A Short But Grand Time in Porto, PORTUGAL - We got exactly what we wanted - a 4-hour tour of the wonderful sections of Porto. Our pick up and drive back to the Porto Airport was on time; it was perfect. The taste of the pasteis de nata with coffee, the time in the temporary market, the view and music at the cathedral and the walk along the bridge between Gaia and Porto - are all truly memorable moments that will surely lure us back to Porto. Thank you so much to our guide Ruben, who provided all these.
