We were two couples (close friends) on a 16 day excursion of mainland Portugal. Our goal was to explore the magic of Portugal by interacting with the people, visiting its sights and learning about its culture. Our Tour company, Portugal Magik helped us arrange a great 16-day tour starting at Lisbon and traveling by private van to Portimao, Evora, Nazare, Fatima, Coimbra and finally to Porto. We discovered the quintessential Portugal by visiting all the main sights on the mainland and by interacting with the people in the restaurants, shops and landmarks. Vasco, our Tour Guide/Driver/Tour Manager was simply outstanding. He was knowledgeable of the history and significance of each major attraction and he knew which times to go so as to beat the crowds. I highly recommend Portugal Magik and our Tour Guide/Tour Manager, Vasco. They made our vacation memorable and we thank them for their care and attention to detail.

My husband and I booked a private 8-day tour with Portugal Magik, and it exceeded our expectations. As a gay couple in the process of applying for residency in Portugal, we weren’t just sightseeing — we were exploring with the hope of finding our future home.Our guide, Vasco, was incredible from day one. Warm, funny, and easy to communicate with, he went above and beyond to customize the route to our interests — from charming coastal towns and hidden villages to local food spots we never would have found on our own. We covered so much ground between Porto and Lisbon, yet never felt rushed.Beyond the stunning views and rich history, what truly made this trip special was the personal connection. Vasco wasn’t just a guide — by the end of the trip, he felt like a lifelong friend.If you're looking for a personalized and welcoming experience in Portugal, especially as LGBTQ+ travelers, Portugal Magik is the tour company for you. We came away with unforgettable memories… and even more excitement about making Portugal home.

Our group of 6 booked a private tour of Portugal visiting Lisbon, Porto and the Douro River Valley. Diogo was our guide for the entire trip. I picked Portugal Magic based solely from reviews so I was a little nervous. Don’t hesitate or be nervous about booking this company. Prior to our trip, the company was very responsive to questions, flexible and accommodating to all our requests. Once we arrived, we met Diogo. Diogo was very knowledgeable about Portugal, polite, fun, on time, and a joy to spend our vacation with. He made the trip one of our most memorable experiences. By the end of the trip, I felt I had a gained a friend.I can’t say enough good things about Diogo or our experience with Portugal Magik!
