“Wonderful tour - Portugal amazed us with its beauty, and one more in the list of exemplary visits was Fatima Nazaré and Obidos. Excellent tour with Lorenzo, mainly for being a good driver on this trip and good to note the details of the tour. There’s no way to describe what we saw, it has to be seen in person.” - Reviewed on 2024-10-06
