The highlight for us was our guide, Xavier. he went above and beyond what would one would expect, especially since we booked it with a misconception that it was a guided tour. it was not, it was only a transfer and that was our fault. Xavier took us to the areas that we signed up for and gave us knowledge of the stops as best he could. he was fun to be with, very accommodating. and showed us a good time while educating us also. he made the trip a better experience than we deserved.
Xavier picked us up at our hotel in Coimbra and took us on a delightful trip through the countryside, We had ample time to visit the Knoghts Templar castle along with several monasteries and convents. In addition he stopped so we could climb stairs and get a top level view of an aqueduct. Besides castles and monasteries we saw the big waves at Nazare and walked the streets of Obidos, If you don’t book your trip with Xavier you are depriving yourself of a great day in Portugal.
Hi Dave, we did one of the best routes connecting lisbon and coimbra. The landscape speaks for itself, I make every effort to show the most important points. Glad you liked it, Portugal is unique. Thank you for the words and recommendations
