Ronni & Paul, USA, January 2018

“Hi Diana, Thanks for your email. I had been planning to write to you to tell you what a wonderful vacation we had, but it has been pretty crazy at work since I got home. Thanks for all your help with the planning of our trip to Portugal! It was a fantastic vacation and we were very happy with the hotels and the activities that you had planned for us. We especially liked the tour of Lisbon (Elsa was fabulous!) and the day of bike riding with Phillipe. We also really enjoyed the winery tour. Regarding the hotels, they were all great, but our favorites were the Villa Cascais (where Pedro made us a delicious meal) and the Pousada de Lisboa (my personal favorite). I think we would have liked Covilha better if it hadn’t been snowing there! It was good, but in retrospect, it was a lot of driving for a short visit, and those days happened to be rainy and cold. We really loved Sintra, and ended up going back there for a day and going to the Pena Palace and Moorish Castle (we hiked from Sintra). The GPS was so helpful! It’s easy to know what we liked in retrospect, but we would have liked an extra day in Cascais, and perhaps skipping the time up north, although it was interesting to learn about the Jewish experience in Belmonte. In any event, I’d be happy to write a review on TripAdvisor and you are welcome to use our feedback (…). I would also be happy to be a reference if someone wants to email or call me. We would definitely use you again if our travels bring us to Portugal, the Azores or Spain! Thank you so much! We really appreciated your planning, your ideas and your responsiveness when we did call the help line! All the best, Ronni”
