Diogo is a wonderful tour guide with the most friendly and kind manner! We really enjoyed the entire day with Diogo, his Rita, and happy little dog Musa! And we also greatly enjoyed meeting the other guests, a delightful family with Olena & Mike, and their young sweet son, little Mike. Mike, the husband, surprised every one of us with the gift of a coffee at our 1st stop! (except Musa, of course!)
The places Diogo drove us to were very beautiful areas in Sintra, Mafra, and Ericeira. The views along the way between destinations were also very beautiful. We were delighted and never wouldld have seen such places on our own!
We especially enjoyed the countryside picnic in a most picturesque little village. The delightful picnic was a joint effort between Diogo and Rita with homade bread, cheeses, home cured olives, pumpkin jam, sautéed mushrooms and sausage, wine and homemade cherry liquer1! It was the best!
Then we went to Ericeira by the coast. Awesome views and a quick stop to pick up special Nata pastries for each of us! DELICIOUS and the BEST, crispiest, and not-too-sweet Nata we've tasted, even though others have said the best are in Lisbon!
All along the way Diogo had us listening to a nice music mix he played and offered to send to us. This enhanced the easy going, relaxed tour.
We highly recommend this tour! We were a little concerned the weather would be raining/cold, but the day turned out to be warm enough and the VERY BEST!
