Podobało nam się, piękne, wyjaśnienia przewodnika były świetne. Warto było. Miejsce spotkania nie znajduje się tam, gdzie pokazują mapy Google, ale tam, gdzie kupujesz bilety.

Jesteśmy bardzo szczęśliwi, że mieliśmy to doświadczenie z kompetentnym przewodnikiem. I oczywiście możliwość ominięcia kolejki była dobra, chociaż czekaliśmy, aż kolejka się zwolni, więc nie do końca "ominęliśmy" kolejkę. Nasz przewodnik był bardzo kompetentny, a ponieważ w grupie mieliśmy osoby anglojęzyczne i hiszpańskojęzyczne, mówił jednocześnie po angielsku i hiszpańsku! Byłem pod wielkim wrażeniem. Witryna ma tak wiele interesujących historii i szczegółów, że cieszymy się, że mieliśmy taką pomoc.

Nasza wycieczka po Quinta da Regaleira była niesamowita! To piękne miejsce pełne historii i wiele do zobaczenia. Nasz bardzo kompetentny przewodnik, George, był doskonały w dzieleniu się informacjami i zabraniu nas do najlepszych miejsc na terenie. Zalecamy zarezerwowanie wycieczki, aby jak najlepiej wykorzystać swoją wizytę. A rezerwacja przez headout była bardzo prosta!

Naszym przewodnikiem była Lunor. Była fantastyczna. Znała tak wiele historii, że sami byśmy się nie zorientowali. Samo miejsce jest wspaniałe, zwłaszcza studnia. To była główna atrakcja naszej podróży. Zarezerwowaliśmy to w ostatniej chwili i nie mogliśmy dostać biletów na własną rękę i cieszę się, że tak wyszło. Było warto!
