Although the weather was rainy, we enjoyed this tour as much as anything we did while we were visiting Portugal. Our driver and guide Paulo made this trip special. Not only did his driving skills put us at ease for the trip, his extensive knowledge of Portuguese History and Culture were fascinating. A consummate professional, Paulo allowed us to tour at our own pace and used a perfect balance of conversation and quiet reflection to allow us to enjoy the sights. Paulo was polite, professional, knowledgeable and friendly. We left feeling like we had made a new and dear friend. When we travel we like to use private tours when available and Paulo made this one special.
