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. It is a pioneer in developing its signature multi-day product: Small Group tours with guaranteed departures from just 2 passengers, up to 8, as well as tailor-made experiences designed to match each travellers’ interests. We heard more from Laura Schultz as Schultz Portugal was recently awarded in our European Travel Awards 2025. Our core values are sustainability, excellence, teamwork, and integrity. We prioritize the sustainability of the local economy, the 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, which can be mixed and matched, for those who want to discover Portugal at a relaxed pace, with authenticity and lightness. This is 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. Key Highlights: • 12 multi-day tours and 7 extensions, which can be mixed and matched or sold individually • Guaranteed departures year-round, from 2 to 8 passengers, with fixed pricing across seasons • Transportation in Mercedes V-Class vans, ensuring comfort and ease of access throughout the journey • Schultz Operational Manager (GOS): selected driver-guides with tourism expertise, combining professionalism, destination knowledge, and storytelling • Airport–Hotel–Airport transfers included • Central accommodations (Bronze and Silver categories) with breakfast included • All tours include curated visits and tastings, with the number depending on the itinerary (for example, Unmissable Portugal includes 4 tastings and 7 visits) • Departures operated in a single language — Portuguese, English, Spanish, or French — ensuring a natural and engaging experience • Gratuity policy designed to support travel agency partners, with 6+1 free seat conditions on selected tours Apart from all that, how do we stand out further? It is 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 where we can rediscover the richness and diversity that our country has to offer. A Portugal that few truly know, but that everyone should experience. That’s why we’ve been exploring new destinations and lesser-known regions, revealing a genuine Portugal 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 • 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. Looking ahead, we are strengthening our partnership with Wikitravel. ai to provide travellers with local insights for each destination. This means that, in addition to our Operational Manager (driver with tourism expertise), we plan to integrate this platform, further enhancing the travel experience for every passenger and contributing to the growth of tourism in Portugal. 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.
