days to ten or more, across Lisbon’s region, the Alentejo, the Douro Valley, Porto, the Algarve, and optionally Spain. The same Mercedes vehicle, the same driver-guide, hotels chosen for you, and an itinerary built to your interests — not a coach group’s schedule. Honeymoons, milestone trips, multi-generational families, wine pilgrimages. Each one is quoted individually.
Our 25th anniversary, eight days across Portugal. Manuel built the itinerary, our driver João made it sing. Three different hotels, restaurants we couldn’t have found, and at the end Manuel handed us a printed album of our trip. Best gift we’ve given each other.— Sophia & Andrew Bennett-Hughes, London · April 2026
The same Mercedes and the same driver-guide every day. They learn your pace, your interests, your coffee order.
Boutique, premium, or ultra-luxury — we book character properties, not chains. All accommodation included in your quote.
Plans bend to weather, mood, or curiosity. Decide each evening what tomorrow looks like. Your driver-guide reshapes around you.
One person handles your entire trip — pre-booking, communication during, and any reshuffles. WhatsApp-available throughout.
These are starting templates, not fixed products. Use them as conversation starters — we’ll reshape any of them around your dates, interests, and pace. Most multi-day quotes are sent within 24 hours of a detailed inquiry.
The classic introduction. Lisbon as your base, three day-trips, two nights in the city — perfect for travelers with limited time who still want Portugal’s most distinctive layers.
For wine lovers and slow travelers. Start in Cascais, spend two nights in the Douro Valley with three quintas, end in Porto. Most popular itinerary for honeymoons.
The full picture. Atlantic to Alentejo, Lisbon to Porto, urban to rural, palaces to plains. A week-long private journey designed for first-time and returning visitors who want depth.
The classic starting point. Sintra’s palaces, Cascais’ Riviera coast, Mafra’s monastery, and the Atlantic at Cabo da Roca.
UNESCO Évora, megaliths older than Stonehenge, cork oak plains, and wine estates. The most distinctively Portuguese countryside.
The world’s oldest demarcated wine region, terraced vineyards, Port houses, and Portugal’s second city. Wine lovers’ essential add.
Beaches, fishing villages, golden cliffs, Faro’s old town, and Lagos. Best for travelers wanting beach time within the trip.
The 13th-century university city, the Serra da Estrela mountains, and the historic villages of the Beira Interior. Off the standard track.
Seville, Mérida, Salamanca, or Santiago de Compostela. We hold the Schengen-area licensing for cross-border tours. Add to any itinerary.
Family-run guesthouses, restored convents, and design-led small hotels. Always charming, never generic. Our most-booked tier for couples.
Internationally recognized 5-star properties. The Lapa Palace, Yeatman in Porto, Six Senses Douro Valley, Convento do Espínheiro. Reliable luxury throughout the trip.
Belmond Reid’s, Olissippo Lapa Palace, Vila Joya, Quinta do Vallado, Palácio Belmonte. For honeymoons, milestone trips, or where the hotel is the destination.
Unlike fixed-itinerary tours, multi-day pricing is built from three components: vehicle & driver-guide per day, multi-day discount applied automatically, plus accommodation at your chosen tier. Everything itemized in your quote — no surprises.
Reserved evening at your quinta or villa with a private chef cooking a 4-course Portuguese tasting menu paired with regional wines. Best for honeymoons or anniversary nights.
Lisbon to Douro or Porto to Algarve by helicopter — turns a 3-hour drive into a 45-minute scenic flight. Lands at quinta-hotel pads where available. We coordinate.
Full day on a private 40-foot sailing yacht with skipper — from Cascais marina, Setúbal, or the Algarve. Lunch on board, anchor in a hidden cove for swimming.
We book your Michelin-starred dinners across the trip — from Belcanto and Alma in Lisbon to The Yeatman’s restaurants in Porto. Reservations can be hard to get without lead time.
