Rui is an amazing tour guide. He is kind & knowledgeable; and makes even a rainy day, a fantastic experience. We got to see three unique towns of Portugal; which gave us another opportunity to understand the culture, landscape, and history of the Portuguese people. I would highly recommend this tour as an addition to your stay in Lisbon; and the experience wouldn’t be complete without Rui as your guide. A great experience

My husband and I had a wonderful tour with Luis, visiting Sintra and Cascais. Luis was incredibly accommodating and knowledgeable about the areas, providing us with fascinating insights into the history and culture of each location. We also appreciated having some free time to explore on our own. His enthusiasm was evident and made the tour engaging. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and appreciated Luis's friendly nature. Thank you, Luis, for a delightful day!" Living Like Royalty for the Day!

Luis ist ein sehr sympathischer und erfahrenerGuide, den man vollständig vertrauen kann, der seine Gäste freundlich und emphatisch empfängt und uns mit seinem hervorragenden Wissen durch Lissabon geführt hat. 3 Stunden inklusive Mittagspause reichen leider nicht aus, die Stadt ausgiebig zu erkunden. Ganz allgemein gesprochen, sollte man die Mittagspause zusätzlich buchen, damit man wirklich 3 Stunden Zeit für die Führung hat. Ansonsten können wir Luis wirklich sehr empfehlen und würden ihn bei einem zukünftigen Besuch in der schönen Stadt Lissabon erneut buchen. Er spricht perfekt Deutsch und passt nicht den Wünschen seiner Besucher sehr gut an! Vielen Dank, Luis! Lissabon m. Luis

My wife and I booked an 8-hour day with Sofia for the 2nd of our 2-day stay in Sintra. Sofia met us at our hotel, we jumped in her car and off we went to learn & see as much as we could in one day. Being a Sintra native, Sofia knew the city and its environs intimately and spoke energetically as we drove. Our first stop was at the grounds of a hotel that had a wonderful overlook of the area. Leaving there, our next stop was Monseratte Palace which has extensive grounds and gardens and the Palace was a beautiful building. Unfortunately, the building was not used for many years before becoming a museum and virtually all of the furnishings were sold via auctions. We spent considerable time in the palace going from one empty room to another. And while Sofia was very knowledgeable about the Palace, there was very little to see. After a snack at the shop on the Palace grounds, we took another pretty ride to the Capuchin Convent, used by monks for centuries, but now a museum that depicted the incredible spartan life these religious men lived. It was very interesting and Sofia knew lots of things that she shared about the convent, including the many nights that she and her fellow girl scouts spent sleeping there as children. To me, this stop was was very interesting even though each room we visited was also empty. But, unlike the Palace, these empty rooms realistically portrayed the strict and hard life the monks lived. Our final stop was a very nice restaurant on the coast overlooking the beach, surfers and the coastline. With the day ending, Sofia drive us back to our hotel where we said our goodbyes. Overall, it was an enjoyable and informative day but we would have preferred to see more places rather than spending almost our entire day at the limited number of places we visited. I agreed with Sofia that the Peña Place was not worth the time because of the crowds but there are many other places in & around Sintra that I suspect are very worthwhile seeing but we never had the chance nor time. I think a better approach than seeing two places in depth would be to see a number of places, agreed upon before the tour date, so that the clients could choose those places of most interest to them. This is not to say that Sofia did a less than stellar job. She was outstanding for what we saw, but I wish we could have seen more places.A good day with Sofia

Diogo was an amazing guide with a lot of knowledge about the city, telling us about the history of Lisbon and showing us beautiful spots and landmarks, taking our group to several restaurants to try local dishes and drinks. He was friendly and fun and gave us a lot of restaurant and bar suggestions for our trip. This was an amazing way to experience Lisbon for a few hours and Diogo is really to recommend!

