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!

Veerle is een hele fijne gids om Lissabon te leren kennen. Ze weet enorm veel van de stad, kent de leuke binnenwegen, geeft veel goeie tips voor de andere dagen (goeie restaurantjes, winkels,...) . Echt een aanrader. Wij waren er met onze 2 tiener kids (13 & 15) en ook zij vonden het heel leuk. Leuke en leerrijke rondleiding met topgids

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

Es sind keinerlei Fragen offen geblieben, auf alle Wünsche wurde Rücksicht genommen, die Zeit verging wie im Flug. Eine klare Weiterempfehlung! Einfach super

We would never have found some of the places and it felt like we were going to “locals” places. Wonderful, wonderful tour. Thank you Sonia!Brilliant tour

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!

Francisco brought us to some amazing stops. The beaches were gorgeous and there was a good mix of historical information and sites as well. 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. I highly recommend this tour. It was nice to get out of the city.Highly recommend this tour

Luis was such an amazing host. He was courteous and gave us an overview of the itinerary. He made sure the sequence of our itinerary and timings were so we avoided most of the crowds. He was flexible so my daughters has more beach time at Cascais. His knowledge of history and his storytelling was excellent. Our visit of Sintra and Pena palace was augmented by his immense knowledge. Highly recommend him!An incredible day with Luis

She was patient with our kids, and helped us discover the rich history behind Sintra. I would book with her again in a heartbeat, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great guide!

My husband and I had the most wonderful half day tour with Luis to Sintra this weekend. He is such a nice person, a very good driver, and so knowledgeable. We got so much more out of the tour than we were expecting: a trip to the historical city center of Sintra, a guided tour of the grounds of Quinta Da Regaleira, Cabo da Roca and then the coastal drive to Belem, with stops along the way. You can choose which palace(s) you want to see. We had a great time and we could never have done it on our own in that amount of time. He also texted recommendations for restaurants near our hotel in Lisbon. Fantastic Tour With Luis

Instead of us looking at the guide books for restaurant recommendations, we booked a tour with Sonia who took us to all her favorite places. We definitely would not have found the places she took us to and all the food and drinks were delicious. Definitely bring your appetite. Sonia is friendly, funny and considerate. Her English is perfect. And she shared some other fanulous places to go to.

This was our first time in Portugal, and the day with Lius was one of the best experiences we've had! He communicated with us before the tour and accommodated with a later start and ending due to personal reasons. We never felt rushed. He was highly knowledgeable about the history and the details of everything. He provided history along the way, an added bonus! He also gave us a brief but nice shopping break in Cascais. I cannot imagine this tour without a guide like Lius. He provided us with excellent touring tips for the following day. He is also super fun! I will give his cards to friends who plan to visit Portugal. Thank you, Lius, for making our trip so memorable!Simply the best!

This was our 1st time in Portugal and this tour enabled us to see Obidos, Fatima, and then remain in Nazare, our next destination after Lisbon. Our tour guide Luis was absolutely fantastic! He was really fun to travel with and extremely knowledgeable about the history of all places en route! We never felt rushed and had the perfect amount of time at each town. And when we arrived in Nazare, he assisted us in checking in to our next hotel and orienting us to other aspects (restaurants, etc). Again, we chose not to return to Lisbon. When we eventually return to Lisbon, we will definitely be reaching back to Luis!Great tour to Obidos, Fatima, and Nazare

Saw so many churches and beautiful sights, such as the Sao Roque, the Gloria elevator, the Se church, church of St. Dominic, history of the area, the plazas, the people and Porteguese rulers. We passed by so many areas and learned so much! Also had time for a water break, cherry liquor (ginjinha), and custard pastries! It was so worth doing, I highly recommend.wonderful day in Lisbon!

Alexandru exceeded all expectations. My wife had a sore ankle and Alexandru adjusted the day's trip to Cabo da Roca, Sintra and Cascais to minimize the walking. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area and provided so much context that otherwise we would have never gotten.

This 3-hour walking tour was the highlight of our trip to Lisbon. It is the perfect way to get the lay of the land once you get to Lisbon. Our guide, Sonia, was delightful and knowledgeable, and because she has a travel blog and TV travel spot, she is the ideal guide. For 3 hours she shared the history of Lisbon and stories about well known sites, as well as hidden treasures. She even bought us pastel de natas and cherry liqueur along the way! By the end of the tour, we felt that Sonia was a personal friend, and later she even helped us arrange a taxi to the airport. We give this tour, and Sonia, our highest recommendation!Fabulous tour
