We had a 5 star service from Pedro and the team of tour guides and drivers he put together for us. The response on our questions were fast and accommodating. The itinerary was a perfect balance of culture , gastronomy , sights and introduction of Portuguese history. We were never felt rushed. The hotel selection was awesome and the upgrade that Pedro facilitated for us was very much appreciated. Our tour with Gui in Lisbon was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, informative and definitely proud of his Portuguese heritage. Our winery tasting and lunch in Douro Valley was comparable to a Michelin star restaurant. Andre in Porto gave us a good insight into local cuisine and wines. Our transfers were effortless and easy. With Peña palace staff striking the day we were to visit, Pedro came up with an alternative in matter or minutes and we were quickly rerouted.

This was one of the best walking tours we have taken! Gui was very informative and shared his culture, history in a fun way. He had numerous stops on the way.. pointed out souvenir stops. The hours flew by and we were sad to be done with the tour. He answered our curious questions and made sure his talk was engaging us!
