Ivo is really an amazing guide. We were lucky enough to visit 2 places with him : Peniche by the ocean and the medieval village of Obidos. Ivo has a very wide knowledge regarding these two places and also the whole region. He knows absolutely everything. Listening and discovering these beautiful places with Ivo was the best thing we could hope for. Ivo is passionate and make us want to hear more about the history, culture and people of Portugal. We highly recommend him and Silver Coast Traveling. We had a great time and would love to be able to come back and see more with Ivo of course.

At last we managed to visit Flor de Algodao City Spa today. After what’s happened to us all over the last few months we all need to start putting our lives back to some normality and a relaxing massage for us was perfect. We had no concerns as it was exceptionally clean here and we felt safe and well looked after. Leda’s hygiene is superb! ???????????? if you need a massage in a pleasant environment by a lady with healing hands please give Leda a try, you will not be disappointed. Thankyou so much.
