“Tiago,
I have been meaning to write back to you about the trip. Overall, it was excellent. All the accommodations were great. I would definitely recommend that you put Quinta do Vallado on your list. It is terrific, although I guess expensive. Great wine tasting there, and the rooms and views are fantastic. The guides were all excellent. We loved Portugal. Highlights were Sintra, Nazare, and the Douro Valley. The last day was hectic, we just made it to Porto in time to check in to the hotel, return the car, and meet the guide for a walking tour from 5 – 8 pm. We could have used another day in Porto. Also, for some reason, we had a lot of trouble driving in Coimbra (between the river and all the round abouts), but we ended up walking into town from the hotel, which was fine. Maybe a few more restaurant suggestions for Lisbon would have been good too.
Overall, a great trip.
Thanks for your help.”