Professional photographer joins your trip for selected days (typically 3–5 days). 100+ edited shots delivered as a private digital album. Optional printed photo book add-on.
Add 2–4 days in Spain to your trip — Seville (from the Algarve), Mérida (from Évora), or Salamanca (from the Douro). We hold the Schengen-area licensing. Hotels and routing built-in.
Booking this was the only decision we made about Portugal. Everything else — the hotels, the restaurants, the timing, the small surprises — was handed to us. We arrived, met our driver, and didn’t think about logistics for nine days. That was the luxury. Not the cars or the hotels, but the absence of decisions.David & Anjali Mehta-Roberts Sydney, Australia · February 2026 · 9-day journey
Multi-day trips raise different questions than single-day tours. These are the ones we hear most often. For tour-specific details, see the individual tour pages or simply ask in your quote request.
Ideally 4–6 months ahead for trips in peak season (May–October). The constraint isn’t our availability — it’s the hotels. Premium and ultra-luxury properties in the Douro Valley, Comporta, and Lisbon-region book up early.
For shoulder season (March–April, November), 2–3 months is usually fine. Winter trips can be arranged with 4–6 weeks. We’ll always tell you honestly if your dates won’t work — and suggest alternatives.
2 days is the minimum (from €980). Below that, a single-day tour from our standard catalog is more cost-effective. Most multi-day quotes are 3–7 days. We’ve built trips up to 14 days (full Iberian loops with Spain). There’s no upper limit.
Yes, within reason. Day-by-day flexibility is one of the main reasons people choose private over group travel. Your driver-guide can adjust the day’s plan — skip a stop, add a viewpoint, change a lunch. Hotel-night changes need 24–48 hours of notice because of booking restrictions.
Major reroutes mid-trip (e.g., dropping a region entirely or adding a new one) are possible but may incur change fees from hotels — we’ll be transparent about the costs.
All hotels are pre-booked by us under your name, with all accommodation costs included in your quote. You’ll receive a complete booking confirmation pack 30 days before your trip with hotel names, addresses, check-in dates, and confirmation numbers.
You pay one consolidated invoice to us (not individual hotels) — 30% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before arrival. No additional payments on the ground except for personal extras (room service, minibar, etc.).
Multi-day cancellation is more complex than single-day because hotel deposits are at stake. Standard policy:
60+ days before: Full refund of all paid amounts minus a €150 admin fee. 30–60 days: Refund minus hotel cancellation penalties (varies by property). 14–30 days: 50% refund typical. Inside 14 days: No refund except for documented medical emergencies, which we handle case-by-case with kindness.
Travel insurance is strongly recommended — we’ll mention this at every step.
Yes — we hold the Schengen-area driver-guide licensing required for cross-border tours. Common Spain extensions include Seville (from the Algarve, 3-hour drive), Mérida (from Évora, 2-hour drive, Roman archaeology), and Salamanca or Santiago de Compostela (from the Douro, longer drives). Typical add: 2–4 days, with all hotels and routing built into your quote.
Yes — up to 15 in a single Sprinter, or multi-vehicle groups for parties of 15–40. Common cases include wedding parties celebrating in Portugal, corporate retreats, wine clubs, and extended family reunions. Multi-vehicle groups travel together in convoy with synchronized routing.
Group hotel arrangements get more complex; we recommend booking 6+ months ahead for groups of 10+. Group corporate invoicing available.
Yes to all three categories. Dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, kosher, halal, allergies) are passed to every restaurant and hotel we book on your behalf. Mobility issues are accommodated — wheelchair-accessible vehicles, hotels with elevators and step-free access, walking routes adapted. Medical considerations (medications requiring refrigeration, dialysis arrangements, etc.) we can plan around. Tell us at quote stage and we’ll match the right driver, vehicles, and hotels.
Dates, group size, accommodation tier, and what you’d like the trip to feel like. We send detailed quotes within 24 hours. No commitment. WhatsApp us with a question if you’re still figuring out.
