Deciding to visit Portugal is the easy part of trip planning
Working out which destinations and activities you can realistically fit into the time you have, plus the related logistics, is more of a challenge, not to mention time-consuming.
Creating your ideal Portugal itinerary doesn’t have to be stressful
There’s an easy way to avoid feeling overwhelmed with options, uncertain about your choices or frustrated at not being able to find the information you need.
Let me help you plan a trip that you will look forward to and treasure
As someone with in depth knowledge of and love for Portugal, plus over 20 years of trip planning experience, I can relieve the stress and burden of working on your ideal Portugal itinerary in many ways.
Option 1: Tailor-Made Portugal Itinerary Design
Want a unique, luxury experience but don’t have the time or inclination to create it yourself? Tell me what you’re looking for then leave the research and planning to me.
I will design a unique, itinerary for you that takes into account your preferences and travel style.
Once you’re happy with the plan, my local partner travel agency will take care of all the reservations and payments for you.
“We wanted to provide feedback and thank-you for our wonderful adventure. All the arrangements were great and exceeded our expectations. I am frugal and had intended to travel for minimal costs, on our own, which was original plan for the 2020 trip that was postponed. With your help and encouragement from Anita, we accepted the 2022 itinerary and am greatly appreciative of its depth of experiences. We would not have made the same decisions on our own and we (I) have learned a valuable travel lesson. The most important are to work with a local travel company whenever possible. Thank you for creating such a wonderful and educational itinerary for us – it was a pleasure doing business with you.”

“Our 30 day drip to Portugal was fantastic; even the weather cooperated. We really appreciate how patient you and your staff were in answering all of our questions and providing multiple itinerary choices until we arrived at the final version. The accommodations and tours you recommended were all excellent. We particularly enjoyed the food tours and the very out of the ordinary cooking classes. The Trip Plans app was extremely helpful on a daily basis, especially with the messages feature. You provided one very much appreciated service that we have never experienced from any other Itinerary Design Service, i.e. every few days you messaged us asking how we were doing, and if you could provide any additional help. We highly recommend your services.”

Option 2: Quick Query Travel Consultation
If you are happy to do the bulk of the research but need insider advice and recommendations to help you make decisions about your Portugal itinerary, talk to me.
My Quick Query travel consultations by Zoom offer you the chance to discuss your plans and get my honest, informed opinion and personalised recommendations.
This option is ideal for those who prefer to make their own travel reservations, or for those whose budget doesn’t stretch to the fully managed Custom Itinerary Design service (Option 1).
“Just a quick note to let you know how much my husband and I enjoyed our trip to Portugal last October. Just loved it! Your consultation was invaluable. Had I talked to you earlier, I could have saved so much research time… Thank you again for being our advisor. It made so much sense to rely on your knowledge of the areas.”
