Wow was this an amazing day - adventure of a lifetime! We can not speak highly enough of Maya! We had the most spectacular action packed day of cycling and adventure. She has such a high emotional IQ and is personable and lovely beyond description. In short order, after hearing more about us on the train ride, she adapted the tour to our interests and showed us so many hidden treasures. We took the train to Sintra and after tasting a delicious local delicacy we biked off to see some of the most amazing hidden gems in the National Park, off the beaten path, that Maya couldn't wait to show us. We biked through vinyards, through the mountains, down into the coastal region and spent some time at the Cascais Beach. We had a most delicious lunch experience at a local farmers' market tasting local delicacies including vinho verde and local cheese. Delicious!!! We were continually wowed! She has excellent historical knowledge that she wove in as a great storyteller, making the trip an adventure and educational. Maya is so calm and a great decision maker when circumstances change. She sets a very high bar!
