About this experience
This is a countryside tour exploring Sintra, Mafra and Ericeira, We really appreciate the villages where we were born surrounding by the sounds of nature and the smells of the countryside. The materials we use are sustainable and the food is organic prepared at home. The Citroen 2cv capacity is 4 including the driver (smaller groups), so we will drive the Volkswagen T3 classic van for the whole family, groups up to 8. We can drive both if necessary.
We are @ Agorasim . pt Countryside Experiences and Events.
