Best of our in country guides
We had walking tours in 4 Portuguese cities. All had different guides. Elena was fantastic. She was one of the highlights of our time in Porto. She is highly xonn active and listened to our questions. She formed a great connection with my wife and discussed the Portuguese language with her at length.
