5. Included in the cost of the tour were copies/e-copies of our book about Portuguese cuisine, and we hope you are enjoying them. Since ours was a culinary tour, we did not dwell on Portuguese culture. However, would you have liked some reading suggestions about general Portuguese culture before you left for the tour? *

Yes No

6. A certain amount of walking and climbing steps is unavoidable. Was the amount of walking/climbing on the tour great enough that we should caution future participants that the tour is not recommended for those who cannot walk or climb unassisted? *

Yes No
