Tour Reviews
Superbe journée, Norberto est un guide très avenant, qui connait énormément de choses sur la région et le Portugal en général. La seule déception serait les 10€ pour traverser le pont suspendu. Sinon une jolie balade le long des montagnes et de l’eau. Un repas dans un joli village typique et une fin d’après midi dans la Venise Portugaise.
