Sadly, because our tour was the day before Christmas, some of the major attractions on the tour were closed for Christmas. However, Jose made sure we were compensated because of this! Thanks so much Jose for the lovely day!”

I wished we have had a little more time in Nazare because the views are spectacular, but that wasn't the guide's fault (service too slow at the restaurant which took most of our time). The stories behind each place creates a very interesting tour and we learn a lot on the history of Portugal. Batalha is terrific. Thanks to our guide Simâo who made this day a wonderful one.”
