Extremely Helpful!
Marga was a lifesaver!
“I was going to Porto and Lisbon on my own for a week before meeting a guided tour and wanted to maximize my time. Marga was wonderful! Our Zoom call was very productive. We discussed my interests, and she recommended experiences that she thought I might enjoy as well as the best ways to get around (taxis, Uber, Bolt, etc.). I provided her with my hotel information in Porto and Lisbon and a few days after the call, Marga provided me with a Travel Planner which included a day-by-day itinerary detailing what was walkable from the hotel and what required transportation. She also highlighted which sites required the purchase of tickets ahead of time to limit my waiting in line, as well as other activities in Porto and Lisbon, local insights, travel tips and restaurant recommendations.
Her planner was comprehensive and extremely helpful throughout my trip. I would highly recommend Discover Portugal to help you plan your next Portugal adventure.”

Your questions answered
Will you make all the bookings for me?
No, the eBook you receive contains a custom plan for your trip to Portugal. Booking your journey will be straightforward from there, and we will include all booking links. We can offer paid assistance if you want guidance with the bookings.
Can you help me choose the right route and things to see?
For sure! The whole idea is to create a memorable itinerary for you. We’ve got you covered, whether you want to discover hidden gems, famous sights or nature.
How will we conduct the call?
Once we have agreed on a time and date, we can schedule a call over Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams.
Can you include hiking trails, wine tastings, yoga retreats and workshops?
Yes! We love working with local guides, allowing you to relax and fully enjoy the experience. If you have any specific wishes, just let us know in the questionnaire or during our call.
How can I pay for the itinerary?
Payments can be made by bank transfer (within Europe), Debit or Credit Card (Stripe handles all secure payments). Once the payment is received and your custom itinerary for Portugal is ready, you’ll receive your eBook.
How long do I have to wait before my personalised eBook is ready?
You’ll receive your custom itinerary within two weeks after our call. Do you need it faster? There is an additional express option at checkout.
What’s your refund policy?
You can request a full refund within 24 hours of booking if no call has taken place, but once work on your itinerary has started, refunds are not possible due to the personalised nature of the service.
Can I share my itinerary with my family and friends?
The eBook is created personally for you and your travel companion(s). A lot of work goes into creating the best trip for you, and these eBooks are fully copyrighted. Therefore, you cannot share your custom trip with anyone outside your group.
I am flying to another destination, too. Can you help create a custom itinerary for me?
Absolutely. Between us, we’ve travelled extensively across six continents and lived in several countries. We’re happy to share our first-hand experience and practical insights with you.
Can I request changes to my itinerary after it has been delivered?
Your package includes one free check-in to clarify details or make minor tweaks. This can be done by email or during a quick 15-minute call. Major changes (like switching destinations or reworking the full plan) aren’t included, but additional edits or booking support can be added as optional extras if needed.
