My holidays couldn’t be better and it was just possible because of Miguel who guided me through the famous places. I will never forget Sintra and those enchanted places that we cannot find anywhere else.
Miguel discussed many interesting facts that only a local would know. We highly recommend Miguel and will love to tour again on our next trip to Portugal.
I highly recommend guided tour of Lisbon and the surrounding area. I was impressed with the knowledge, enthusiasm and kindness of Miguel.
