In late September, my husband, daughter, son-in-law, and I are going to Lisbon, Seville, and London. We have rented apartments in all these cities and are presently trying to decide on private tours of these areas.

We are spending 5 days in Lisbon. Our choices are a full- day tour of Porto, a tour of Vilamoura, Faro, and Tavira, or a tour of Silves, Lagos and Sagres. We plan to take two of these tours. Does anyone have any experience in these areas? We want to know which ones would be the most interesting ones for people who have never been to Portugal.

I am a retired high school world history teacher and love traveling in Europe. My husband is also retired and has problems walking long distances. My daughter and her husband both work for a major metropolitan newspaper and enjoy wine tasting and learning about new areas. We have been traveling to Europe together for the last several years.
