点评:Ricardo was absolutely amazing. He was funny, witty but mostly he was KNOWLEDGABLE. I cannot say enough about our day. It started from our hotel (the unbelievable Casa Balthazar) and our first stop was in Sintra: Quinta da Regaleira. Breathtaking. The woodworking, the tiles, the gardens with the grottos and towers - literally could spend the entire day there. After a delicious lunch (looking at you, Portugal craft beers) we headed to the Peña Palace. We had the option of Cascais and Cabo da Roca OR Peña Palace. Who can resist a love story? Ferdinand’s love letter to his wife, Maria. The palace was unique in itself, but I couldn’t tear myself away from the TILES. Such a beautiful story, too. Our day was FABULOUS.
Ricardo is a walking history book. The fact that he can drive in some crazy traffic, while still pointing out sites as he tells the history? Yeah, unreal. I would definitely book another trip with him, and highly recommend him to anyone wanting not only a wondrous day, but learning as much as possible about Lisbon, the monuments - pretty much Portugal in general. Thank you for a great day!
翻译:里卡多真是太棒了!他风趣幽默,最重要的是,他知识渊博。我简直无法用语言来形容我们这一天的精彩。行程从我们下榻的酒店(令人叹为观止的巴尔塔扎之家)开始,第一站是辛特拉的雷加莱拉庄园。美得令人窒息。精美的木工、瓷砖、带洞穴和塔楼的花园——我真想在那里待上一整天。享用了一顿美味的午餐(葡萄牙精酿啤酒真是太棒了!)之后,我们前往佩尼亚宫。我们原本可以选择去卡斯凯什和罗卡角,或者去佩尼亚宫。谁能抵挡爱情故事的诱惑呢?费迪南德写给妻子玛丽亚的那封情书。宫殿本身就独一无二,但我却完全被那些瓷砖吸引住了。那也是一个如此动人的故事。我们这一天真是太棒了!
里卡多简直就是一本活的历史书。他能在拥挤的交通中一边开车一边讲解历史,还能指点沿途的景点?真是不可思议!我肯定会再次预订他的行程,并强烈推荐他给任何想要度过精彩一天,同时尽可能多地了解里斯本、古迹乃至整个葡萄牙的人。谢谢你带给我如此美好的一天!
