I think overall the trip was really well planned. Joao was very available and even helped arrange a gift for my son for his birthday. I would have preferred to stay in Cascais rather then Lisbon and just take trips day to Lisbon sites from Cascais as one night in Cascais felt too short-was a very lovely place. Evo and Carlos were both excellent drivers, super friendly, and great with my kids! They both went above and beyond. Carlos even parked at the airport to help us with our luggage and was patient with us when we overslept! Everyone was very nice. The only issue I had was at Cascade wellness resort with the showers not draining properly. My main feedback would be I wish there was more transparancy in the individual cost of each items rather then being bundled together. The cooking class, boat tours, winery were all wonderful. Sara did a fantastic job with the walking tour of Porto. Joao and his team were always very available on what's app whenever we had a question. Overall, I really appreciated the seamlessness of the trip!

Stunning views. Wish we had known there would be little food on this as by the time we ended and got back was almost 10 pm and we were starving.

Carlos did a wonderful job picking us up on time and giving us tricks for getting through the crazy Lisbon airport.

Hi Mili,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback. I’m really glad to hear that you enjoyed the trip overall and that everything felt seamless. It was a pleasure to help make your son’s birthday special (Let's Go Sporting)! I’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Evo, Carlos, and Sara — they’ll be so happy to hear it.

Cascais is indeed a lovely spot, and I appreciate your note on that. We’re grateful you chose to travel with us and hope to welcome you back to Portugal again soon!

Your friend in Portugal - João
