"We saw many places"
“We saw many places in Portugal and got a good feel for what areas we would like visit on a return trip. There was not a lot of walking so even older, less mobile people were able to participate....”

"A fabulous time!"
“My husband and I had a fabulous time!...Portugal is beautiful. We especially loved Porto. The city is vibrant and alive and full of culture... I thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas markets! That was one of the main reasons of going at Christmas time! I brought home a little bit of Portugal from beautiful tiles to some good Port wine. This is our second trip with Trafalgar and we will do another again soon!”
