Detailed Description
Lisbon exudes romance. Colorful houses line cobbled streets, entire walls are covered in Azulejo tiles, and fado music emanates from mazy lanes with their strings of life floating into the sultry evening air. In the city, indulgence dominates the riverside, from majestic architecture to tasty morsels and cocktail bars. Of course, there are iconic romantic things to do here, such as indulging in the city’s incredible dining scene. This is a destination with so much more than just classic romance. It is a vibrant city of history and art that is surrounded by natural splendor and made even by great weather and an engrossing atmosphere.
Handcrafted for couples, this one-week Lisbon tour will provide you with an excellent blend of private time and exclusive activities. You will explore much of the best that the city has to offer, including the iconic highlights; however, you will also venture off the beaten path for more authentic experiences. Your accommodation will be in a stunning and recently converted heritage building. Here, you will have the entire top floor to yourself for sunset views and hot tub indulgence. All of your tours will be private, and the focus will be on seeing Lisbon that way you desire. You will also have customizable timings and dining recommendations tailored to your tastes.
You will begin your intimate exploration in the spa after your flight before your introductory culinary experience that will take the form of a private dinner on your penthouse rooftop. Day two will provide you with the opportunity to discover the city at your own pace before attending an ambient fado music performance in the evening. You will then escape to Alentejo on day three for an exclusive wine tasting before Lisbon’s palaces provide a dazzling experience throughout day four. On day five, you will cruise the river and indulge in Michelin-starred dining. Your final full day will present a private brunch picnic and a chance to create an Azulejo tile. That may sound like a lot for a week, but this is a city that moves to a slow rhythm, so you can take your time and absorb all of the city’s amorous ways.

We had a wonderful mother-daughter trip to Spain and Portugal! I traveled with my 16-year-old daughter and everything was beautifully organized—excellent accommodations, knowledgeable guides, reliable drivers, and thoughtful recommendations throughout.
