The self discovery of Portugal certainly met our expectations. We saw so much & had a great time doing it. We only changed one thing on the proposed tour & that was the vehicle. When we got to the Avis, we had a long wait for service, to discover that the primary driver was the person who booked the car. This was not part of our plan. Secondly, the voucher was for a 7seater & we had it confirmed that we had a 9 seater booked. Initially Avis was not going to allow any changes. But I was able prove what our booking was & then they assisted us. Otchanges made to the itineraof meet & greet at the tour company.Show more
