Our small group (mother and adult daughter) had an excellent custom day tour with Antonio and Ride 351 in September. We worked with Antonio to build an itinerary, but the trip exceeded our expectations in every way.
Antonio met us promptly at our lodgings in Lisbon and drove us to Evora, our destination, sharing lots of interesting facts and history with us along the way. He even surprised us with pastries! In Evora, we enjoyed a traditional lunch and learned more about Portuguese cuisine.
This was followed by our favorite part of the excursion--a visit to a stunning winery that Antonio had hand-picked, where we got to tour a 16th century mansion-turned-winery complete with rediscovered chapel; learned about traditional and cutting edge wine production; sampled delicious wines; and, most exciting of all, got to see a huge ancient cork tree up close.
We got to do and learn so many extra things due to having an experienced and knowledgeable Portuguese guide, and we'll treasure our memories of this day. After this, Antonio dropped us off at our lodging in Evora, ensuring that we were all good to go before leaving and even carrying our bags.
He truly went above and beyond in every way and was such an engaging, informative, and kind host. We would absolutely recommend any length of tour with Ride 351--the customer service, value, and experience were all top-notch and we would love to tour with Antonio on a future visit to Portugal!
