This was our first trip to Portugal and we loved everything about it. The trip was well balanced with history, local culture, wonderful wines and fabulous food.  Shannon does a phenomenal job of planning and connecting with the local people and her guides couldn’t be better.  We enjoyed every aspect of the trip and would highly recommend it.  For those concerned about hills and walking, accommodations were always made and generously provided – a great help to my husband and any others on the trip who needed it.  We plan to travel with Shannon again and look forward to our next trip.
