Rita was fun loving and knowledgeable. She takes you on a tour tailored to your ages and interests. She took us on a winding tour of Lisbon to areas and places we would never have found on our own. We visited hideaways in Chiado, Bairro Alto, Bica and Alfama which included bookstores, mysterious fountains, former brothels and a bar that was the Portuguese version of a beatnik hangout. You will just have to go on her tour to find out the fun that Lisbon nightlife has to offer. Lisbon at Night

Rita guided our 3 generation family group through a truly amazing day. She has a very warm personality, connected immediately with our grandchildren (9 and 12) and kept them and all of us immersed in the history of the Peña Palace and the playfulness of the gardens of Quinta da Regaleira. A Great Inter-Generational Day

Rita was awesome! Super knowledgeable, catered to our requests and was so gracious. Great communication form start to finish! Her genuine enthusiasm, pride, and passion for Portugal is infectious. Book with confidence! We really enjoyed the unfinished monetarist, and Nazare was a dream come true for me personally.Perfect Day Trip from Lisbon

Rita is an excellent guide. She has passion about Portugal and was so informative about the history and culture. The tour I booked was for Belem but it was so much more. I felt like I was on a tour with an old friend. We stopped by the original pastel de nata bakery- that was the best of all the pastries I had during my trip. A private tour is the way to go- you get so much insight of the aspects of Portuguese life that is of interest to you and your group. Informative historical and cultural tour

Rita was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was a great start to my weekend in Lisbon and set me up well for further exploration. Rita is a great storyteller able to connect foreigners with Portuguese history and contemporary culture in a relatable way. I greatly enjoyed hearing about her personal connection with the carnation revolution. Good morning in Lisbon

Rita was an excellent guide. She was friendly and fun, with a huge personal knowledge of Lisbon. She gave us a local’s viewpoint of the city, which is so much more valuable than the usual tourist guided tours. We got an understanding of the local culture and history and learnt so much about Lisbon in just 3 hours. Would totally recommend Rita.

Rita gave us a great tour of central/old Lisbon, touching on all the interesting and historic sites. Also explained some of the political history for context. She is a terrific guide and (born there) long time resident. She also offered good recommendations on other things to see and restaurants. You CANNOT go wrong with her! Historic city tour with Rita

Rita was an amazing and flexible tour guide for my 30-something daughter and myself. She totally adjusted our itinerary to meet our needs, even stopping at a pharmacy for some needed supplies. She is very knowledgeable about Sintra, Cascais, and Lisbon and is great at answering any and all questions. She loves her job and it shows. Her English is impeccable and we learned a lot about the area. Totally recommend booking a tour with her!Knowledgeable and Friendly!

Our guide to Fatima and Nazare was Rita. She was kind, patient and knowledgeable. I wish we could have had another tour with her. Her knowledge and insight into Fatima was appreciated. As Catholics we appreciated saying the rosary at the little church. She understood our reverence for the site, and gave us opportunity to pray. She also provided insight into the churches and the Portuguesse feast days. We had a good meal at a local restaurant and she guided us to the best selection. Finally she was aware of our interest in Nazare. The waves were not rolling, but she shared her experience seeing the big waves. I would recommend Rita and a guide. We felt like she was a dear friend.A wonderful experience with Rita

My family & I had a wonderful tour with Rita on a rain-soaked afternoon in Lisbon. She was amazing & kept our family of 5 (inc 3 teenagers) enthralled with the history of Lisbon.

An absolute win starting off our holiday in Portugal with "withlocals". The experience provided a base for further "withlocal" tours we did in other cities. It gave us an opportunity to figure out some city secrets, best of places and other trips to add to our itinerary. However, we found an absolute gem in Rita. She felt like one of the family and conversation was easy going and even our young teen boys had a great time and enjoyed the entire trip. Rita is well versed, knowledgeable and a wealth of knowledge regarding Lisbon. We cannot thank her enough and sing her praises. What a trip.One of the best experiences on our trip

I recently had the absolute pleasure of joining a personal tour of Lisbon led by the amazing Rita, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Rita's in-depth teachings on the culture and history of Portugal were truly enlightening and added a whole new dimension to the sights we visited. Her expertise and passion for the subject were evident in every aspect of the tour, and she was always more than willing to answer our questions and engage in enlightening discussions about the local culture and history. Rita's friendly and approachable nature made her a joy to interact with, and her storytelling ability brought the historical sites to life. It was clear that Rita was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about sharing her love for Lisbon with her guests. Not only did Rita provide a comprehensive understanding of the city's history, but she also immersed us in the vibrant and authentic atmosphere of Lisbon. She introduced us to local artisans, pointed out hidden gems, and provided insights that only a true insider could offer. Her recommendations for food and entertainment were spot-on, and she truly helped us experience the heart and soul of Lisbon. Rita's professionalism, warmth, and expertise were apparent throughout the tour, and she went above and beyond to ensure that we had a memorable and enriching experience. I cannot thank her enough for her dedication and the incredible depth of knowledge she shared with us. For anyone looking to explore the real Lisbon and gain a profound understanding of its culture and history, Rita is the perfect guide. Thank you, Rita, for an unforgettable and eye-opening experience.Eric

