Paulo was an excellent guide! Very knowledgeable in all aspects of the tour: history, culture, nature, geology and economy of the region. The cork factory and the process he explained was a totally new subject for us and very interesting. Paulo was very kind and helpful.

We loved Paulo! The four of us had been to Lisbon before but never had such a wonderful and informative visit! Paulo was absolutely one of the best tour guides we have all had.
