  Uma visita da família trouxe nosso pai idoso, que usa cadeira de rodas para viagens longas, mas usa muletas para distâncias mais curtas e consegue subir alguns degraus com ajuda.... read more Encontramos a Walkborder Tours como um fornecedor que também ofereceu transporte da cadeira de rodas dobrável e deu a nós, nossos irmãos e paizinho um passeio e um dia maravilhoso. O atendimento foi muito bom, desde a preparação e planejamento do dia com o Hugo, até a presteza do nosso motorista Carlos e suas dicas e informações e conversas interessantes, até o carro confortável com espaço para nós oito adultos e a condução segura do Carlos. Claro, a viagem foi ótima: Queluz, Sintra (nosso foco escolhido), Cabo da Roca, com passeios maravilhosos pelo campo e via Cascais de volta a Lisboa. Altamente recomendado!
