Andre was an amazing guide and the trail was one of a kind. Never in a million years could I have navigated it without him. We had a great conversation and the time flew by. It was a great way to get outside the city of Lisbon and explore. It is a bit challenging in parts and when the guide tells you to wear pants, trust them :)

Jose was a really great tour guide- from beginning to end. He customised our itinerary to ensure we visited all the places important to us, and still added in a few quick stops along the way which were surprisingly beautiful and well worth detours (especially the most western point in Europe).

We spent a one day guided tour with Pedro, and we had the best time! We went from Lisbon to Evora, saw cork factory, Bone Chapple, and the Ervideira Winery. Pedro was so informative and did a wonderful job at customizing the day to our liking. He brought us to a fabulous quaint restaurant for coffee and snacks and later to a restaurant where we had our favorite meal of our entire visit in Portugal. Pedro also took pictures along the way and even gave us a special souvenir from Portugal! The entire day was one of our highlights, and we highly recommend Pedro and Growing Adventure!
