Way too much Airport and Bus time.

ServiceI thought the overall design of the trip was poor. Way too much airport and bus time. I wish I had arranged my own flights. I would have preferred a direct flight from SFO to Lisbon. I loved the Azores portion, and I loved Maria as the main guide, especially in Azores. I found the mainland person and the Madeira person to be disappointing.I do not appreciate riding for hours on a big bus, and then learning that the places we were promised in itinerary to explore often turned out to be quick stops. Extremely frustrating. They totally skipped the Alfama! Instead that guide chose to take us to the monastery just as Mass was starting, and then to the area where the gypsies accost us trying to sell junk. In Sintra, for instance, I would have preferred a shorter trip through the palace, rather then having to walk en masse, with the guide talking into our earpieces, and more time to walk the trails up to the castle and explore the town on our own. I would have liked to swim and walk around Cascais, instead of an irritating 20 minute bus stop. How ludicrous! My preference would have been Less short stops in so many places, less "Guidance", more free time with choices. Also, It was terrible to have to fly back to LIsbon,from Madeira, then fly home the next day, through Wash DC, with a 6 hour layover there. Gruelling, much waste of time. If I ever go to Portugal again, I will fly to Azores, directly. I will not join a guided tour.

TourThe Azores days were by far the highlights of the trip, thanks to Maria, for doing such a wonderful job taking us to Furnas, and the hotsprings and the wonderful earth cooked lunch in the beautiful cottage. Touring her home island was very special. I appreciated having a little walking tour at the beginning, to get our bearings, and then having some free time the next day to explore on our own. If only, the whole trip could have been this way........

ServiceVery well organized trip with wonderful stops. I would rate Ledean Hamilton six stars for her great service and help. The only two negative factors were the size of the group (38 is too many) and the hotel in Lisbon (location and bus access).

TourAs mentioned previously, the trip was great except there were too many travelers and the hotel location in in Lisbon was less than satisfactory. Again, Ledean Hamilton was especially helpful and accommodating (six stars)

Portugal-very affordable & safe!

ServiceLoved my trip to Portugal, the Islands of St Micheal and Madeira were beautiful. Loved the pace of the trip but more time in Lisboa and an extra day in Madeira would have made it perfect! Hotel Turim Saldana was fine, but location more in the heart of the city near squares and the waterfront would have been sooo much better.

TourA bit too much shopping opportunities for my taste. Most memorable was the scenery on the islands, riding the street tobaggan in Funchal. The wine and fruit flavored liquors were delish, even brought some home.
