A couple of guides stand out for both Linda & I. Our guide for the day trip to Douro Valley was João & he took us to exclusive wineries for a wonderful experience where we were the only tourists. Our lunch with him at a vineyards restaurant was incredible. He taught us how to debone a fish that day & we had one of our favourite meals there.
Our day trip from Lisbon to Sintra with Nuno was another favourite. He was a local from Sintra. We did 2 hikes that day with a picnic at the top of the coastal cliffs.
Marta & her team were fantastic, always available with quick response time if we had any questions or had any timing issues. The team would check in on us throughout the trip to ensure all was well.
This was a trip of a lifetime where we had the opportunity to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We just can’t say enough good things about this team & have already recommended you to several of our friends.
Thanks again for providing a wonderful travel experience!
