coach tours in Portugal

[hehem]

what are coach tours like in Portugal? has anyone done one before and are they worth it? by the way..where are good places for sightseeing landmarks?

Most definitely! A coach tour is an excellent way to get around and see all the attractions in the city so I would suggest booking one, particularly in Oporto. If you book a full day sightseeing tour, you'll obviously get to see a fair more of attractions than on a half day, but that's up to you.

To give you an idea, a typical tour of Oporto includes a visit to the old stock exchange, the Sao Francisco church and the Ribeira Quarter, which borders the Douro River offering a fantastic view. By the way, a couch tour here normally includes a wine taste tour, which is another advantage of booking a couch tour.

I did the Marion Shrines Tour of Europe and would highly recommend it. It's a great way to see Portugal, Spain & France without having to arrange separate trips. Saying this, I should warn you you that this coach tour is quite hectic with a lot of walking. If you prefer a more leisurely style of bus tour, this may not be for you.
