He carried with him a notebook of fascinating historical pictures, paintings, and immigration data that he shared with us all along our 3 hour journey and diligently and comprehensively answered our hundreds of questions about every aspect of the slave trade in Portugal. We cannot imagine a better guide and we highly recommend this trip to anyone with an interest in this topic.
