“Hi Cristina, Mark wrote you a great review on trip advisor, but I also wanted you to know what a wonderful trip we had! You worked with us in planning the best trip we have ever been on! We enjoyed all the different places that we visited from Lisboa and Sintra and Oporto, to the castle villages and vineyards. We really loved staying at all of the Pestana properties. Our favorite one was the monastery in Guimaraes. We loved the building, the food, the grounds and the pool! The one in Belmont was amazing also and the Casa outside of Évora. We loved driving along the the Douro river valley and visiting the little villages and towns. We also loved the southern most point of Sagresh and it’s beautiful cliffs and gorgeous views of the ocean. We met many wonderful people of your country and heard their stories about their lives and their pride and stories of Portugal. The Chocolatier, Laura, in Castelo de Vide; the tour guide at Pacheco Vineyard, Rubin, a college student who gave us a tour of the church Santa Maria de Viseu, who later joined us for dinner; one of the employees at the Casa named Marta; a sheep herder up in the high mountains near Seia, and a cafe owner in Viseu who wouldn’t charge me for my salad because he didn’t have all the ingredients to make it just right; and the list goes on and on….. Of all the traveling we did, I would have to say that it was only the last day that was difficult. It was too much to drive 3 hours from the south into Lisbon, go to the hotel, return the rental car, pack and them get to the Fado dinner. We just couldn’t do it all and hated to miss the dinner, but we had heard it went on late into the night and we had to get up at 6 to get to our plane on time. We have told many people about Portugal Trails and what a good service you offer. We hope to come back again one day as we love your country and would like to visit some of the areas we didn’t get to explore. Again, thank you for all your help! In Gratitude, Laure and Mark Frank”