I loved how she gave us a lot of tips on how to go about our trip like which places to go and where to eat - very helpful. And also, she sent us restaurant recommendations which is great. She is really nice and made us feel welcome and comfortable. I truly recommend to do a tour with Rita on your first time to Lisbon. We had an a great time !Amazing tour

If you're planning a trip to Sintra, Portugal, book a tour with Rita (she came highly recommended to me by a colleague). Rita's passion for Sintra, the people, and history was immediately evident. She has a warm personality and is an engaging storyteller who took the time to answer our questions and share personal anecdotes, and by the end of the tour, it felt like I was saying goodbye to a friend. Rita Rocks!

We had a terrific time exploring Lisbon with Rita! She was full of interesting tidbits of information and gave us lots of tips and tricks to make out time in the city easier! We did this tour our 1st full day, and not only did it help us orient, but she also showed us elevators and tunnels and ways to avoid climbing all the big hills that we used the rest of the trip. She also suggested several excellent restaurants that we ate at later and enjoyed. The burnt church was one of the most interesting things, and hearing the history of the revolution and the big earthquake were also fascinating. We enjoyed sharing little cups of Ginjinha too! Overall, we would definitely recommend her and this tour.A Terrific Tour

Kari🇺🇸 United States

Rita was a wonderful guide! She is a Lisbon native and knows so much about the city and the history of Portugal. Not only did she take us around the city, she showed us some "short cuts" to get up the MANY hills in the city. We used those throughout our stay! She gave us great recommendations for food and other places to visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Rita! Fantastic tour of Lisbon with Rita!

We had a wonderful day visiting Sintra with Rita! She is very knowledgeable about this area and knew not only the history and details of the castles but also helpful things like when to arrive and the best path to walk to avoid the crowds. Rita was smart, funny and warm-very open with us and responsive to our questions about Portuguese life and history. She was energetic and organized-got our tickets ahead of time and reserved our lunch, but also relaxed and never rushed us. It was a really beautiful area and a pleasure to visit it with her. Highly recommend her as a guide!Amazing Sintra Trip with Rita

Rita was one of the best tour guides we have ever had. Not only is she extremely knowledgable about her hometown of Lisbon, but she is such a fun and enjoyable person to hang out with! Her personal connection to the city was fascinating along with her knowledge of Portuguese history. She shared stories from her grandmother, parents and her childhood which helped us connect to what we were seeing. We had spend some time in Lisbon before but she took us to areas we had never seen and provided excellent food recommendations. We highly recommend Rita for a tour of Lisbon and suggest doing it at the start of your time in the city to get your bearings. A wonderful day with Rita in Lisbon

Rita is an excellent tour guide who knows her stuff. She was good company and covered a lot of territory on the walk . Her tips and suggestions were excellent . Our only issue was her pre and post communication . She as polished for no response in the morning as she forgot to press SEND. She promised to send us a list of recommendations , however nothing was forthcoming A thorough tour

Our group was fully satisfied with Rita as a guide and as a person. She was on time to pick us up, the drive to Fatima was excelent and her knowledege of the site very helpful. We went also to Obidos and she took the time to show the important attractions there. It was very easy to interact with her. She is also fluent in Spanish.

Rita took us to Sintra and Cabo da Roca. She was great company for the trip, full of information but also friendly and good to chat to. Visiting the Moorish Castle and Quinta da Regaleira with her showed us the sights in a special way and I’m sure we saw them differently than if we’d made our own way. We particularly appreciated the coffee and amazing travesseiros that kept us going, plus the lunch choice in Azenhas do Mar. Stopping at the edge of the ocean at Cabo da Roca was stunning. We’d highly recommend a trip with Rita. A great day out

Days before sended messages, no answer from the tour guide. We called Withlocals… they tried there best to solved this big issue. Withlocals is very correct for solving this issue. Tour guide sended someone else (great men), but didn’t told Withlocals, also didn’t informed the customer. That is not the way to treat people. Shame on you!No reaction, no notification
