“Bom dia” (hello in Portuguese), I’m Joel from Portugal! I love my country, I love people, I love talking and I love to eat and drink, so I think I have the right job!!
We have a very unique approach towards travel... Once a traveler said to us at the end of their journey "is like having a friend showing you around", this is the best way to describe our vision about travelling.

Based in Portugal, I love exploring. In fact, I believe it's in my blood. Over the years, we have built up an incredible, niche portfolio for extraordinary travel experiences in Portugal and now also Spain.
Karina
I love traveling and being based in Portugal is perfect for this - the Iberian peninsula has so many hidden gems to explore and I try to see as many of them as possible. We have delicious food, an interesting and unique culture, gorgeous nature and the friendliest people ever (I might be a bit biased!). Come and join us for a luxury escape to Portugal and Spain.

We just wanted to give you some feedback on our itinerary. We were happy with all the hotels but especially enjoyed Melia Aeroporto. It was beautiful and the staff was professional. We had dinner there and enjoyed it. The breakfast was bountiful and delicious. We enjoyed all our stops and really enjoyed the Fado show. Boca do Inferno was a beautiful stop. Sintra was hard to access so we did skip it but stopped in Cas Cais briefly and thought it was lovely. The sailboat cruise was ok but it was drizzling and they didn't tell you what you were looking at unless you asked for that information. Porto was amazing and the wine cellar tour was wonderful. We enjoyed our meal at Escondidinho. Guimaraes was great and we enjoyed lunch there in the courtyard. Douro Valley was beautiful and the river cruise was well worth it. We had dinner at The Vintage House which was classy. The surrounding area was desolate at night. Next time we book with Rough Guides we would definately stay away from a standard transmission rental car. We appreciated your guidance and to know that you were accessible most times when we had questions. We had a great trip and thank you for all your knowledge. Will definitely recommend Rough Guides for future travel.

Just wanted to express my thanks to Joel and Rough Guides for a wonderful trip! Everything was well-chosen and we just loved all of the hotels, sightseeing recommendations, activities, etc. The one time we had an issue (and it really was only one time), I called Joel and he responded immediately and fixed the problem. Thanks again!
