What a beautiful country! Loved our trip to Portugal! Pedro set everything up perfectly and communicated with our group regularly during the trip. It was fun getting to know our wonderful drivers especially Carlos and Ricardo who gave us many tips. The guides were top notch-loved Claudia, Ricardo, and Catarina. Special memories include the Fado dinner in Alfama, the Pena palace in Sintra, the view of the bridges and river in Porto, and our visit to wine country in the Douro valley. Can’t wait to come back again for a visit!❤️
