Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

Overview
Discover the seafaring charms of the coast, the lush river valley vineyards, the hilltop castles and villages in its alpine interior and monuments to grandiose man-made achievements... Portugal may be small... but it's big on vibrant culture, history, and natural beauty that invites intimate exploration.
Spend two nights in the ancient port city of Porto with a guided visit to its historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a cruise along the Douro on a rabelo and a tour and tasting at an authentic port house. Your unique accommodation in Évora is a converted, 15th-century convent, setting the scene for guided exploration in the historic city, plus port wine and olive oil tastings in the country; and in Lisbon, a two-night stay in Portugal's capital city includes excursions to seaside Cascais and Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Unique experiences include visits to six UNESCO World Heritage Sites on guided visits with local experts, and tastings of world-famous port wine and olive oil during a tour and lunch at a renowned winery.

4Óbidos & Alentejo Wine Country
Spend the morning exploring on your own in the hilltop walled town of Óbidos, described by Condé Nast Traveler as "a medieval town that looks like it was lifted from the pages of a fairy tale." Enjoy time to wander along its cobbled streets that meander up to the ramparts, passing picturesque whitewashed houses charming with cascading bougainvillea and painted doors of every color. According to a popular legend, ever since King Dinis gifted this pretty town to his beloved Queen Isabel de Aragon in the 13th century, princes have offered it to their brides too. Lunch today is at a traditional estate in the Tejo wine region (formerly Ribatejo). This evening, check into your hotel, a restored 15th-century convent outside of town, where dinner offers a choice of Alentejo specialties.
