Our Story
I’m Gregory, founder of Spain and Portugal Vacations and Discover Portugal Travel.
Spain and Vacations was originally called Discover Portugal Travel, which I started 25 years ago, shortly after arriving in Portugal as an American expat several years before the 1998 Lisbon World’s Expo and when some of my most rewarding personal and professional relationships in Portugal were forged that continue being part of my life up to the present day.
The vision was the same then as now; to provide sophisticated, Bespoke travel experiences fo travelers that eschewed the idea of joining public tour groups and who wanted their travel experiences arranged by an expert who intimately knows the countries where they arrange tours, and not from what they have read on the internet.
I do not work alone and owe huge gratitude to travel professionals throughout Portugal and Spain that help make your trips run smoothly. In many instances these are people I’ve worked with for decades and all of them are passionate about Portugal and Spain and go above and beyond to provide you the highest levels of attention.
If you’re seeking a unique experience beyond standard large-group tours, you’re in the right place. We excel at finding the most exceptional destinations and experiences for your trip, ensuring a picture perfect trip. I’ve been doing this for more than two decades, long before “private tours” became a trend in the travel industry which makes me the perfect person to design your bespoke vacation to Portugal and Spain that reflects your style of travel.
