Lovely Almada

This was a lovely and highly personal and personalized experience. Carlos is a pleasure to be around, and his knowledge, enthusiasm, and love of Lisboa and the South Bank was apparent. I would most definitely book with Carlos’ and his company again.

Enjoyed the ride to the...

Enjoyed the ride to the water. For alittle more my husband and I were able to ride to the beach with the kids that were surfing which worked out great. The surf instructor was great and our kids learned a lot and had a good time. My husband and I also enjoyed watching. Beautiful beach. Busy but not too crowded for a Sunday.
