Adam did a great job planning our trip for us, meeting all our requests and making us happy. His communication was amazing.
We started in Porto with a very nice walking tour showing us the highlights of the city and learning some of the history of Porto and Portugal.
Our Duro Valley wine tour was amazing. Philip was an very engaging and well informed tour guide who explained wine making and the regions during our drive. We got to experience some great wineries. like the Quinta de Roncao, which is a small family winery with a touching story and good wines. From there we took the boat tour and saw some of the big names in wine and pictouresque vineyards. We then visited Quinta dos Castelares where we had a truly exceptional guided tour and tasted some very good wines.
Our visit to Lisbon was exciting and full of fun and energy. Our Tuk Tuk tour gave us the highlights and some history of the city which was much more rounded out by our walking tour and visit to Sao George Castly. Andre was so well informed and made sure we saw everything we wanted and got the most of our day. The evenings Fado dinner was a true taste of the real Portugal. From our driver to the food to the singers it was a once in a life time experience that any visiting Portugal should have.
We ended our visit to Lisbon and the truly beautiful Sintra and Cascais. The Pena Palace and Regaleira are both unique, colorful and stunning beautiful regions of Portugal. Nuno gave us so much information and history of both locations and we were so happy. He even made sure we were able to visit the Chalet, which was not on the original tour but something we wanted to see.
We wish we had made more time to visit Portual and may return to experience all of this amazing country.
