Portugal Premium Tours (PPT): How did you find Portugal Premium Tours?
Nir Amran (Nir): Portugal Premium Tours was recommended to me by representatives of the Portugal Tourism Office, while visiting the international tourism convention in Tel-Aviv, Israel, on February 2013. The high support was back-uped with a thorough and updated internet site, of your company.
PPT: What was the main reason which led you to visit Portugal?
Nir: Portugal is a rising destination for people from the Holy Land, that usually have no option of direct flights from TLV to Lisbon, But this country shows to be very interesting because of it’s heritage, the rich Jewish history and it’s warm and hosting people, wines, foods, music and folklor. Being relatively close by crossing the Mediterranean, Portugal will definitely take a larger volume in Israelis out-bounding travels.
PPT: Which were the main reasons which led you to take a tour with us?
Nir: Service and responsibility – there’s no question about it. Since first contacts, your managers led the correspondence by emails in very timely, professionally and responsible manners – which let us rely on your slogan: “Thinking of You”. There wasn’t left any question or doubt which was not addressed to the full clear explanation and understanding. It really gives a feeling of trust that we are in ‘good hands’ – which proved itself right.
PPT: Considering activities/experiences/sightseeing, what did you like the most during your tour in Portugal?
Nir: It is very hard to choose – because all of the experiences were so amazing and special, but to name a few, I would mention the Arrabida Sailing with on-board barbequed lunch, the Peneda-Geres nature reserve with the exquisite outdoor picnic, the great selection of regional restaurants with local dishes and delicate wines, the successful selection of high-level hotels and so on – but above all, our excellent guide, Francisco, who literally made this trip a full, complete and whole experience – with his knowledge, responsiveness, and perfect ability to create warm and personal atmosphere with everyone in the group.
PPT: What advice would you give to others who wish to visit Portugal?
Nir: The first and best advice I could possibly give is to travel with Portugal Premium Tours – to address you with their interests and some information about the group [age, capabilities, special interests, etc.], and let PPT do the rest. The professional work with the attention to details that your representatives show – are second to none.
PPT: Can you please describe this experience in one sentence?
Nir: The Portugal visit led by PPT was a great experience which I cannot compare to others in the past, and will never be forgotten – made us feel we not only were lucky to have you as guides, but as new good friends for the future as well.
PPT: If you consider returning to Portugal, would you take another tour with Portugal Premium Tours?
Nir: Definitely yes! Thank you again for everything you did to satisfy our needs as a group, and really hope to meet again in the earliest possible future.
