"We were 15 parishioners of Our Lady of the Southern Cross Catholic Church, Springfield, Queensland, Australia; recently (September 2022) we did the Portuguese Caminho de Santiago with the logistic support of Lima Valley Tours (LVT). We were transported by LVT from Lisbon via Fatima, Coimbra, Porto, Guimaraes and finally to Ponte de Lima, the starting point for our Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Spain This tour took 2 years in the making due to Covid-19 but was worth the wait. In the interim we got to know Carlos Gandarela from LVT and developed a relationship of friendship and trust. The whole experience with LVT and in specific with Carlos was one of excellence in service; professional competence, punctuality, availability and flexibility. Carlos, as a guide, was well informed and entertaining; his focus was on supporting, accommodating and being available to our group all the time. Thank you Carlos and well done Lima Valley Tours."

"Carlos runs a very professional transfer company. We had the pleasure of his company for a week in may when he drove a group of us around Portugal. I can’t recommend him highly enough. He is courteous , punctual and his vehicles are beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean. He is absolutely the best."
