Small Group Private Journeys
Gather your closest friends and family for an unforgettable journey through Portugal, where every detail is considered and every mile is a memory in the making. Our Small Group Private Journeys are designed for those celebrating a milestone birthday, an anniversary, or simply seeking an exclusive escape with their most cherished companions. Imagine exploring the historic streets of Lisbon, savoring the wines of the Douro Valley, or relaxing on the sun-drenched beaches of the Algarve, all from the comfort of your private Mercedes-Benz vehicle.
Forget the complexities of coordinating multiple cars, booking separate accommodations, or navigating unfamiliar roads. With Portugal Magik, one Mercedes vehicle, one professional driver, and one shared, curated itinerary mean seamless travel and shared experiences. Our fleet, including the spacious V-Class and the larger Sprinter for groups up to 19 passengers, ensures everyone travels together in comfort and style. From the moment you arrive, your focus remains on enjoying Portugal's rich culture, stunning landscapes, and exquisite cuisine, while we handle all the logistics.
These journeys typically span seven to fourteen days, allowing ample time to immerse yourselves in the diverse beauty of Portugal. Whether your group dreams of exploring the vibrant capital of Lisbon, with its iconic Tram 28 and panoramic views from Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, or venturing to the serene Alentejo region to discover its cork oak forests and ancient dolmens, our itineraries are tailored to your group's interests. We blend iconic landmarks with hidden gems, ensuring a truly unique and enriching experience for everyone.

Local detail
Our Small Group Journeys often feature a deep dive into specific regions, allowing your group to truly connect with the local culture. For instance, a journey through the Douro Valley might include a visit to a family-owned quinta, such as Quinta do Pôpa, offering private tastings of their acclaimed Port wines and panoramic views of the terraced vineyards. In the Alentejo, we can arrange a visit to Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage site, to explore its Roman Temple and Chapel of Bones, followed by a traditional Alentejano lunch featuring dishes like 'Açorda à Alentejana' in a charming local restaurant.
When exploring the Lisbon Region, consider a day trip to Sintra, a fairytale town just 30 minutes west of the capital, to marvel at the Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira. For those interested in coastal beauty, a drive along the Atlantic coast to Cascais and Estoril offers stunning vistas and opportunities for leisurely strolls. Our professional drivers are expert navigators, ensuring your group enjoys these iconic locations without the stress of parking or crowded public transport, allowing for a relaxed and immersive exploration of each destination.
