Private Tours and Tour Guides of Portugal
Here is a list of Tour guides and private tour companies in Portugal that we have either used or have been recommended many times.
Dublin, Ireland itinerary
This is the Itinerary we recommend for a 4 day trip to Dublin. It also comes with a page of links for tours and tickets and other suggestions.
Algarve Itinerary
Itinerary for 7 Days in the Algarve. Start in Lisbon or Faro.
Travel Essentials
Below is a list of items we ALWAYS take with us, whether it be a long trip or just a road trip. Click the pictures to lead you to Amazon links.
Liquid Bags
We use these travel bags for all of our liquids. They are sturdy and just the right size to fit into a backpack or a purse.
Battery Pack
We use this battery pack because it can charge two phones without any problem and comes with its own cords attached.
Windproof Umbrella
This is probably the best umbrella we have ever owned. It is great in high winds–it doesn’t break and is small enough for our bags and suitcases. HIGHLY Recommend.
Pac Safe Bags
LOVE Pacsafe bags! This is similar to the one I use every day. It can lock down, and the strap can be locked around a chair. Additionally, I can carry a lot in here.
Venture Pal Backpack
I started using these about 10 years ago and still love them! They are foldable backpacks so you can have an extra bag for purchases, hauling extra clothes on day trips, or that extra bag you may need for your souvenirs!
Travelon Crossbody Bag
Both Beth and I have used this bag and have recommended it to others, too! It is big, and there is a mini version also.
Travel pro Luggage–soft
This bag can hold about a week’s worth of clothes and it and has the correct dimensions for European travel. It is expandable also, but be careful how big you make it because many European budget airlines are strict on sizes. But in America, you are golden!
Travel Pro Luggage–Hard cover
We also travel with a hard cover suitcase just in case we need to check one with liquids such as wine and olive oil!
European Adapter
We like this adapter because it has 2 USB and one USC charger for our iPhones. This one works all over Europe.
UK and Ireland Adapter
This one is the same for the UK and Ireland.
