About this experience
The tour will be in English only, in a small group, with very personalized service. This shared tour is almost a private tour because we are always in a small group. We are very easygoing, and at the end of the day, everybody has to be happy. We love this work, so everything is easier.
The simple thing of feeling cork from a cork tree growing or walking at the our beautifull sandy beaches will make all the diference.
Travelers will experience the real simple things.
