Luis was our tour guide and driver for 5 days. He was exceptional in every way. He was very knowledgeable in Portuguese history and architecture. He pre planned our trip with our travel agent in the states and had all of our entry tickets on his phone. We never waited for ticket purchases. Our trip went north from Porto to the Duoro valley where we spent two days/nights. Then we went to Coimbra where we visited the University and most importantly the library. Next we went to Fatima and Nazare. From here we went to Sintra and toured the Pena Palace with Luis. Lastly we drove to Lisbon and Luis toured us through the Jeronimos Monastery and church. Luis dropped us off each night at our pre arranged hotel and returned in the am for our next adventure. He was always concerned that all was well at the hotel with check in before he departed. He kept in touch with us on What’s App so we knew when he would arrive. Overall, this trip was so easy for us as travelers thanks to Luis.
