Sergio is the perfect guide! So knowledgeable! We toured with Sergio the day before and he suggested this half day tour because it was going to be a raining day. This was a great tour. Highly recommend the tour and Aventuras!!
This was a wonderful tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable, and was able to give us a lot of information about things we were seeing, while also stepping back and giving us a chance to enjoy its beauty. He took it upon himself to take pictures so we could enjoy the moment and not worry about capturing memories on film. Very satisfied with the whole experience!
Thank you very much, it was a pleasure to take you to explore the museum and the bussaco forest. best regards
