The van was extremely comfortable and the drive around Lisbon to view the tiles on homes and businesses was great as it showed the diversity of colour, size and pattern. The drive into the country side was delightful.
Our guide, NN was extremely pleasant, knowledgeable, and appeared to have passion for the whole topic of tile. He thoroughly answered all our questions, specific to tile and our general questions about living and working in Portugal itself.
We were very impressed with the tile workshop. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Being able to actually glaze our own tile was a fascinating experience. Then to have them fire our tiles and deliver them to our vacation abode was truly wonderful. The quality of the tiles we were able to buy at the workshop were first-rate but extremely affordable.
The Museum of Tile was truly astonishing and once again NN was able to explain and direct with great expertise. Enough time was allowed for us to explore.
NN also recommended we try cuddle fish for lunch - a really great choice
