The Tour guide Emilio was excellent. My Sister, my brother in law and I had a great tour and was fun to listen to Emilio’s explanations about various sites we saw and Emilio’s sense of humor is impeccable. Emilio really made everyone feel comfortable. He is funny and caring. He thanked us all on behalf of Portugal and tourism industry. God bless. I can also say that Emilio knew everyone on the way. He was happy and made everyone happy. What a great personality. Wish him a lot of success. I will visit again and any friend visiting will be recommended to have a tour with Emilio/Euilio.
