Obrigada pela atenção
Last April, my husband and I traveled to Portugal to celebrate our 43 wedding anniversary. Ricardo of Carepa Tours picked us up at the airport and dedicated himself to show as his beautiful country . Ricardo has a wealth of knowledge of the history of Portugal and showed us places like Batalha the birthplace of Portugal independence and the impressive Monastery of Batalha, we went to Cascai a beautiful city by the sea where close to it had a seafood lunch in a restaurant by the Atlantic Ocean. We were surprise when he took us to the westernmost point of the European continent Cabo da Roca, a place that takes your breath away for the wild beauty of the place, we also visit the Sanctuary of Fatima and in our trip to Porto a visit to the Douro River Valley and the winery for the Fonseca Port and a beautiful lunch at a beautiful restaurant by the river. If you want to see and taste the real Portugal you can trust Carepa Tours and Ricardo Carepa will not disappoint.
Thank you very mych for the review. I hope to have you soon in Portugal Kindly Regards
Ricardo is the GOAT of tours operators, he is a professional with a vast knowledge of the history of Portugal which he gladly shares with his clients. In our trip he created a very well thought itinerary in which we visit places like Batalha the birthplace of Portugal independence and the beautiful wine region of the Duoro River Valley taking us to visit the winery for the Fonseca Port, we also visit a little town were the traditional food is suckling pigs and we were delight to try such delicacy at the famous Nova Casa dos Leitoes. We vist Fatima, Cintra, Cascais , Porto and had a wonderful seafood lunch by the Atlantic Ocean and to our delight he took us to a place we didnt know it existed the westernmost point of the European continent , Cabo da Roca a breath taken cliffs with the most beautiful views of the Ocean. Because of his professionalism ,friendliness, and knowledge we fell in love with his beautiful country. My husband and I highly recommend Carepa Tours if you really want to get know Portugal.
