Portugal is country that I know fairly well from years past. My parents lived there for 15 years and they made lots of friends. I brought several groups to visit over those years and of course, mom wanted me to meet all her friends. One friend, Luisa, told mom that I might like to know about this tour guide. Mom told me and I reached out to Jorge Silva and we have stayed in touch and worked together for years. Jorge owns Tours by Jorge and is with me today. We will revisit places I have been to and we will explore places that I still long to see.
