Luis handed us off to Fernando who was fantastic and the communication was seamless. We had such a nice time hearing about the culture, politics, and lifestyle of Portugal. Evora was great. He was also super accommodating to our particular groups needs. Lovely and accommodating tour w/Fernando

We loved our trip to Evora with Luis. First, Evora is a beautiful walled city with great character. The roman ruin, churches and cathedral were a great draw, but it was walking the streets and seeing the shops we loved the most. It was also wonderful to be outside of Lisbon for a day and see the countryside.
Second, Luis was a terrific guide for us. From the car ride first thing in the morning until the return trip in the afternoon he was filled with information. He weaved together questions we had from other tours with new information about our visit to Evora and really helped us form a more complete picture of Evora, Lisbon and Portugal (people, places, culture and history). He is a wealth of knowledge that flows in conversations and stories and kept us engaged all day. We highly recommend him for any tour and appreciate that he made our day very fun.Evora Day Trip with a Great Guide

We spent a day with Sofia touring the beautiful city of Evora. Sofia picked us up at our rental in Lisbon right on time and drove us through Portugal's beautiful countryside giving us interesting information along the way. We really enjoyed the sights she showed us and had a wonderful meal inside the walled city. I'm so glad we decided to leave Lisbon for the day as there is so much to see outside it. Sofia is really knowledgeable and such a delight to spend time with. I felt like we had a new friend by the end of the day. A beautiful day in Evora!

Wir hatten einen sehr interessanten Tag in Évora. Luis hat uns sehr viel berichten können und wir fühlten uns sehr wohl. Auf der Fahrt von Lissabon nach Évora und zurück haben wir sehr viel über das Land, die Historie etc erfahren. Ein kurzer Abstecher zu einem Weingut und zur Christus Statue rundeten den Tag ab. Pünktlich kamen wir an unserem Kreuzfahrtschiff an! Vielen Dank für diesen tollen Tag! Interessanter Tag in Évora

We took the day trip to Evora with Diogo and it was a great experience. Diogo was very knowledgeable and you could tell he loves his home town. He mixed for us the right amount of history and shop-browsing with a wonderful lunch. If you choose Diogo to tour you, you will not be disappointed! We heartily recommend him and this tour.A delightful day!

We booked Sonia to give us an introductory walking tour of old Lisbon on our first morning in town. She was very flexible in putting back the start time to avoid the rain and met us at our hotel reception. We were impressed by her knowledge of the city and her excellent English. She showed us lots of local places, avoiding the tourist traps and giving us a lot of recommendations for the remainder of our stay. We were all glad we did the tour and would definitely recommend Sonia. Absolutely recommend Sonia!

Our group was a large, multi-generational family, including a toddler and Sonia was both knowledgeable and patient. She took us to some of her favorite local places to sample Lisbon cuisine.
The food was wonderful and Sonia is a great host. Obviously proud of her city and thoroughly knowledgeable about the history and fun facts. We had a great day. Thank you Sonia! Fun Food/Walking Tour of Lisbon With Sonia

We just finished our 10 tastings tour with Sónia. What a wonderful experience! Sónia was an amazing guide! She took us to several places, all of which were fantastic. Everything we ate and drank was absolutely delicious. She was very sweet, and even made accommodations to try a local food a friend had told me about. If you’re in Lisbon, and you like food, you should absolutely take this tour with Sónia!An amazing tour

We had the pleasure of spending our first day in Lisbon with Sónia, and she made the experience unforgettable.
She was warm, friendly, and so knowledgeable, guiding us through highlights like the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara, Castelo de S. Jorge, and the beautiful Igreja de São Roque.
What we loved most was how she mixed history with personal touches, making us feel like we were exploring the city with a local friend.
She brought us to great food stops, like O Trevo for a pork sandwich and Manteigaria for the freshest pastel de nata. She pointed out even more!
If you’re visiting Lisbon, we can’t recommend Sónia enough, she made our first impression of the city truly special.Best day in Lisbon!

I booked a tasting tour with Sonia on our arrival day. I had worried we might be too jet lagged to enjoy it but I was so glad I booked anyway!
Sonia is warm and so easy to talk with and it’s apparent how much she loves her hometown and it’s food! I now have a list of things I want to order again during our stay! She was a wealth of information and set our trip onto the right foot! Highly recommend! I feel like we made a good friend! The best first day!

