    Daniela - September, 2016

He listened to our preferences and put together the most amazing trip that combined cities and small towns, great food and wine, culture, beautiful scenery and more. We felt that we got to experience some of the best Portugal has to offer. The trip was perfectly suited to our tastes (the opposite of a generic package tour) but we had the benefit of someone making everything happen seamlessly in the background. Pedro is obviously very committed to his clients' happiness. He's great at his job but also an incredibly nice guy. We highly recommend Pedro and Portuguese Ways and hope to work with them again!"

    Stephanie - October, 2015
