Adventures with Ed!

This was a fun tour of places to visit outside the city limits. Our tour guide, Ed, was very knowledgeable about the places we went as well as Portugal’s history. He gave us great recommendations on places to eat and told us he was just a phone call away if we needed any help outside of the tour time. Great tour by an even greater tour guide. Highly recommend this.
