European Travel Awards 2025 10 Day Tour Operator of the Year 2025 – Portugal & European Travel Experience Excellence Award 2025 Schultz Portugal is a family-owned Destination Management Company that has been in the market for the past 10 years. We heard more from Laura Schultz as Schultz Portugal was recently awarded in our European Travel Awards 2025. Schultz Portugal were pioneers in developing our signature multiday product — Small Groups, with guaranteed departures from just 2 passengers, up to 8, as well as tailor-made experiences designed to match each traveller’s interests. Our core values are sustainability, excellence, teamwork, and integrity. We prioritize the sustainability of the local economy, slow travel mode, supporting small producers, local businesses, and artisans across the country. We are deeply committed to offering a fulfilling and slow travel experience to all our clients and travellers. After all, we believe traveling is not just about taking photos — it’s about truly experiencing what each place has to offer: the taste, the air, the views, and the stories behind them. To make that happen, we developed our SMALL GROUPS Product, a Slow Travel Concept with Journeys from 2 to 13 days for those who want to discover Portugal at a relaxed pace, with authenticity and lightness. Ideal for couples, friends, and all types of travellers with Less time on the road, fewer hotel changes, and more time to experience each city. A comfortable rhythm with short transfers, in other words, MORE TIME, MORE EXPERIENCES, MORE MEMORIES. Some of our Exclusive Highlights: • 12 multi-days tour and 7 extensions, that can be mix and matched for an enhanced experience or sold individually. • Guaranteed departures year-round, starting from 2 passengers up to 8, with fixed prices for both high and low seasons. • Transportation in Mercedes V-Class vans, with privileged access to tourist attractions. • Schultz Operational Manager (GOS): a selected driver with tourism expertise - Our drivers (GOS) are selected not only for their professionalism but also for their passion, knowledge, and storytelling ability — so our passengers are always in good hands. • Transfers: Airport | Hotel | Airport • All tours have either a visit or tasting included, amount depends on the duration. For example, Unmissable Portugal, has 4 tastings and 7 visits. • Central accommodations (Bronze and Silver categories) with breakfast included • Each departure operates in either Portuguese, English, OR Spanish — providing a more natural, comfortable, and engaging experience for all travellers. • Gratuity policy designed to support our travel agency partners (with 6+1 or 11+1 free seat conditions) on selected yours. Apart from all that, how do we stand out further? It’s simple. We didn’t create these tours from an office — we personally visited every city, hotel, and experience, exploring each route to determine the ideal travel times, accommodations, and local experiences. Every detail was designed to ensure the perfect balance between comfort, authenticity, and discovery. We believe the future of travel lies in traveling slowly, with purpose and curiosity — rediscovering the richness and diversity that our country has to offer. A Portugal that few truly known, but that everyone should experience. That’s why we’ve been exploring new destinations and lesser-known regions, revealing a genuine Portugal’s made up of small communities, local traditions, and untouched landscapes. Our goal is to provide itineraries that combine comfort, authenticity, and discovery, promoting a more conscious and responsible form of tourism. As an example of how we’re achieving this, we present our latest releases: Historic Villages – 11 Days, Authentic Portugal – 10 or 11 Days, and Lisbon, Porto & Schist Villages – 9 Days. These three tours depart from Lisbon and journey through the interior of central-western and northern Portugal, with packages starting at €2,290. Each itinerary highlights the most genuine side of the country — blending major cities and hidden villages, exploring historic towns and breathtaking landscapes, and experiencing preserved traditions in places like Rio de Onor. Travelers will also discover charming destinations such as Marvão, Piódão, Tomar, Casal de São Simão, and the Schist Villages. At Schultz Portugal, we truly believe our team is the heart of what we do. We seek responsible collaborators who are passionate about creating unique and memorable travel experiences — people who are curious, eager to understand the stories behind each place, and capable of finding creative solutions for clients and suppliers alike. We value human qualities above everything else. For us, it’s essential to have people who care, who listen, and who can make every traveler feel special and looked after. Inside our team, we share the same spirit, we work together, help each other, and keep learning every day. This way, everyone feels ready and supported to offer the best possible service and make sure that each trip becomes an unforgettable experience. Hence, we are so proud to be appraised with the European Travel Award of the best 10-day tour operator with our bestseller tour Unmissable Portugal for the second consecutive time, 2024 and 2025.
