Our favorite part of the trip... - We went on our trip as a family of four and left feeling like we had just met another member of our family in Portugal. Having Antonio (Maximo) with us in Portugal for three days was a blessing that we will always hold close to our hearts. Antonio went out of his way each and every day to make sure that my children were happy, that I was accommodated as a vegan and that we were all enjoying our time. He provided so much history, knowledge and warmth throughout our time in Portugal. All of the people that he came in contact with along with way knew him and obviously loved him. We felt like we were so well taken care of throughout our time with Antonio. If you are looking to explore the areas between Lisbon and Porto, this is the way to do it. The "touristy" factor is removed and you feel like you are with a great friend embracing everything wonderful that Portugal has to offer.

Pleasant and informative drive from Porto to Lisbon . - Antonio was a good driver. He was patient and thoughtful of Linda’s leg injury (several days earlier). We enjoyed the boat ride Aveiro, and he took us to a bakery for delicious treats. He knew of a nice place in Coimbra for lunch.

Comfortable and convenient transfer to Lisbon - Private transfer is definitely a good choice for us. We have a chance to visit 2 beautiful places along the way to Lisbon. Time is flexible too.

Adventures through Portugal - Tiago, our driver, was very polite, accommodating and helpful. We went to Aveiro where he left us at the pier for a boat ride through the canals. Later he showed us where to buy Ovosmoles and the fish market. We road around the city and headed on to Coimbra. We specially liked the Palacio Real site within the University. Coimbra's University is the 4th oldest university in the world. We left Coimbra a little earlier, as we requested, since we wanted a short visit to Fatima before arriving in Lisbon. The trip was wonderful and uneventful. Thank you Tiago!!!