Wir waren zu zweit unterwegs – und genau darauf hat Luis die Tour abgestimmt. Mit Herz, Humor und tiefem Wissen hat er Lissabon und seine Geschichte so erklärt, dass alles Sinn ergab. Er passte Tempo und Inhalte an unsere Interessen an, machte spontane Abstecher zu versteckten Orten und gab tolle Tipps für Essen, Aussichtspunkte und weitere Erkundungen. Jede Frage wurde geduldig beantwortet, komplexe Zusammenhänge hat er klar und lebendig vermittelt. Am Ende hatten wir nicht nur viel gesehen, sondern Lissabon wirklich verstanden. Absolute Empfehlung!Perfekte Privatführung zu zweit mit Luis

Walking around the city with Sonia was like walking with a close friend. We walked , laughed and did not know where the time went . I had to add an extra person the day before and Sónia went out of her way to coordinate withlocals team to add the extra person. She provides the right level of detail, and tailored the tour based on our needs . Would recommend Sónia to everyone in. Heartbeat.

Wir hatten eine traumhafte schöne Führung mit Luís! All die Informationen über Geschichte, Hintergründe, Entwicklung der Stadt und auch persönliche Erfahrungen der eigenen Familie wurden so kurzweilig und interessant rüber gebracht, dass es von Anfang bis Ende spannend blieb. Vorab schon gab es eine tolle Kommunikation, wo wir nach Wünschen und Ablauf gefragt wurden. Auch die Restaurant Tips unter Berücksichtigung der genannten Unverträglichkeiten waren Gold wert. Eine davon haben wir gleich nach Ende der Tour umgesetzt und wurden nicht enttäuscht.
Man hat gemerkt, dass Luís sein Job Spaß macht. Uns wurde weitaus mehr geboten, als wir erwartet hatten. Sowohl inhaltlich, als auch zeitlich. 1000 Dank für diesen tollen Tag! Einfach perfekt!

There were 6 family members on our tour with Sonia. 1 has knee mobility issues and needs to move slower at times. We reached out to Sonia several weeks before the tour and she was so very considerate to make sure we were all comfortable with special attention to our one family member.
In talking with Sonia, it’s very apparent she loves people and her city! We felt like we immediately connected with her and really enjoyed our time with her - hearing about and tasting some of her favorite foods - croquettes, coffee, code cakes, shrimp, chorizo, pasteles de nata and the cherry liqueur Ginja! She also asked if we were interested in history and shared some of the history of Lisbon and Portugal, and she took us into an amazingly beautiful church.
All 6 of us loved meeting Sonia and spending a few hours with her - we highly recommend this tour and Sonia!
Thank you!Lisbon classic food

Ze nam heel veel tijd voor ons en had veel geduld met de kinderen.

We had a lovely time being guided by Veerle through Lisbon. She will tell you a lot about the past and present - adjusted to the subjects you want to know more about. I do think it’s expensive but it was worth it for me because it was in Dutch which was easier to understand for my kid. Veerle is very knowledgeable.

Henrique was an incredibly knowledgeable guide. He knows the city intimately and is a fountain of knowledge about history. His enthusiasm and deep understanding for the area created a deeper curiosity about Portugal for us than when we arrived. We see Lisbon with new eyes and a more wholistic understanding of its place in European and world history. Plus, he has great restaurant recommendations. Tours with locals always has the best guides, and Henrique is the best of the best. A Brilliant Experience

Had a great visit with Tiago to Fatima and Obidos in July 2025....He was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and very kind throughout the day-long journey. As a visitor with some existing background knowledge of Portugal in advance of our travel, I was grateful that Tiago went beyond explaining the "what" of what we were seeing and dove deeper into exploring the "why" from a historical and cultural perspective. This was our first time ever traveling with a personal tour guide, and we were a little apprehensive that we would feel rushed and/or simply received a "pre-packaged" experience....not the case with Tiago! He tailored the day to our very specific interests, and the whole experience felt extremely relaxed and personal....we'd recommend him without hesitation!!! Great Experience!

He was thoughtful and kind and let us take our time to take in the beauty of each stop. He found us a local restaurant in a fishing village where we chose our own fish for them to prepare for us.
