Pedro organized an amazing 10-day itinerary for our group of six in Portugal. All accommodations and activities were perfect. Throughout the journey, Pedro maintained regular communication to ensure smooth progress and offered timely assistance as needed.
Pedro did an outstanding job coordinating and communicating with our drivers and tour guides. Claudia led our Lisbon Historic Odyssey Private Walking & Tastings tour; Ricardo guided us through Pena Palace; and Catarina provided insightful commentary on Porto's Historic Odyssey Private Walking Tour. Each guide shared valuable knowledge about local history, culture, landmarks, and restaurant recommendations.
Drivers Carlos and Ricardo were a joy to ride with. Both enjoyed sharing information about landmarks, city histories, and dining options.
The trip included numerous memorable experiences, such as:
• A day excursion to Sintra, including a tour of Pena Palace.
• An impressive Fado Dinner at Mesa de Frades Restaurant.
• The Ultimate Douro Valley Experience, featuring a boat journey along the Douro River and concluding with a private tour, tastings, and lunch at Quinta da Pacheca Winery.
• A Hands-On Culinary Experience Baking Pastel de Nata
