We misunderstood that it was a hiking tour. Xavier was so flexible to change the itinerary on day, and even brought outdoor cloths to hike with us. We went for a beautiful scenic hike and we enjoyed it so much!
Hi Cheng, Thanks for your words. Yes, is our goal, trying do give the best experiences even though you book a different tour, we adapt. Regards
It was amazing. Xavier is excellent. Pontual, familiar with the local culture, very friendly, always seeking to please us to the maximum. and It was a day of breathtaking landscapes and to know the famous cheeses of the region, breads and presumpts Waterfalls and fresh lakes in the middle of nature. On a summer day you can even bathe in the waterfall. Have fun. I highly recommend this tour.
Agradeço o comentário e fico contente por terem gostado do tour. Foi um prazer conhecê-los e espero recebê-los quando voltarem a Portugal
The explanations given by Xavier and the patience q had at all times. Quiet, careful and pleasant trip
Punctuality, sympathy and impeccable service! We were me and my companion, we left at the scheduled time and we met various places without prey, with tranquility and in the great company of Xavier who explained the history of the places where we passed, in addition to pleasant conversations or as we would say the Brazilians of "good chat."
Marcelo e Cátia, agradeço as palavras. O meu trabalho também depende da recetividade de quem nos visita, o que no vosso caso, foi exemplar e um gosto poder partilhar o nosso Portugal convosco. Espero que tenham gostado dos "souvenirs" do queijo e do vinho... :) e poder contar com a Vossa companhia numa outra visita, bem hajam
Xavier is great, super attentive, formal and very informative. We love the trip and recommend 100%! Everything was done calmly and safely.
Olá J. agradeço o comentário. Ainda bem que gostaram da viagem e espero que o queijo vos delicie ainda mais e que vos deixe com vontade de nos visitar novamente... até à próxima, Xavier
Xavier was an extraordinary accompanist. He listened to us throughout the day and appreciated that he communicated with us in our language when we had difficulty making ourselves understood. The visit was a wonderful surprise. We did not expect to see such beautiful natural pools.
Bonjour, je suis heureux d’apprendre que vous avez apprécié les piscines naturelles et tout le circuit. Il y a encore beaucoup à montrer, j'espère vous voir dans une autre occasion. Ce fut un plaisir de vous rencontrer. Merci beaucoup
