LUXURY HOLIDAYS & TOURS PORTUGAL

Beautiful Coastlines & Prestigious Golf Courses

Portugal, a country whose attractions stretch far beyond the stunning coastline and prestigious golf resorts of the Algarve. This is a land of culturally rich cities, beautifully rustic vineyards, colourful castles and medieval towns that haven’t changed for centuries.

You could start by immersing yourself in the wonderful and intimate city of Lisbon with its traditional tiled buildings, melancholy Fado music, fabulous seafood restaurants and vivacious café culture. The cobbled, maze-like lanes of the old Alfama neighbourhood are a joy to explore, and you can even hop on the historic no. 28 tram to discover the 11th century São Jorge Castle. For the best hilltop vistas, the Miradouro da Graça terrace commands a fine panorama across Lisbon’s rooftops and River Tagus beyond.

We can also introduce you to the UNESCO-listed centre and port wine cellars of Porto, Portugal’s handsome coastal city on the banks of the Douro, and the charms of the surrounding countryside with its sprawling vineyards and olive groves. You’ll also want to make time for the whimsical, pastel-coloured palaces of Sintra, the Roman ruins of Braga and the well-preserved medieval architecture of Guimaraes.

And no visit would be complete without hopping over to Madeira to enjoy its sub-tropical gardens, pebbly beaches and spectacular walks along the levadas. With afternoon tea on the terrace at Belmond Reid’s Palace proving to be a fine way of relaxing and gathering yourself for the evening ahead.

Testimonial 5
“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”
Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.
Testimonal 7
“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”
From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Testimonal 14
“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”
Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. The Ultimate Travel Company gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional – and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people – not to mention the fantastic curry – it was a truly superb holiday. “Ultimate” really is “The Ultimate Travel Company”!
