Oporto & the North

We had an amazing trip to Portugal. Filomena’s planning allowed us to enjoy a wonderful and stress-free holiday. She and Jorge even picked us up from & dropped us off at the airport. We enjoyed all of the activities Filomena planned. The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable. Filomena’s restaurant recommendations were great, too! Our drivers, Fernando and Vera, were friendly and helpful. Thank you again, Filomena! We can’t wait to come back!

We got a fantastic service from the minute we landed in Porto airport! We were there for 13 days! Filomena made as an outstanding itinerary especially for us from Porto to Lisbon , including our hotels and transportation! Filomena and Jorge was very accommodating to our in between requests and changes! We were picked up and made our way through Portugal by very informative and entertaining tour guides , Ricardo, Teresa, Walter, Fernando, Martha and John ! We loved every one of them ! They made our visit remarkable! Filomena and Jorge dropped as off at airport and went out of their way to bring our luggage and checked us at the airline counter ! They made sure our trip back home is great as our time in Portugal! We were 2 couples and recommend Experience Portugal Travel 100%!

Just got back from the most amazing trip to Portugal, all thanks to Filomena and her incredible team at Experience Portugal Travel! 💫 From personalized recommendations to hidden gems we’d never have found on our own, everything was perfectly planned and surprisingly affordable. If you're thinking about Portugal—don’t do it without them. Truly unforgettable! ✨ #PortugalTravel #TravelExperts #FilomenaKnowsBest #ExperincePortugalTravel

I could not recommend Filomena and her team more! The two week trip was very well planned and paced. The hotels were top notch and their service with transfers and tours was exceptional. I have never been delivered to the security area before! We have traveled Europe many times under every system you can think of. Never had a more seamless and delightful experience. Bravo all the crew. Cost? Cheaper than a stupid cruise. Best to all our new Portuguese friends.

Filomena Bras and her team of guides and drivers provided us with a wonderful experience and tour of Portugal. Of the three companies that I received tour proposals from, Experience Portugal Travel and Filomena provided the itinerary that best matched what we wanted to see and do. Once we began our tour, it exceeded our expectations. Each day and activities were distinct and very enjoyable in different ways. The very thoughtful and enthusiastic support of her team made the difference, made our trip special. Vera, George, Bruno and Valter all clearly cared about our enjoyment, safety and happiness with our touring – they each went above and beyond the call of duty. We enjoyed our conversations, they answered our many questions, they were very knowledgeable, and accurate (I did fact check some of the information). Their advice and recommendations for dining were excellent; we enjoyed many delicious classic Portuguese dishes. By the end of our time with them, we felt more like friends than clients. I have already highly recommended Filomena Bras to friends who are considering a visit to Portugal next year. We have traveled extensively, to over 55 countries, enjoyed many great experiences. This trip was among the best of our trips.

Working with Filomena to plan our trip was so easy and fun. Meeting Filomena and George while in Portugal was a special treat. We spent 2 weeks traveling around the country with a terrific itinerary crafted by Filomena. We had plenty of activities (including kayaking in Algarve) and downtime to explore each area on our own. We were two couple traveling together, and Filomena was able to accommodate our differing approaches. We had a seamless, amazing and beautiful trip. Thank you Filomena & George!!!

My husband and I had a Douro river cruise out of Porto already booked and we needed assistance with a pre-tour and post cruise hotel and transports. After reaching out to Filomena we were able to arrange an amazing adventure in Lisbon and Sintra prior to heading to Porto to catch our cruise. It was very late notice on our part and Filomena really saved our trip! She was a dream to work with! Her communication was timely and clear. We were confident to be in good hands. She booked our airport transfer in Lisbon and our post cruise transportation, land hotels, tours, and dinner reservations at a traditional Fado House for dinner. The whole experience was top notch. The accommodations were very nice and perfectly located for us to explore shops and restaraunts in our downtime. We loved our guide Fernando , he was informative and flexible with our itinerary. He really wanted to make sure we had a good time and experienced what we wanted to on our trip. He was also our driver and guide to Porto with stops along the way for sightseeing. We really enjoyed getting to know him. Fernando also gave some great restaurant recommendations! We enjoyed spending our days discovering this beautiful country. The only downfall was that we couldn't stay longer. We will definitely return soon! Muito obrigada to Filomena, George, and Fernando ~ you are the best! <3

My husband and I were lucky enough to have found Filomena and her company. She along with Her amazing tour guides Marta and Valter gave us the most amazing experience in Portugal that I know we would not have had without their guidance. I wanted to make sure we had the typical tourist attractions and some that were not typical. Filomena planned a perfect trip from Lisbon to Porto for us. Filomena was always there a text or call away for any questions and was the most amazing host. Marta and Valter were Wonderful guides, they were very knowledgeable on the country and the places they took us to. It was so nice going into little cafes, and special places that they wanted us to see, that we would never had gone to on our own. We have traveled all over the world and Filomena and her crew are top notch!!

My husband and I spent 9 days in Portugal. Filomena Bras, the owner of Experience Portugal did a fabulous job to help plan this trip. She listened to all our needs and made some excellent suggestions. Filomena provided us with wonderful tour guides. (Valter, Vera and Fernando). We had a wonderful time and loved our trip.

Filomena n George we're wonderful. They went way over my expectations in their level of service. One day I was going to be late for a connection on my train and they met me at the station so I didn't miss my train. Can't say enough how excellent their service is
