The "Elegantly Portugal" overnight tour was designed with the goal (accomplished) of promoting a one week private program in Portugal, but with controlled costs without decreasing the service quality for which we are known. This was achieved bearing several concepts in mind such as:
- Offering 3 hotel categories, all of them with great charm, but with different final prices for the level of service that each one of them provides. The client chooses and has the flexibility of adapting it to the intended final price.
- Staying based in two main cities of Portugal, such as Lisbon and Porto, and explore Portugal from these two places only. This concept allows us to reduce the costs of having our professionals out of their base.
- The trip between Lisbon and Porto will be made by train in first class, allowing you to have a very comfortable trip with lower travelling costs when compared to a private transfer and granting the change of enjoying a leisure afternoon in Porto. The transfers to/from the train station are optional, for those willing to add them or not to the final price.
- The private tours are escorted by an official tour guide most of the days and in other cases with a Tourism Driver (specified in the day by day program), for a better control of the costs. However, you'll always have our highly qualified professionals at your disposal.
- We have included a free day in Lisbon, to give you the possibility to explore the city on your own.

With this program you will have the chance of knowing Portugal in depth while staying very comfortably and well accommodated in the charming hotels we've selected. While enjoying private services, that will provide an optimization of your time, you will also benefit from the superior guest oriented skills and information given by our professionals. All of this with the comfort, exclusivity and class of enjoying a tour in private, at flexible and affordable prices!
