点评:I joined Maeve on her 2025 Gourmet Safaris Portugal and Spain tour. The trip was absolutely wonderful. Maeve is a fabulous host. She is extremely knowledgeable and has spent a long time in the industry making contacts and sourcing experiences that make for a very special holiday. With her and her local guides we had incredible experiences that we would never have been able to replicate ourselves, from local market visits where providores were more than happy to talk to us about all their produce, to special home cooked meals at our guide's home and at a cattle ranch, to private dining experiences where we got to meet the chefs and private winery experiences. Everyone we met was truly passionate about what they do.
Everything was organised seamlessly. Where there were hiccups such as a guest leaving a bag behind Maeve dealt with it with extremely good grace and made sure things were dealt with minimal impact on us.
The hotels we stayed at were all lovely. A dip in the infinity pool overlooking the Douro Valley was a definite highlight.
I would recommend this tour to everyone and can't wait to sign up for my next tour with Gourmet Safaris.
翻译:我参加了梅芙 (Maeve) 组织的 2025 年葡萄牙和西班牙美食之旅。这次旅行简直太棒了!梅芙是一位出色的旅行社领队。她知识渊博,在这个行业摸爬滚打了多年,积累了丰富的经验,为我们精心策划了各种独特的体验,打造了一次难忘的假期。在她和当地向导的带领下,我们体验了许多精彩绝伦的经历,这些都是我们自己绝对无法实现的。从参观当地市场,热情地向我们介绍各种农产品,到在向导家中和牧场享用特色家常菜,再到私人餐厅用餐(有机会与主厨见面)和酒庄之旅,我们体验到的每一个细节都令人难忘。我们遇到的每个人都对自己的工作充满热情。
一切都安排得井井有条。即使遇到一些小插曲,比如有客人遗落了行李,梅芙也处理得非常得体,确保对我们的影响降到最低。
我们入住的酒店都很棒。在俯瞰杜罗河谷的无边泳池中畅游绝对是此行的一大亮点。
我会向所有人推荐这次旅行,并且迫不及待地想报名参加美食之旅的下一次旅行。
