The tour itself was PERFECT in terms of balancing driving time, stops, explanations, guided walks & incorporating free time at each stop to stroll & explore each town at our own pace. Oh, most importantly, the group was small & manageable; wasting little time getting on or off the bus. The bus was for 20+ persons & we were 8. Felt like stretch-out first class seats (compared with an all day tour the previous day with Living Tours where the bus was FULL & time wasted getting on & off; although that tour was great as well. PExcellent communication with Buendia Tours. My only suggestion is to provide a photograph of the point of departure because there are TWO possible locations for the description provided. In the alternative, just say it’s the exit by the elevator (only one possibility). “Perfect” is the word I’d use to describe this hotel. NEW (smells new), stunning view of City Hall across the street, adjacent to two metro stations (one w direct airport access), varied & beautifully -presented breakfast, cozy bar serving Port & Portuguese wines (and free distilled water for guests), compact but beautifully designed lobby & chic well-lit corridors, fair price (book early) & a short Uber ride to Campahna Station (train to/from Lisbon). From the hotel, you can walk to many tourist sites & land tour meeting points. Fortunately, UBER & BOLT! operate in Oporto & are reasonably priced. I usually walked downhill but requested a ride share for my return or took the (new, clean, modern & safe) metro. The hotel has a staff of well-groomed, polite, professional, energetic & helpful Portuguese & Brazilian young people who together made my stay PERFECT. I especially commend Edoardo who handled a seamless (and very pleasant) check-in & David who, working with Edoardo as a team, took my luggage to my room, showed me how to operate all the room gadgets & made sure I always had (free) bottled water in my room. David also kept the lobby tidy &, if that was not enough, David serves as the bartender & maintains the free distilled water jug & clean glasses for guests. Every member of the staff that interact with guests spoke English well. The room was massive; looked & felt brand new. Spectacular firm bed & high quality bedding & towels, terry cloth cotton robes, slippers, large rain shower (no tub) with excellent water pressure, two huge TV’s with programming in many languages, high-end toiletries, couch & lounge chairs, writing desk, two a/c controls (for bedroom & sitting room), and a wide Juliette balcony overlooking the City Hall & main square in Aliados. Yes, spoil yourself & reserve a suite (slightly more than a regular room but worth it). Many restaurants & cafes nearby; walking tours assemble on the square across from the hotel. I had a hamburger & fries one night at the hotel restaurant. The burger was large but excessively salty (I left half). In addition, the burger was not cooked through. The waiter should ask the guest for their preference i
