A major advantage of experiencing Europe with a private guide is the ability to take the back roads, those small byways that the big buses simply don’t have time – or room – for. European Focus has traveled these roads with our guests for more than 16 years and today was no exception as we drove from our country lodge to Lisbon over the tiny yellow roads on the map, passing through silent villages and looking over deep vistas. Along the way, we encounter the real people of this land.
