From our travel specialists
Confirm the Difference Between a Driver and an Official Guide
Private transportation does not always mean a licensed guide accompanies every day. Some programs use an experienced tourism-driver, some include local official guides for selected visits, and others offer a guide-driver supplement. Compare those details if in-depth interpretation inside monuments and historic sites is important to you.

Planning questions
Premium Private Portugal Tour FAQs
Are these tours completely private?
The private land services identified in the itinerary are reserved for your traveling party. Always check the package page because a specific experience, cruise or attraction may operate differently.
Does a private driver also act as a guide?
Not necessarily. The package may provide a tourism-driver, local official guides for selected visits or an optional guide-driver arrangement. The itinerary identifies the included service.
Can the itinerary be changed?
Adjustments are often possible, subject to hotel, driver, guide and attraction availability. Larger changes may require a tailor-made quotation rather than a simple modification.
Are entrance fees and meals included?
Only where listed. Review the inclusions on the individual package rather than assuming every private tour covers the same meals, admissions and experiences.
Can I add extra nights in Lisbon or Porto?
Usually, subject to hotel availability. Extra nights are a useful way to add independent time before or after a structured private route.
Can I combine a private mainland tour with Madeira or the Azores?
Yes in many cases. Flights, island hotels, transfers and selected experiences can be coordinated as an extension to the mainland itinerary.
