WHAT WE’RE DOING
While you want the stress of planning left to us, we know you’ll want some free time to explore freely as well! Our itineraries are carefully crafted to give you a balance of the two each day. For example, one day we’ll take you to nearby winery for a tour and lunch, but then that evening you’re free to do dinner wherever you choose (on your own or with other travelers!) Other days you’ll have mornings to yourself to sleep in, explore at leisure or sign up for additional tours…but that evening the group will come together for afternoon activities or dinners together. But don’t worry… even with the free time you’re given, our team is here to equip you with TONS of suggestions and additional opportunities to sign up for so you’re never short of things to do.

ITINERARY OVERVIEW
While the itinerary is still being finalized (meaning the order may change and more details will continue to be added), below is an overview of what to expect on this trip:
October 9
Welcome to Lisbon! Our hotel is an easy taxi from the airport, so arrive and check-in at your own leisure. Arrivals will be happening throughout the day, so we’ll have suggested activities to fill your time until that evening when we all come together for a welcome toast and dinner together at a local Portuguese restaurant!
October 10
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before we get to know Lisbon through the eyes of a local! We’ll start our day together on a walking tour, guided by a local expert, to help you get your bearings and take in the city sights. We’ll wrap up in time for lunch, then give you the afternoon at leisure (but will offer add-on activities if you need help filling your time). That evening you can either do dinner on your own, or join the group for an add-on meal.
October 11
Have breakfast at the hotel, then we’ll set off to the coast! Our first stop will be a Portuguese winery (comprised of a tour and tasting to learn more about the local varietals and influences on the winemaking). After, we’ll have lunch by the sea before heading back to Lisbon in the afternoon. You’ll have the rest of the day free to enjoy dinner at leisure (and we’ll provide you with plenty of recos on where to go!)
October 12
Have breakfast at the hotel and enjoy your morning at leisure. Today is all about tailored activities in the city! We will be providing several add-on options for you to choose from based on what you're interested in (including a Portuguese cooking class, visiting local museums, shopping at leisure, etc.) Or, if you have a specific activity you've been dying to do, today is the day to do so! That evening we’ll all come together for a sunset cocktail experience together (dinner options to follow!)
October 13
Have breakfast at the hotel before you soak up your last day! We’ll have an optional day trip to Sintra available for those who want to visit. Otherwise you’ll be free to enjoy anything else in Lisbon that’s still on your list! That evening, we’ll come together as a group for one last farewell dinner at a beautiful spot to bookend the trip!
October 14
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before checking out and departing to your next destination!
