We enjoyed the painted houses on our first stop by the Atlantic. The boat ride although enjoyable is too touristy and really not needed. The town was fun with lots to see and we found a great lunch spot. Coimibria was nice and we enjoyed an hour of free time.

After nearly cancelling our tour due to lack of a guide, Tiago from Meridian4people arranged a tour guide, Nelson, to take us. There were only ourselves (2) and another 2 ladies so we had a virtual private tour. Nelson, our tour guide war absolutely terrific and we had a great day. After some hesitation, we booked through getyourguide but everything was above board and worked out well. Can highly recommend.
