Vores guide Goncoles var meget vidende og interessant at lytte til. Han havde en god forståelse af området og små historier om quintaen. Vi var lidt skuffede over, at vores guide gav turen på to sprog, engelsk og spansk. Vi tilmeldte os en engelsktalende tur uden at vide, at vores guide også ville give den samme tur på spansk sammen med os. Dette burde have været nævnt på jeres hjemmeside.

Fremragende besøg med Hugo på Quinta Da Regaleira. Han forklarede alt ned til mindste detalje, og vi stillede ham mange spørgsmål, som han besvarede med stor viden. Jeg anbefaler besøget 100%.

Guillerme var meget venlig og forklarede alt meget godt. Vi var heldige, at min kone og jeg tog turen alene med ham ..... Så det var meget tæt på
