Private Excursions
Beyond the City

Pena Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, Monserrate and the Portuguese Riviera coastline as far as Cabo da Roca — the westernmost point of continental Europe.

A private journey through the terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley — the oldest demarcated wine region in the world — with cellar visits, winemaker conversations and a riverside lunch.

Évora's Roman temple and medieval cathedral in the morning, Herdade do Esporão for lunch and wine tasting in the afternoon — the full Alentejo experience in a single day.

The Atlantic coast at its most wild — the turquoise waters of the Arrábida Natural Park in the morning, and the rice paddies and stilt houses of Comporta in the afternoon.

The medieval walled town of Óbidos — entirely intact behind its Moorish battlements — and the Sanctuary of Fátima, where three shepherd children reported apparitions of the Virgin in 1917.

The dramatic coastal geology of the Western Algarve — Ponta da Piedade's rock arches and sea caves, Cape St Vincent at the continent's southwestern extremity, and the finest beaches in Portugal.