Diogo was excellent. He was friendly and informative without being overbearing. He adjusted the food options to our taste. He knew the history of the city and took us to some super local restaurants which we would have passed by had we been on our own and also gave recommedations of places to visit for the remainder of our visit in Lisbon. Would highly recommend him! Tasting Tour with Diogo

Luis war sehr eloquent und verfügt über enormes Wissen. Wir könnten reichlich davon profitieren. Besonders gut fanden wir dass er uns genügend Freiraum gegeben hat, so dass wir auch einiges an Zeit für uns hatten. Klare Empfehlung. Recommend 100%!!!!Tolle Tour an der Atlantikküste

My wife and I took a day trip to Sintra with Luis in early March. Luis did an awesome job of personalizing our tour and helping us navigate the best way to see all that Sintra offered. Luis shared so much information and his knowledge of Sintra and Portugal in general made the trip so interesting. Luis was more than willing to make adjustments to the tour to meet our needs. We asked that we drive back through Cascais when we returning to Lisbon. Even though this extended the time of our trip, Luis made it happen with only a small fee which was more than fair. Luis has a great personality and it was so great to hear about his family history as it related to the changes that have happened in Portugal over the last 50+ years. His sharing really gave us a great understanding of Portugal. Fantastic Tour with an awesome guide

Luis was the perfect host to start our visit in Lisbon. We learned so much about the history of the city and his passion for Lisbon and Portugal are evident throughout this tour. We learned how the trams work all over the city, went to multiple viewpoints for pictures and had toured through several neighborhoods comparing and contrasting the architecture and history of the city. Luis did a wonderful job of moving our tour after our plane was delayed. I'm so glad he had a slot to move our tour because this tour was so valuable to get our bearings and learn about the public transport. Don't miss this tour!Loved Luis and the Tram Tour

Our day with Sofia was absolutely perfect! All I can say is trust her ideas and be willing to adjust your plan to her suggestions. She knows what she is talking about! We started early per her suggestion and thankfully we did. We took a train from Lisbon into Sintra to meet Sofia and begin at Peña Palace. We arrived before the big tourist crowds and thankfully we did! As our tour through the palace was over, thousands of people were in line. We had lunch on the oeanfromt at a lovely Portuguese seafood restaurant that had incredible food with perfect views! We ended the trip by going to the Capuchin Convent and so glad we did. Seeing how the monks lived at the time and learning their history was so intriguing. The drive up the mountain to the convent as beautiful. We basically had this place to ourselves and it was the perfect complement to the palace. Zero regrets about this tour with Sofia!Perfect Day in Sintra!

Our day with Sofia in Sintra was amazing, so much so that even though we had returned home and become busy with other things, my father-in-law reached out asking how he can give Sofia accolades, our day with her was definitely a highlight of our trip. In his words, he has not met a guide who was as professional as her. She fiercely represented her people and her homeland and she answered each and every question genuinely. Everything was well-arranged and Sofia went above and beyond with planning. She was a great communicator, candid to speak with, and we learned so much. All of her recommendation were phenomenal and we enjoyed seeing Sintra with her. 1 month on, still talking about the tour!

Absolutely delighted with our experience with Luis, our guide in Portugal! Luis is not only an excellent guide but also a wonderful human being. His extensive historical knowledge and passion for the region were evident throughout our visit. We spent the entire day with him, exploring Sintra and the coast, including Farol do Cabo Raso and Cascais. Luis’s insights into the history, culture, and architecture of each location added immense value to our trip. He shared fascinating stories and little-known facts that brought each place to life. His ability to weave historical context into our tour made the experience both educational and enjoyable. Luis was incredibly accommodating and friendly, ensuring that we were comfortable and engaged throughout the day. His enthusiasm and dedication to making our trip memorable were truly appreciated. We feel fortunate to have had Luis as our guide and will definitely hire him again when we return next year with our family. Highly recommend Luis for an enriching, informative, and enjoyable tour experience!Amazing guide and thoughtful individual

Sofia was lovely and a wealth of information. We customized our Sintra tour to focus on Quinta de Regaleira and then also got some history from viewing points of two other historical sights as well as lots of history while driving. I have a deeper appreciation of what we saw and while the pictures would have been beautiful the visit wouldn't have been as meaningful without the rich historical stories to go with it. Understand that Sintra is big and there is much to see, too much to see everything in 5 hours. I can't wait to return and spend a few more days in Sintra to explore more of the beautiful sights and history. Do not miss this tour!

While doing all of this she saw that our time together was at a relaxed pace and provided just the right amount of information about the scene itself and Sintra. Sofia was very prompt and professional with all correspondence prior to our tour. We left Sintra with great images, wonderful memories and a new friend.

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.
