He took us to all the "must see" places as well as some out of the way 'local' places to get a flavor of the Portugese. Under his guidance and leadership we had a terrific overview and wouldn't hesitate to hire him again upon our return. We were so pleased to have contacted him and as a result enjoyed every minute of our stay, no muss no fuss. And now in addition to being an excellent tour guide, he owns a travel company "Spain and Portugal Vacations" and can arrange full vacation itineraries. We highly recommend Greg.
