Portugal

Oh, Portugal!  I specialize in transforming your Portuguese travel dreams into unforgettable adventures. With  27 years of experience under my belt and a heart fueled by wanderlust, I dive deep into the vibrant tapestry that Portugal offers—from its sun-kissed coastlines to the charming cobble stoned villages.


My trip to Portugal was truly unforgettable. From the moment I landed in Lisbon and walked the cobblestone streets of the old town, I was captivated by the country's history and charm. I spent hours exploring the historic neighborhoods of Alfama and Baixa, admiring the stunning architecture and vibrant street art. The warm hospitality of the locals made me feel right at home, and I enjoyed trying traditional dishes like bacalhau and pastel de nata.


One of the highlights of my trip was visiting the beautiful city of Porto and cruising down the Douro River to see the famous port wine cellars. The stunning views of the vineyards and terraced hillsides were simply breathtaking. I also had the opportunity to relax on the picturesque beaches of the Algarve region, soaking up the sun and enjoying the fresh seafood. Overall, my trip to Portugal was a truly magical experience that left me with cherished memories that will last a lifetime.


My best experience with Portuguese dishes was during a trip to Lisbon, where I had the opportunity to try traditional Bacalhau à Brás. This dish consisted of flakes of salted cod mixed with onions, potatoes, and scrambled eggs, creating a unique and delicious flavor combination. The dish was served with a side of olives and a glass of Vinho Verde, a crisp and refreshing white wine from the region. The flavors of the dish were unlike anything I had ever tasted before, and it left me eager to explore more of Portugal's rich culinary traditions. This experience sparked a love for Portuguese cuisine that I still cherish to this day.


Such a gem of a destination to have on your bucket list, Here's why Portugal should absolutely be part of your travel dreams:


Stunning Landscapes: From the golden beaches of the Algarve to the terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley, Portugal offers breathtaking scenery at every turn. The country's varied terrain is perfect for both relaxation and adventure.


Rich History and Culture: Walk through centuries-old cobblestone streets in Lisbon, explore the medieval architecture in Porto, or visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites like the Tower of Belem and Jeronimos Monastery. Portugal's culture is a tapestry of its storied past.


Delicious Cuisine: Portuguese food is amazing! Indulge in the freshest seafood, indulge in traditional dishes like Bacalhau à Brás and sample iconic pastéis de nata for dessert.


Fado Music: Experience the soul-stirring sounds of Fado, a traditional Portuguese genre known for its expressive and melancholic style, often performed in quaint bars or vibrant music venues.


Warm and Welcoming Locals: The Portuguese are known for their warmth and hospitality, making your travel experience even more enjoyable.


Amazing Wine: Portugal is a paradise for wine lovers. Don't miss trying a glass of Port wine in Porto or touring the lush vineyards in the Douro Valley.


Affordable Travel: Compared to many other Western European countries, Portugal is relatively affordable, offering budget-friendly options without compromising on experience.


Year-Round Pleasant Climate: With over 300 days of sunshine, Portugal boasts a pleasant climate throughout the year, making it a great destination no matter when you plan to visit. 


Join me, and let's make your travel dreams a dazzling Portuguese reality. With my knowledge and Portugal's charm, your adventure awaits!

Hi Hulya

I hope you are doing well ??

We enjoyed Turkey so much, especially the people, culture, sights and of course the food! For our anniversary, we had dinner overlooking the sea at sunset.Our Tour guide in Istanbul was wonderful we liked the Bosporus cruise dinner and Cappadocia wine tours

All transfers and tours were professionally organized, and We were so impressed with the facilities, service, and the welcoming nature of the staff.

I just wanted to write you a note and say thank you for everything you did to help us with our trip to Turkey

The trip was absolutely amazing and perfect and was the best 12 days of my life so far!

So thank you so much again, you and your team are amazing and we hope to work with you again in the future. will need your services again :)

I hope you have a great Friday

best travel advisor
june has been our travel agent for almost 14 years. She has booked us middle East tours , Greece Tours ,Turkey tours and more, She is knowledgeable, friendly, and ever so responsive. She is quick to offer suggestions for every trip whether it be for our hotel selection, liquor package or whether we would get a better deal by booking our own air. She is quick to explain the details of charges and helps us through the never-ending stream of paper. she worked an issue diligently she is hard worker and i can reach her every time and every trip she gives us another Suprise like upgrade our rooms, or fruit baskets with champagne My husband and I are her #1 fans. Thank you, June, see you next trip
