We took the Sentra tour with Marco and it was wonderful. Marco picked us up at our rental and drove us to Sentra for our ride. He stopped in a number of locations to show us unique things in the park in addition to pointing out sights for us. He was also able to cater the ride to our abilities. I am a novice so he picked a track that was comfortable for me but took my husband on more challenging trails to allow for him to do more mountain biking. After the ride, he took us to a number of look outs and fed us a delicious lunch of local favorites and friend fruit, vegetables, breads, and cheeses. It was a wonderful experience. Additionally the bikes we're in fantastic shape, along with helmets. We were given water bottles as a gift. And Marco was aware of safety and made sure that there were not any mishaps during the tour. We highly recommend this and would love to have another tour in the future. Thank you for all the fun!

Our fourth day out with Rui- this time he took us South toward Evora, stopping first in the picturesque village of Arraiolos where tapestry rugs have been crafted since the 16th century. A wander through the village and tapestry studios made us feel as though we had stepped back in time. A feeling that remained as we visited Evora with its remarkable Roman remains. But our travel through time continued even further back as, in the late afternoon we arrived at the Almendes Cromlech - a megalithic double stone circle, the finest in Portugal and reportedly one of the oldest in Europe. Because it’s off the beaten track, down a rutted and difficult to navigate lane passing through groves of cork trees, the site doesn’t receive many visitors. We had it all but to ourselves as the sun began to set, casting sunbeams and shadows all around. Truly magical! As always, Rui recommended a great little restaurant for lunch in Evora and conveyed us safely home to Galamares at the end of the day..

My girlfriend and I decided to go for this tour/experience around Lisbon to enjoy our last day in Portugal. No Regrets. We really had an amazing time, from Cascais to Sintra, going through landmarks such as Cabo do Roca (most western point of Continental Europe) to the Peña Palace, discovering wonderful sights and with the lead of our Guide exploring secret areas, with less tourist and more natural experiences. It was a pleasure to discover the region with a local, which has a passion for the place he grew up in. I would recommend it over and over. Particular thanks to Ruben.
