Eating, Food & Dietary Requirements (Portugal)

Portugal is home to an incredibly rich food and wine history. All meals (excluding drinks) are included in our fully inclusive group tours from dinner on the day of your group’s arrival until breakfast on your day of departure.

Fresh food with an emphasis on using the best produce, think rustic seafood stews, hearty marinated pork sandwiches, piri-piri chicken and of course the famous custard tart, Patel de Nata.

Food allergies/dietary requests

Any food allergies and dietary requests MUST be specified at the time of booking and should be reiterated to the National Escort/Guide when you meet them. They will do their utmost to cater for any special requests, such as vegetarian meals or food to be avoided in case of allergies.

Please be aware that on some days where a lot of sights are covered, dinner times may be early (around 5.30pm) and your tour group may head directly to the restaurant after sightseeing.
Additionally, long driving distances or flight times, for example, may delay/alter your mealtime.

Whilst travelling away from major cities, it is highly recommended that those passengers with food intolerances take additional food items with them as not all dietary requests will be met due to the limited foods available.

Water

We always recommend bottled water as a first option when in a foreign country. Some hotels provide free bottled water in your room. Bottled drinking water, soft drinks and beer are widely available and affordable.
