Liz & Victor, USA, September 2016

“Good morning Nuno,

We are also back home safe and sound!  Our trip to Portugal was very enjoyable.  Your country is very beautiful and clean!!!!!!!!! We were happy to have our friends along with us on this journey especially on some of those long car rides!

We especially loved Sintra and wish we had more time there.  After spending 3 nights in Lagos, we felt it was too long.  The hotel was lovely but a bit too quiet for us.  Our hike tour with Carla was incredible!  She was the best!  We bought some wine at the Fonseca Winery.  The Churches and Castles we visited were beautiful!

The GPS was a great help and got us to our destinations without too much confusion.  I must say though that we have never experienced so many round-abouts in our driving history! lol

Vanessa was great and available to answer any questions we had when needed.  Our experience with you and Portugal Trails was great.  I must admit, in the beginning we were unsure about having to pay for the entire trip up front, but seeing your professionalism and the package that was presented to us at the airport (thank you for the gifts!) was very comforting.  Thank you for making our trip a memorable one.  We will definitely recommend you to any of our friends and/or family!

Best Regards,

Liz Cruz”
