Portugal was definitely worth a visit. The hotels were first class and the breakfast buffets and food were delicious. I give our tour guide a six out of ten. She seemed not very tolerant when people talked among themselves or did not give her their undivided attention. On my previous trip in March, our South African guide Ron McGregor was so interesting, knew everything about the country, had a great sense of humor and took all of the travelers and their quirks in stride. He was just fantastic. I am already signed up for a tour of Costa Rica in December. I also wish that you would offer a Hawaiian Island hopping tour similar to the ones that I took in the Galapagos several years ago.
