Dear Paula, Thank you for making our travel arrangements during our trip to Lisbon. We had a wonderful time. Each activity was well chosen to give us a great perspective of Lisbon and Portugese culture. Having Nuno as our tour guide added a great deal to our understanding of the culture and history and to getting an overview of the city. He was engaging and knowlegable and his tours were well planned. In hindsight, we would have wanted to spend time in the gardens of Sintra, but we didnt verbalize this to him. We think this would be a good addition. He was great! The Fado and dinner was a highlight of the trip. The food was authentic and very good. A perfect way to spend a beautiful evening in Lisbon. The sunset cruise was a nice way to see the city from another perspective and the excellent weather made the evening special. The Hotel Bario Alto was great- a little pricey, but we loved the location and the staff was excellent. Our plans to visit Portugal started with a switch of out time share into Madera and we added the stay in Lisbon to the itinerary. We had been to Portugal 30 years ago but never to Lisbon and we promised ourselves that we would return. We hope to return to Portugal in the not too distant future. We want to explore Porto and the north next time. Again, thanks for making the arrangements.

PORTUGAL….a diamond in the rough …at least that was my last recollection from 8th grade geography & history…. We quickly saw this beautiful country transformed into a highly polished gem….the likes of which resembled the Hope Diamond. A last minute change of plans found us looking for a break after a med cruise out of Barcelona…we contacted paula of travel tailors, and she instantly crafted a private tour that captured our interest and satisfied our travel budget.
Paula s custom tailor skills put together an interesting itinerary, covering the highlights of each place of interest…professional guides, Marco Noivo and Susana Bras, blended in by contributed their expert historical knowledge and background…I can say, I never had such an interesting and exciting lecture in history….i remember vasco de gama, but I actually touched his tomb!
Sleeping and eating accommodations also exceeded my expectations…the local restaurants were cozy and provided the ambiance for a relaxing meal and light conversation…..and the roasted suckling pig made each step of the way a memorable experience. Paula, you and your expert staff are to be commended. Your team has made our trip to Portugal an interesting and memorable event…it will certainly bring us back in the future…..i have already recommended friends to contact you, and will continue to do so in the future.
Please feel free to share our vacation success with whomever you wish, and should your travel plans bring you to Denver Colorado USA, please plan to spend some time together….perhaps we can even plan for our next trip to Portugal.
Thanks again.

A number of people asked us – Why Portugal? and we said Why not?… it is a beautiful country, great people, excellent food and the wine…oh the wine is just great! We loved Porto and it was a great thing that the airline planned a strike for the first few days. The changes to our itinerary were just right since we got to see a bit more of this beautiful country. Travel Tailors put together a great itinerary for us and went out of their way to make sure our vacation was perfect. They stayed in contact even when we were in Portugal, from meeting us at the airport and sending us off. Our vacation was effortless and we thank Paula and Travel Tailors for this!!!

I think the Pousada of Valença is a destiny that I recommend to everyone for every ocasion. It´s an historical site, calm, relaxing, beautiful view, close to other interesing places, good service, nice ambient and space.

I went to Aldeias do Xisto for the first time and loved it. I stayed in a little village very welcoming, where the people are very nice. I had the chance to try to make homemade goat cheese; we got up early to milk several goats and let it curdle; as this process was occurring, we had an amazing breakfast with homemade jam and some divine eggs. After a lovely walk around the village, we came back to finish our cheese, which was really fun. Right after the cheese making, we went to a family’s the house in a nearby village, where we made bread, and cooked it in an outdoor wood oven, so that we could eat it with the cheese. It was a really fun day, that I hope I can relive with my family.

To discover Portugal and, especially, the historical villages of the countryside made it possible for me to find the soul of a country with priceless cultural and natural heritage. The people (and their absence) marked me by their profound and strong roots to their land. People marked by the nostalgia of golden times and determined to not let go of the Portuguese identity.
