At Portugal Premium Tours, we think the best way to grasp a journey is through the stories of those who experienced it. We recently chatted with Nir Amran, one of our international visitors, about his trip across Portugal with us. His story highlights unforgettable scenery, genuine local cuisine, and heartfelt connections; his journey perfectly reflects what makes Portugal such a truly unique destination.
How did you discover Portugal Premium Tours?
Nir Amran: “Portugal Premium Tours was recommended to me by representatives from the Portugal Tourism Office during an international tourism convention in Tel Aviv, Israel, in February 2013. What immediately stood out was the professionalism of the recommendation, combined with the quality and detail of your website. It gave us confidence from the very beginning.”
What made you want to visit Portugal?
Nir Amran: “Portugal is becoming an increasingly attractive destination for Israeli travelers. The country offers an incredible combination of history, Jewish heritage, gastronomy, wines, music, landscapes, and warm hospitality. It feels authentic and welcoming, while still offering culture, sophistication, and diversity. I truly believe Portugal will continue growing as a destination for international travelers.”
Why did you choose to travel with Portugal Premium Tours?
Nir Amran: “Without hesitation: service and professionalism. From our very first contact, the communication was always fast, clear, and extremely attentive. Every question was answered carefully and professionally, which created an immediate sense of trust. The slogan “Thinking of You” genuinely reflected the experience we had throughout the entire process. We felt we were in very good hands from the beginning.”

Which experiences stood out the most during your journey?
Nir Amran: “It is honestly difficult to choose because the entire trip felt special. However, a few moments truly stayed with me:
- The private sailing experience in Arrábida with barbecue lunch onboard
- The breathtaking scenery of Peneda-Gerês National Park
- the wonderful regional restaurants and local wines
- the carefully selected hotels throughout the journey
But above all, our guide Francisco made the experience unforgettable. His knowledge, warmth, flexibility, and ability to create a personal connection with everyone in the group transformed the trip into something much deeper than tourism.”
