Debra Gaines and Alberta Piche, Canada, April 2015

“Good Day Cristina,

I want to thank you so very much for taking such good care of me before Debby arrived.

The guided hike with Bruno was amazing…he was excellent and showed me the small villages along the coast. Hiked to a very pristine beach that I got to dip my toes into. He was very attentive and never tired of my questions. Very gracious and I highly recommend that he continue on your roster of guides.

The road book was very well thought out and presented all the highlights and great as a testament to your work.

The wine tour, the Fado dinner were highlights I would not have wanted to miss. Except the GPS is okay with directions to the Winery, as opposed to written directions.

The transfers worked very well to and from hotel, and bus stops. George was just like family in his greetings and I was so happy to see his face in the bus depot. Thank you for all the details you provided. My single adventure was awesome, and the Quinte on the top of the hill provided all the necessities. The owner and the staff were very attentive, and even came down in the evening to pick me up after dinner. Very personalized service.

Debby and I had an amazing trip, all your planning paid off, The GPS had some glitches but I think

Debby told you about them..updates for Braga and Aveinda. We put 1,500 KMs on the car!!!!

The guides were so kowledgeable about all the history , and Nuno was so gracious and we hiked 22 KMs and I was thrilled that 11 KM on the El Camino…which is what I have dreamed about.

The lodgings, esp the Psoudas will provide long lasting memories.

Your dedication and commitment to make sure your customers have a perfect trip speaks to Portugal Trails as the best supplier for self-guided trips to Portugal. I will recommend you and your company to anyone that wants a great experice!

I will get the picture to you and send from home.

Take care, Happy Summer…I am sure you will be very busy with travellers from all over the world.

Cheers,

Alberta”
