    Tour was good in relation to the hotels and food, except for the hotel Casa das Pipas which did not have room for us in the main hotel and we were located 300 mtr away from the rest of the group! Itinerary was loaded with churches and convents, although the activities such as tile painting and cheese tasting were good.

    Both the driver, Joao, and our guide, Justin, were excellent. Meals and hotels were good and the stops were all excellent. We did not receive the tiles we made in Lisbon as promised.

    Good tour. Hotels a little uneven and need to Mike all tour guides as heard to hear, take pics and be spread out or in noisy traffic.
