Discovering Portugal :)
The tour was great! Perfect tour for discovering Mafra and the surrounding towns! The weather was good, although it was a bit windy in the coastal towns and villages, especially in Ericeira. However, it was perfect for surfers :). It was a nice day discovering more of Portugal

Day trip to the surroundings of Lisbon
We were a little wary about the itinerary, but we were given excellent advice and it turned out to exceed our expectations. It was good to get to know the outskirts of Lisbon a little more :)
