Overview

The best of Portugal is usually between the towns, and this 8-night self-drive is built to find it. You get the car, a mapped scenic route through Lisbon · Porto · Sintra, and every night booked ahead — so Lisbon old town & historic trams and Sintra palaces — Pena & Quinta happen on your schedule, with the detours left deliberately open.

Apr – Oct is the sweet spot for Portugal (Europe), and we plan departures from Surat around it — flights via Mumbai or Ahmedabad, 3★ / 4★ en route hotels locked in writing, and this itinerary from ₹1,31,999 per person on twin sharing.

Explera's Surat desk runs the whole journey end to end — flights, stays, transfers, guided sightseeing, Portugal visa assistance and insurance — with a written day-by-day plan before you pay and a human on call 24/7 while you travel. Every departure is fully customisable to your dates, budget and travellers.

★★★★★
Our first trip abroad to Lisbon was better than the photos. The team suggested the perfect hotels and the 9-day route was neither rushed nor lazy. Priced fairly with no surprises at the end.

We compared a few agents for our Lisbon package and Explera gave the clearest quote with proper inclusions. Transfers were always on time and the on-trip WhatsApp support answered within minutes.

Went for our first trip abroad and everything from the Lisbon itinerary to the return was handled with care. The hotels were exactly the category promised. Will book our next trip with them too.
