Our 1st Family Vacation in Portugal: Lisbon & The Silver Coast

 

The beaches of the Silver Coast are amazing. Can´t say enough good things. Comporta is the Hamptons on the come-up. We visited so many places... Nazare, Peniche, and Ericeria are all special. Sintra and Cascais are as advertised. Sintra has some incredible castles. The food and the culture of the towns really stand out.

I thought (Tiernan) provided us with a top-notch A-level service. Our experience was wonderful. We booked too many tours, so we revised the schedule on the fly. At least a 10-day trip is a must. Great for people watching over a vinho verde with the wife while the kid sleep, but not a must-see.

The travel experience: Lodging by City/Town: I thought all the lodging we stayed in were excellent. Each had their different vibes, charm, and appeal. We are a family of 3 with a young daughter. I thought the prep work done to have experiences specifically for her worked out well. This was our favorite tour: In Lisboa Tuk-Tuk: Tomas-(Our driver/guide) (College student, mid to late 20s, he did a great job) We highly recommend (Tiernan) for your vacation planning needs. Be specific, it will help you shape your experience. Lots of communication upfront before you travel, helps you hone in the experience you want.

The restaurants are wonderful. The food is amazing in PT. Next time we will go north to Porto, Braga, and the like along with the two places we love the most in the country... so far... Ericeria & Cascais.
