点评:We recently completed our first trip with Secret Italia Tours; this was our first small-group, mini-bus adventure and it was delightful! We began in Lisbon, ended in Porto and had several overnight and excursion stops along the way.
The itinerary was interesting and varied: gorgeous old castles, churches and palaces; beautiful vistas - especially the Douro valley and mountain-side vineyards; wonderful, clean and spacious hotels - all serving full, fresh and delicious breakfasts - something for every palate; fantastic restaurant and winery stops for lunch, dinner and taste-testing; river and canal cruises; a cooking class; and more! The pace was perfect, though the terrain was often hilly.
Pedro, our knowledgable and flexible guide, was well-organized and and quick on his feet when circumstances required slight changes in timing or plans. He relayed information clearly and handled questions well in perfect English. Pedro was very considerate when it came to ensuring that the group was together at all times - even in crowded spaces, often accompanying us back to the hotel even after free-time. He provided suggestions for eateries and stores - always with great patience and humor.
Sergio, our gracious driver, was excellent! We felt no flutter of nerves as he navigated expertly the serpentine and sometimes steep roads up the mountains along the Douro Valley.
If this trip is a taste of other SIT tours, I would certain recommend others in addition to the Portugal tour.
翻译:我们最近完成了与Secret Italia Tours的首次旅行;这是我们第一次参加小团迷你巴士旅行,体验非常棒!我们从里斯本出发,最终抵达波尔图,途中安排了几次过夜和游览活动。
行程安排丰富多彩:我们参观了华丽的古老城堡、教堂和宫殿;欣赏了美丽的景色——尤其是杜罗河谷和山坡上的葡萄园;入住了舒适、干净、宽敞的酒店——所有酒店都提供丰盛、新鲜、美味的早餐——满足各种口味;在餐厅和酒庄享用了午餐、晚餐和品酒;体验了河流和运河游船;参加了烹饪课程等等!行程节奏完美,尽管地形经常起伏。
我们知识渊博、灵活应变的导游佩德罗组织能力很强,当需要对行程安排或时间进行微调时,他也能迅速应对。他用流利的英语清晰地传达信息,并能很好地回答问题。佩德罗非常体贴周到,确保我们始终在一起——即使在人多的地方也是如此。他经常在自由活动时间结束后陪我们回酒店。他总是耐心又幽默地推荐餐厅和商店。
我们和蔼可亲的司机塞尔吉奥非常棒!他驾驶技术娴熟,沿着杜罗河谷蜿蜒曲折、有时又陡峭的山路行驶,让我们全程都感到安心。
如果这次旅行能让你体验到SIT旅行社的其他服务,我一定会推荐他们除了葡萄牙之旅之外的其他行程。
