For those that have taken the Rick Steves Portugal tour -- what hotels did you stay at in Lisbon and Porto , and where did you stay (town and hotel ) in the Douro Valley? (it only says Douro Valley). Thanks.
I have also read a few reviews that stated that there are far too many church visits on this tour ... ?any thoughts?
For anyone that has travelled, would you go in Spring or Fall (could be anywhere from March, April, maybe into May ... or late September, October, etc.). Want to avoid crowds a little bit.
Thanks for any info!!!
