# Wanderlust Tours _Boutique journeys across Portugal and Andalusia_ --- **Founded** 2014 **Based in** Lisbon, Portugal **Office** Rua das Flores 88, 1200-194 Lisbon **Contact** hello@wanderlusttours.example · +351 21 000 0000 We're a small team of twelve, running a small number of trips. Every itinerary in this catalogue is one we walk ourselves — at least once a year, and usually more. --- ## How our tours work We've built the company around a simple idea: that the best way to see a place is to slow down inside it. Our groups are small, our pace is unhurried, and our guides live in the regions they show you. **Group sizes.** Maximum of 12 travellers per tour. Some departures fill at 8. **What's included.** Accommodation in characterful three- and four-star hotels, all guided activities, transport between trip locations, and most meals — typically breakfast every day, plus three to four dinners per week with local wine. **What's not included.** Flights to and from your starting city, travel insurance (required — see Booking Policies), personal expenses, optional excursions, and lunches on free days. **Pace and difficulty.** Each package is rated 1 to 3: - **Level 1** — gentle. Mostly city walking and short transfers. Suitable for most travellers. - **Level 2** — moderate. Some longer days, occasional uneven terrain, two to four hours of walking on active days. - **Level 3** — active. Daily hikes, real elevation, weather you'll feel. **Ages.** Most tours are 12+. Family-specific tours are noted in the package details. We don't currently run dedicated youth or solo-only departures. **Solo travellers.** Welcome on every tour. A single supplement applies for private rooms — see each package for the amount. We don't pair strangers into shared rooms. --- ## What we can help you with This catalogue, and the assistant on our website, can help you with: - Information about our tour packages — itineraries, what's included, pricing, group sizes - Departure dates and availability windows - Questions about the destinations we cover (Portugal and southern Spain) - Our policies — bookings, cancellations, deposits, group rates - General questions about travelling with us ## What we can't help you with directly - **We don't book flights.** You'll arrange your own travel to the trip's starting city. We're happy to suggest arrival timing. - **We can't process payments through chat.** Booking happens by email or phone, with a member of our team. - **We can't guarantee visa eligibility.** That depends on your nationality and current rules — please check with your consulate. - **We don't have live weather or disruption updates.** For current conditions on your trip dates, write to us directly. - **We don't offer instant private-itinerary customisation.** Bespoke trips are designed by hand by our team — please get in touch and we'll start a conversation. If you're asking about something outside the above, our team is happy to help: hello@wanderlusttours.example or +351 21 000 0000. --- ## The tours We run seven core itineraries across four categories.

This is a slow, deeply seasonal trip built around four wineries and the towns between them. ![Vineyard rows at sunset in the Alentejo](https://files.jhunkoo.ai/demo/wanderlust-tours/images/Vineyard%20rows%20at%20sunset%20in%20the%20Alentejo.jpg) **Day by day** - **Day 1** — Pickup from Lisbon.
