A fun way to get around Lisbon is via TukTuk. Since we’re a small group, we’ll decide if we prefer to do this in the morning or afternoon. If we do it in the morning then it’s a great way to get used to our surroundings and know if there’s any place we want to go back to. Otherwise we can choose to sleep in in the morning and do the tour in the afternoon. It’s up to us!

During the tour, we’ll be going around the Old Town of Lisbon and to Belem to try the original Pasteis de Belem.

The other half of the day, whether morning or afternoon, will be free time for us to get some shopping in and explore more of the Portuguese capital.

This will be a full day adventure where we’ll go to the famously beautiful Pena Palace, epic circular stairwell at the Quinta da Regaleira, and exploring the magical town of Sintra. Be prepared for a day of fun seeing some of Portugal's most iconic spots!

We’ll start the day in Lisbon. After a full day yesterday we can sleep in or get some last minute shopping before heading off to a new city! It’s about a two hour drive to Obidos where we’ll spend the night. Take this time to relax and enjoy the view through this part of Portugal.

Once we arrive we’ll check into our hotel and walk around this beautiful medieval town. It’s small, but worth visiting due to its small town charm. Obidos has a castle, walls, and white colored houses. It’s pretty well preserved and I know you’ll love the bougainvillea we’ll see as we walk around.

In the morning we’ll have breakfast and do another walk around the city before heading out to our next destination!

From here we’ll start making our way north to the Duoro Valley also known as Portugal’s Wine Region. It’s about a 3 hour drive, but we’ll make a stop along the way to eat. We'll also be stopping at the Lamego Sanctuary and then continue one. Once we check in we’ll have some time to walk around and have dinner.

Now that we’re in wine country, we’ll be doing lots of wine tastings! We’ll start with a filling breakfast then take a 30 minute drive to a small town along the river. Here we’ll be doing a boat ride with a wine tasting followed by lunch.

Afterwards we’ll be doing another wine tasting at a vineyard, called Quintas in Portuguese. This vineyard has multiple wines to try and some appetizers.

In the morning we'll have breakfast and take one last walk around before heading to Porto!

It'll be about a 2 hour drive so take in the scenery. One of our first experiences here will be watching the sunset over the Duoro river. The view is spectacular and you’ll see why so many people gather to watch this daily!

This is our last full day so we’ll do as much as we can! To get used to our new surroundings, we start off with a walking tour that includes food tastings. This way we can see the best spots around the city and try some local food.

The afternoon will be free time to explore on your own or we can stick together. I’m happy to share other spots to check out that we may not have had a chance to see during the morning. 

We’ll all get back together to enjoy our final dinner and talk about our favorite moments of the trip!

Our amazing Portugal trip has come to an end! I’m so glad that you have chosen to spend these 9 days with me. Today we’ll only have breakfast and free time until it's time to head to the airport. 

I will be heading back to Lisbon so if you prefer to do a roundtrip into and out of Lisbon, you can take the bus back with me! Just let me know what time your flight is at so we can best coordinate.
