    Absolutely amazing tour and the best guides! I wish we were staying longer so that I could book more tours with them on this trip. We learned so much about the history of Chaves and Portugal. Our daughter enjoyed every moment of it. It was the perfect combination of walking, exploring, and driving in the jeep. Special little surprises along the way made it even more special. Surpassed anything we could have imagined. Thank you so much!
