Recently back from this enjoyable tour & thought I'd post a brief review.

We had a friendly group of 28 very capably managed by Ricardo Lima who had a wealth of knowledge of all things Portugese.

Our hotel had a great location & overall was very good, the staff so friendly & helpful. Buffet meals were not brilliant but good enough with plenty of choice.

I went on all of the trips & enjoyed the variety of them all, plus 2 free days to explore the local area.

If you are thinking of booking this tour I hope this helps

Thanks Barbara. Comments on the poor food have always put me off, which is silly I know.

The hotel location looks amazing!

I'm also on this trip in September and welcome this review. Looking forward to it but a shame food doesn't seem to have improved much since negative reviews last year

I really wouldn't worry too much about the food, personally I liked it, there was so much to choose from. You do have to take into account that it is buffet food not table service. Several people I spoke to said they would like to have stayed a bit longer, so it couldn't have been too bad, I would be very happy to return

Regards

Thanks Barb, that's really helpful. I much prefer a buffet to table service as I'm a very fussy eater. Experience tells me it is more difficult to lay on a buffet beyond reproach. Also opinions are very subjective and what one person likes another hates. Will look forward to my trip without reservation now.

Personally, I would not let reviews about poor food put me off if I really wanted to do the holiday as everyone's expectations are different. I always say to myself that it is not 'home' and as long as I get something I am a happy bunny!

Please post your thoughts when you return, I will be interested to hear how you got on. Hope you find that the food suits you ok & enjoy those lovely views from the terrace!
