The trip was well planned and well executed. It was a full schedule with a good variety of activities to see some of the highlights of Portugal, but also with enough unplanned/down time for us to explore and relax on our own. The guides were knowledgable and enjoyable company (special shout out to Claudia) and the arrangements were always on target. A highlight was the private tour, tasting and dinning at Pacheca vineyard which I am sure we could not have experienced on our own. Excellent experience across the board.

Class was well done, a lot of fun, results were delicious, and I learned how to make Pastel de Nata. Looking forward to baking more soon!
