    “Everything was gr8, didn't really have a favourite.” The only one negative I have is that on the day of missing out on 1. The historic centre 2. a church and 3.a cool bridge...it was the Douro bike race that happens annually and I thought you could have worked out a backup plan somehow so we didn't get stuck in huge traffic?+a big disappointment 2 miss out on each of these. Have u had any feed back 4 a part refund of that day? because I would like 2 request a part refund (I felt that this could have been avoided and sure hey,??often these delays etc can happen on a tour though you would have known about this Race????your guide was a gr8 guy 4 the job ?? kind regards, Beth Beth, 23 out 2024

    “Excelente!!” Melhor passeio que fizemos em Portugal. Nosso guia fez nosso passeio valer cada centavo. Na lingua Inglesa e Português, deu um show de informações demonstrando toda a dedicação e amor ao seu trabalho.
    A vista que este passeio nos proporcionou foi coisa de filme. Adoramos. Recomendo!!     Juliana, 25 jan 2020
