Our journey began in 1997 when our founder, Gregory, moved from the United States to Lisbon, a dream that became reality shortly when first visiting Portugal soon after after working at the Barcelona Olympic Games. His arrival coincided with a landmark year for the city—the 1998 World’s Fair (Expo ’98)—an event that showcased Portugal’s vibrant culture to the world and cemented Gregory’s lifelong passion for his new home.
Refining the Craft: Gregory’s professional foundation was built at the Lisbon Four Seasons Hotel. There, he mastered the art of high-end hospitality, curating authentic and exclusive experiences for the world’s most discerning travelers.
The Birth of a Vision: In the early 2000s, Gregory transformed this expertise into a dedicated tour company. Driven by the philosophy that travel should be as unique as the traveler, he began operating private, bespoke experiences that went far beyond the standard guidebook.
Iberian Pioneers: Through the feedback of our clients we realized that tailor made journeys were in demand in Spain and began started planning trips to ts fascinating neighbor of Spain. We now provide integrated services across the entire Iberian Peninsula including the islands of the Azores, Madeira and Canary to Ibiza, Mallorca and Minorca.
Our founding principles remain the same in 2026; we give our full attention to your vacation planning and tours in Portugal and Spain and are dedicated to ensuring seamless travel planning that’s a collaborative effort between ourselves and you, the traveler. We pride ourselves on the levels of communications we provide during all phases of working with travelers who have visited Portugal and Spain to ensure the best possible experiences.
Our planning process is collaborative. During our initial consultation, we take the time to understand what you want to experience and provide recommendations based on your interests, preferences, and travel goals. From destinations and accommodations to private tours and transportation, every recommendation is selected to create a journey that fits you—not a predetermined itinerary.
Many travelers begin with only a few ideas. As we develop your trip together, we introduce destinations, experiences, and routing options that align with your interests, giving you a broader understanding of what’s possible before your plans are finalized.
Complete our inquiry form and share your travel dates, destinations of interest, group size, and the type of trip you'd like to take.
We'll schedule a phone or online consultation to discuss your travel goals and recommend destinations, accommodations, private tours, and experiences that match your interests.
After our consultation, we begin designing the first version of your personalized itinerary based on everything we've discussed. We'll continue refining the itinerary together until it reflects your travel goals and preferences.
Once your itinerary is approved and all travel services have been paid in full, we finalize your reservations and prepare your travel documents. Hotel reservations are made in your name, and you'll receive contact information for your accommodations, private guides, transportation providers, and other booked services.
To keep everything organized and easily accessible while you travel, we provide a dedicated Google Drive or Dropbox folder containing your itinerary, reservation confirmations, travel documents, and other essential information. We also use online maps and other digital tools to share locations, meeting points, directions, and helpful travel information, making it easy to access everything before and during your trip.
