When to go to Portugal
Portugal is a year-round destination, with spring and autumn offering the best balance of warm weather, fewer crowds and ideal conditions for exploring Lisbon, Porto, the Douro Valley and the Algarve. Summer is best for coastal stays and beach time, while winter is quieter and well suited to city breaks, food, wine and cultural travel.

What our customers say
"Our African adventure in Feb. 2025 was beautifully planned and orchestrated by Wayfairer. [...] We cannot thank the team at Wayfairer enough for bringing this bucket list trip of a lifetime to fruition for us. "
"My wife and I agreed that our holiday in Cambodia was without doubt the best we have ever had. [...] It was the absolute brilliance of the staff of the company at every level [...] and when due to a travel delay, caused by extreme weather, rearranging and supporting us in a way that actually enhanced our holiday!"
"We have planned a leopard searching safari, we received the most accurate indications to find them. [...] We stayed in Kafunta and Three Rivers in South Luangwa National Park in Zambia, then moved to Umkumbe and Kambaku in South Africa. All this was seamless, made easy for a couple 60+."
"We just got back from a 2 week trip to Japan. From our arrival to our departure, everything was fantastic! [...] The itinerary was great and having guides for most of our excursions made everything so much more enriching. [...] If they could figure out a way to instantly cure jet lag, they’d get a sixth star."
"We've just returned from a six night safari in Samburu National Park and Ol Pojeta Conservancy. [...] The before and aftercare was also very thorough and Aggie and Toon were so friendly. [...] It was worth every penny we paid."
