Itinerary

Day 1  Lisbon      
Meeting in the luscious city of Lisbon, admire the Gothic glamour, winding cobbled streets, gorgeous cathedrals and scenic views. But the best way to explore this gastronomic capital is through taste, so bond with your group today over a visit to the Time Out food markets. Afterwards, maybe go for a glass of port in the Bairro Alto and watch the sunset.      

Day 2  Lisbon to Porto    
En route to Porto you've got a few special stopovers, such as the sacred place of miracles: Fatima. Said to be the site where the Virgin Mary appeared to peasant children, Fatima attracts 6 million people a year. Next, stop for lunch at the lively city of Coimbra. Cruising into the terracotta washed city of Porto, you'll explore this city on foot, seeing all the main sites like the lavish Sao Fransisco Church and 19th century Palácio de Bolsa, and sneaking in some cheeky port tasting on the way.      

Day 3  Porto      
Porto is a spectacular city, but it's also very hilly. You'll have the chance to explore the city in your free time, before an optional EatWith experience this evening. This brings you into the homes of locals, who host and cook for you for a uniquely authentic dining experience. As well as sampling a delicious array of traditional Portuguese food, you'll sample some port, and hear stories from your hosts about their lives in this spellbinding city.    

Day 4  Porto to Peniche      
After breakfast, take the coach towards Santa Cruz. First, stop off at the mini-Venice of Aveiro. You'll have an optional traditional boat tour to cruise the winding canals, admiring the colourful houses and learning about the area's history. This afternoon, arriving on the surf shore of Peniche, settle into your modern hotel dedicated to surfing, with whitewashed walls, colourful rugs & wall murals, right in front of Alfarroba beach. Complete with indoor & outdoor swimming pools, a bar, Green Key sustainability award status and connections with a local surf school, this is the perfect place to stay, whether you’re looking to kick back or hit the waves.

Day 5  Peniche      
Peniche is famous for its supreme surf beach - Praia dos Supertubos, less than 10mins from our accommodation - with a tubular wave that makes it one of the locations of choice for big time international surf event Rip Curl Pro. The shallow slope combined with the north wind and ocean currents together create a tall, perfectly hollow wave for surfing and bodyboarding.

Day 6  Peniche to The Algarve
Another trip to the past as you head inside the 14th century walls of Evora, home to grandiose medieval cathedrals, roman baths and a spectacular town square. After wondering the cobbled streets you'll head on towards the Algarve.  

Day 7  The Algarve
Today is yours to enjoy the Algarve. Play golf, eat, take a boat trip, swim, soak up some rays or enjoy some water sports. The choice is yours in this sun-drenched playground.  

Day 8  The Algarve to Lisbon      
After breakfast, it’s a short drive from Algarve back to Lisbon today. Here you’ll enjoy more time to explore this fascinating capital with a Street art tour of the Cascais district. Hosted by local residents, this tour showcases the culture of a neighbourhood, shaking off old perceptions by creating an urban art gallery unlike anywhere in the world. Later, enjoy an optional farewell feast.

Day 9  Lisbon      
Say your goodbyes and depart at any time.
