Good to know

Questions, answered

Are the journeys private?

Yes. Every journey is private, for you and your companions only, with your own guide and driver. There are no shared groups and no fixed departure dates.

Can a journey be changed?

Each journey is a starting point, not a fixed tour. Days can be added, removed, slowed down or rearranged around your interests, your pace and the season.

How many nights do I need?

Our signature journeys run from a few nights to about a week. Many travellers combine two regions in five or six nights, which leaves time for long lunches and quiet afternoons.

When should I travel?

Spring and autumn are the most rewarding seasons for most journeys. Coastal and lake journeys also suit summer, and inland journeys are calm and beautiful in winter.

Where do the journeys begin?

Every journey begins and ends at Lisbon Airport. The nearest regions are about an hour away, and the furthest about two and a half hours.

How do I reserve a journey?

Send an enquiry with your dates and the journey that interests you. Nothing is booked by sending it. A member of the Portugal Magik team will reply personally to shape the details with you.
