Great value. We enjoyed a private tour in a comfortable Mercedes Benz wagon. The tour included a driver/guide who was excellent. Vasco was a young but capable tour guide. He also was a polite and friendly guy who was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Portugal. A bonus was his familiarity with the restaurants along the way. The hotels and attractions were not included in the tour. Our guide was flexible and adjusted the schedule as needed. This was important since we had rainy days. He would find an indoor spot to visit when it was raining. We enjoyed the tour and recommend this company.

I agree with most of review that "Wallaby" wrote. It is a very comprehensive tour which is really what we wanted, I wanted to basically see all of Portugal and I feel we did that. Our guide, Vasco, was an excellent driver and amazed me in how he could maneuver in super tight places. I always felt safe with his driving. We were with him from 9-5 each day. I was able to chose the hotels, based on their recommendations, and they almost always were good. I would have like to have a bit more free time or at least time separate from our guide since it was just me and my husband. At times I felt it was awkward to not include him with us for lunch (the late lunch) or go to the places he suggested. On other tours we've done, the guide sort of disappeared at lunch time which might have been better since the 3 of us spent so much time together in the car already. I could have skipped a castle or 2 but I'd have the opportunity to review and tweak the schedule so no fault of the company. Ending up at the south end in Lagos, beach area was great and nice to have less history and more outdoors - could have spent another unstructured day in that area easily. Overall, I feel we really had great experience exploring so much of Portugal with Premier Tours. I have so many wonderful memories!
