“Hi Sofia, Portugal Trails was an amazing way to travel and we will be writing some great reviews on TripAdvisor and Facebook!  You made it so easy to get around the country and the places we stayed were amazing!  We actually tried to follow all your suggestions in each place we visited and all were spot on! The guides you contracted for us were great.  The only exception I would say was the Porto guide, who was fine, just did not give us the whole time we were booked for.  The others were outstanding and went above and beyond to help us understand and appreciate the places we were visiting.  It’s so important to understand the history of a country to appreciate all that you are seeing.  Guide books alone cannot give you the heart that the guides did for us! All the hotels were lovely and the staff helpful.  Hard to choose a favorite, but we absolutely loved the Valverde!  Our least favorite would be Hotel Moliceiro because the staff were not as helpful and did not speak english with the exception of one lady.  The breakfast was not as good as all the other hotels.  Minor problems in the scheme of things. We remarked many times that we wished every country we visited had a Portugal Trails for their country!  Thank you again for making our trip so memorable!  Portugal is a beautiful country and we will return some day!  Thanks to you we feel like we really got a good taste of the places and people!  We also have a new appreciation for port!  🙂 Thank you again! Kristen”
