Choice on Tour: Garden Guided Walk or Thermal Pool Experience
On this fascinating tour, visit the charming town of Sintra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its historic palaces, castles, and gardens, and tour the Sintra National Palace. Later, drive through the mountains to the rugged coastline, passing Guincho Beach, a favorite spot for windsurfers. Arrive at Boca do Inferno ("mouth of hell" in English), an ancient cave whose wide-open mouth juts into the sea, forming an archway. Then arrive at the Portuguese Riviera, known as the "playground of kings." Many royals and world leaders have chosen this resort area as their home, and visitors flock here to soak up the luxe atmosphere. Scenic, cosmopolitan Cascais sits on a broad blue bay with stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Whale Watching Adventure and lunch
Day 7 | Sao Miguel, Azores
$189.00 pp
Go searching for gentle giants on a whale watching excursion! Venture out into the blue Atlantic and search for some of the 28 species of cetaceans. Learn about the culture of whales in the Azores from an expert biologist, detailing the social shift of whale treatment in the area. From whale hunting to whale watching, you’ll understand the cultural evolution that has led to respecting these peaceful animals in present day. Sperm whales, pilot whales, and pods of dolphins frequent the Azorean waters, and you might be able to catch some blue whales or fin whales migrating through the area. After you’re back on land, reflect on your adventure with a lunch featuring local flavors.
Levada Walk & Santana's Traditional Houses with Lunch
Day 12 | Madeira Island
$130.00 pp
Explore Madeira's eastern side with a full-day optional tour which combines Madeira's stunning natural landsacapes with some of its early history. Start with a visit to Pico do Arieiro, one of Madeira's highest peaks where, on most days, you can stand and look down on the clouds. Follow with an easy trek along the island’s levadas, and learn about this unique watering system. Then travel to a Quinta for lunch with views of the Atlantic. End with a visit to Santana's traditional A-frame houses, constructed with triangular rooftops protected by straw. While most of these homes are no longer lived in, they are a reminder of the island’s farming past.

However, Hotel Atlas was terrible-extremely poor lighting in room. Couldn't read or put on makeup properly. On last night, we were put in a room with a sagging mattress. I was told housekeeping would "take care of it". HA! I ended up sleeping on the floor due to back pain. We had panned to stay there several extra days to explore Lisbon further, but moved to another hotel the next day.
There was way too many people on the tour. As a result, being crammed into small restaurants created long, long waits for cold, tepid food,and a waste of time when we could have been enjoying the sights.
The optional tour to eat at the palace in Lisbon was highly promoted both before and during the tour. It was terrible-terrible service, terrible food, and highly overpriced. I will be requesting a refund for the optional tour as it was a total rip off.

This is just not enough time to do any of that much less get a feel for the town in which you stopped. By mid tour couples were dropping out for the day or days and went sightseeing on their own to shop and get a better feel for the islands at a much less rushed pace.

All the people on our tour were lovely and I made new friends. I’d never been on a larger tour so this was a new experience, and we had 20 people. That seemed too many for my taste so in the future I would select smaller groups. Overall I found everything pleasant but I felt like a tourist not a traveler because of our group size and the mostly touristy places we visited. Nothing wrong with any of it, most of which I enjoyed though I’d do it different next time around. Rather than nights in Lisbon, it would have been nice to be somewhere less busy, a small quaint town like Sintra but more off the beaten track. Then if folks wanted a museum tour and shopping provide day trips into Lisbon.
