Absolutely a must!

We easily reached our meeting point from our accomodation at Largo de Sao Domingos. Our guide was wonderfully accommodating, and he ensured a comfortable pace for everyone. The rich information provided and our guide's genuine friendliness made the tour a delight, and I thank him for that!
