This itinerary was perfect for me and my husband. It would be great if three nights would have been allotted to Lisbon by adding a day and making the tour 10 days instead of 9. Our tour director Sabrina was great!

Regarding the above matter I would like thank an elderly local guide in Lisbon by the name of Annabella. When I was injured during the trip in Lisbon. She personally accompanied me to search for medical help, walking in the drizzling rain and asking people . Finally without any choice she took me to the private hospital. All the while with me from registration to meeting the doctor , talking and explaining in the local language. After several hours at the hospital she then took me by cab to the hotel before she left. She is a kind soul and many others would not have done that. Even the main guide just left even after I told my problem , only she took the initiative to help me although SHE WAS not MY DESIGNATED GUIDE and her work time was over. I wish Europamundo will thank her for me.
