Jose picked us up with a big smile, very comfortable Mercedes van and bottle water. First we stopped at Averio, a quaint city with a rich history of Art Nouveau buildings, canals and salt production. Jose knew exactly where to park, how to get a canal boat ride and where to buy beautiful hand painted ceramics ( not the factory production stuff). We then visited the seaside and ate at a lovely seafood restaurant.
Our next stop was Coimbra, the oldest University in Portugal. The Library should not be missed. He then took us took to our Lisbon hotel and before he left carefully search his van where he found an item I had left and brought it back to me. Jose speaks English very well and has a great sense of humor, he was a delight to spend the day with. Highly recommend this service.
