Guide Summer was terrific, humorous an knowledgable. Tour was overpriced for level of a couple of hotels (Portugal not expensive). Had to pay for farewell dinner, really. Not a very nice gesture. Could have pulled this off by myself and saved approximately $2,500. Boat trip needs to include Duro Valley for this price.
