Have a Big Time in a Small Group

by Joaquim DeCarvalho

Who says you can’t combine “luxury” and “package tour” in the same sentence?

Meet Portugal.com’s Exclusive Expeditions. This category of first-class tour packages delivers effortless booking, world-class accommodations and an intimate group size. The result? A high-touch, maximum-luxury, authentically Portuguese journey through the country’s most captivating regions with the following attributes:

• Intimate Group – The Exclusive Expedition tours travel with an average of six persons. The official maximum for these journeys is twelve people but departures usually include fewer than eight people. Other package tours typically accommodate up to 45 passengers.
• Professional Guides – A Turismo de Portugal-certified, English-Portuguese bilingual escort accompanies travelers throughout the country. These experts always receive rave reviews from clients for their ability to discuss all aspects of Portuguese life, including local architecture, culture, cuisine, history and landscape.
• Personal Attention – The small group size enables each expert guide to provide in-depth descriptions of tour sights as well as individualized answers to questions posed by group members.
• Mercedes Minibuses – Rather than a large bus, the Exclusive Expedition tour travels the country in a much smaller bus. The Mercedes Minibus enables the travelers to see points of interest that are not accessible to larger vehicles.
• Flexible Itineraries – The small number of clients enables the guide to tweak the day’s activities to cater to the interests of the group when possible.
• Luxurious Hotels – Exclusive Expedition travelers look forward to their hotel arrival each evening almost as much as they look forward to their daily sightseeing. That’s because Portugal.com hand selects the finest properties that compliment the spirit and history of each town while at the same time offers first-class amenities and customer service. Again, many of these hotels are high-touch, smaller properties that cannot accommodate larger group tours.
• Friend & Family Groups – These tour packages are ideal for travelers who want to experience the best of Portugal in the company of their family members or friends without the hassle of booking a trip independently. Exclusive Expeditions offers private tour quality at little more than big bus tour pricing!
