What travelers are saying

"A Culture Trip curated trip is a must for anyone burnt out planning their own trips or going to a remote or unfamiliar area. Having a local insider was the highlight of the trip. From the moment we landed to the moment we had to go through security to leave, we were completely taken care of. Our insider gave us great recommendations for restaurants and was very adaptable to any situation that arose."

"The trip itinerary was well thought through with the right balance of challenging walks, rest time, cultural activities and time to socialise. Joao, our guide, was exceptional. He really took on board any feedback and made sure we had the best time. The scenery in Madeira surpassed my expectations. I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting an active weeks’ holiday."

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

What travelers are saying

"I highly recommend using Magic Hills. I started planning my trip in November of 2021 and was communicating with Bronagh as I wanted to do the full Camino Frances. Right from the start I had such a great feeling dealing with Bronagh, She called me from Ireland and we chatted at length about this trip. She really was so informative and I just knew that I could trust her. So I booked the Full Frances Camino right to Finisterre leaving August 29th from SJPP. All of her suggestions, the itinerary were spot on. The accommodations were spectacular. I totally loved the walking every day, meeting up with people, enjoying the scenery, historic buildings it was truly an awesome experience. I met several people who were using other companies and from what I could tell I had the best overall service."

Portugal Tour Selection Trips

  • Prepare for your Portugal adventure with these essential travel tips to make the most of your journey:

    Pack lightweight and breathable clothing suitable for Portugal's sunny climate.

  • Remember to carry a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated while exploring.

  • Learn a few basic Portuguese phrases to enhance your interactions with locals.

  • Keep small denominations of euros handy for tipping and small purchases.

  • Respect local customs and traditions, especially when visiting religious sites.

  • Use public transportation options like trains and buses to explore cities and regions efficiently.

  • Sample Portugal's culinary delights by trying local specialties and visiting authentic eateries.

  • Be mindful of your belongings in crowded tourist areas to prevent theft.

  • Plan and book accommodations and popular attractions in advance, especially during peak travel seasons.

  • Embrace spontaneity and allow yourself to wander off the beaten path to discover hidden gems and unexpected delights.

Additional details

Tours in Portugal cover a very wide range of activity levels and interests. If you want to explore Portugal only, there are a few tours that focus on the country only however the majority of Portugal tours will also visit Spain, and sometimes Morocco. Portugal is also a popular port of call for small ship cruises to Europe.

Who will enjoy traveling in Portugal?

Portugal is great for travelers who are interested in a less visited European country. With its Mediterranean vibes combined with ancient history Portugal presents a unique travel opportunity while still remaining within the realms of comfortable travel.

For those who might be looking to stretch their comfort zone, you could consider a tour that also visits Portugal’s nearby neighbor, Morocco - a country with whom it shares much history.

Wine lovers as well should definitely consider a trip to Portugal, where the wine regions are still rugged and salt of the earth. You’ll encounter many different kinds of wine, but the major draw in portugal is the Port.

What is the weather like in Portugal?

Portugal is a small country, half of which is bordered with North Atlantic sea coastline to the west and south. The climate is largely Mediterranean and you can expect several microclimates throughout your journey. So definitely bring layers no matter what time of year you choose to tour Portugal.

The weather in Portugal is fairly mild, with the warmest months in the summer reaching around 80 degrees F, and the coolest months in the winter reaching the low 60s, with light to moderate rainfall.

What is the best time to visit Portugal?

While Portugal is a welcoming country for tourists pretty much year round, there are some things to keep in mind when planning your visit. Summertime is the peak season, and you can expect much higher crowds and prices while traveling around the country.

In June, there are major festivals held in Lisbon and Porto. Though they have religious roots, the festivals can be enjoyed by anyone looking for a good time with lots of live music and delicious traditional foods. If meeting locals, visiting small towns, and getting an authentic sense of local community, you should definitely try and attend the June festivals in Portugal.

What to wear in Portugal

Fashion in Portugal is causal - you’ll fit in just fine with jeans pretty much anywhere. Pack comfortable walking shoes or sandals. Most cities in Portugal are set up for walking - though they aren’t always flat! The 25 de Abril Bridge is not the only similarity Portugal has to San Francisco - you will experience some hills while walking around.

Sun hats, sunglasses, and light breathable clothing is recommended for the summertime. In winter, you will probably experience some rain so be sure to pack a waterproof jacket.

Even though the weather is toasty in summertime, be sure to bring a pair of long pants and shoulder covering scarf or top for when you visit churches and cathedrals.
