De tour was geweldig! Fred was ontzettend aardig en een hele leuke gids. Het was niet commercieel en echt een ervaring. We hebben mooie plekjes mogen zien waar we ook wat vrije tijd kregen. Echt een aanrader

Lovel morning exploring the countryside with Fred our guide who enlightened us on Portuguise history, cork production, agriculture. Stops at Paderne Castle, Paderne to sample local produce, Alte, Vigario Falls. Just need to change the title of this tour as a 'safari' it was not. Wildlife was notable by its absence. Otherwise a great tour.
