Baroque route in Portugal

7-day tour departing from Porto

Our tour takes us through an area in the northwest of Portugal that is small in size but rich in its variety of landscapes – from the Atlantic coast up to the green Minho and down to the Douro valley.

Here, impressive monuments carved from local granite, as well as interiors in gilded woodwork and ornamental tiles, are among the most singular manifestations of Portuguese art.

In the footsteps of Portugal`s Secret Jews

6-day tour departing from Lisbon

The Jewish presence in Iberia has existed long before Portugal itself became a country. The contribution of Portuguese Jews to the arts, philosophy, commerce and sciences helped create the rich cultural heritage of this nation.

Our unique tour focuses on places of Jewish interest, as well as the fascinating people who continue to contribute to Portuguese society. These descendants of the Inquisition, often referred to as Marranos, are now known as the B’nai Anusim (Children of Oppression). Forced to convert during those awful days, many secretly, and over the centuries, retained their precious Jewish practices, as well as pride in their true heritage.
Timeless landscape, well preserved heritage, hotels with character and a rare, inimitable Jewish experience will be the highlights of this tour.

Lisbon photographic experience

Anyone arriving in Lisbon for the first time is always surprised by the singular quality of the city’s light: clear, crystalline and pure, the light of Lisbon warmly defines the contours of a unique city.

The silver light reflected from the broad river Tagus, the glowing light of dusk, the brilliant light of dawn or the light spread across the whole city when seen from out on the water – these are the extraordinary moments that we will set out to capture during our tour of this luminous city, all as seen through the eyes of a professional photographer.
