Reflected on Lisbon’s sunbaked white cobble streets, timeless azulejo tiles adorn the walls, Across the Tagus River, we can almost hear the Andalusian Flamenco artist gracefully singing and dancing, When the time comes, we will marvel at the Sagrada Família, imagined by Gaudí’s immortal soul, And let our childhood dreams find their echo on Picasso’s artwork, So much tradition and talent in one place, and yet life here seems so easy and leisurely paced, At every step, a bit of romance, passion, and art, so easy to fall for, so hard to forget.

We postponed going to Portugal & Spain for 3 years due to Covid but we are delighted we finally did it and especially with Supera. We were well taken care of and our tour guide Manu was exceptional. He made us feel safe, is very caring and was a kind & wonderful person. He's from Portugal, lives in Taiwan, speaks 7 languages fluently. Our tour had only 14 people which allowed us to get to know each other well. The hotels & meals were exceptional and the various local sites tours were at a very nice pace. This is my 3rd tour with Supera and we are going to Japan next month with Supera as well.
My parents and I are just coming off of our 14-day Portugal and Spain tour, which was our first tour with Supera, and it was an incredibly memorable trip from start to finish. Our itinerary was well-thought-out, allowing us to see the highlights of each area that we visited to make the most of our time in both countries. Because Supera specializes in site destinations, you are always on the go to travel from place to place, but our tour was well-paced such that we were given enough time in each site in order to experience everything that it had to offer before moving to the next destination. There were ample intervals of rest in each day, whether due to traveling from town to town, or simply returning to our hotel to take a break. Speaking of hotels, each one that Supera had prepared for us during our tour was classy, comfortable, and beautiful in its own ways. Furthermore, the restaurants that we went to were fantastic - we visited a wide array of eating establishments from local cafés to fine dining institutions, and our special tour menus were considerately designed to pick out dishes that were representative of each region that we were in. And our site destinations were just as diverse/
Our tour guide Manu was the best tour guide that I've ever had that he would be hard to surpass. He was kind, soft-spoken, attentive, considerate, informative, and made sure that all of us tour members were happy and taken care of throughout our entire trip. He also speaks Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Mandarin Chinese in addition to English, so clearly he can lead tours in many different areas of the world. If it were even an option, I would gladly choose him as my tour guide for any tour with Supera. And I can say that after this unforgettable trip, Supera definitely lives up to their word of providing quality in all areas, so I will definitely be looking to book future tours with them!
