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 had ten tastings which were all amazing including delightful food and locals drinks. In between stops Sónia is very happy to pass on her knowledge about Lisbon and its amazing history. Highly recommend, especially at the start of the break to familiarise yourself with the area. Amazing food tour with Sonia

Miguel picked us up right on time (he was early) and was so enjoyable ! He arranged for our luggage to be transported ahead of our group to alleviate the stress of managing it throughout the tour. We saw Pena Palace and he provided the local history. He arranged the tickets and made sure we knew where to go and when to be there. Our time in Sintra was beautiful and the pastries along the way were delicious! He is an excellent guide and so accommodating. I highly recommend a day tour with Miguel!!Perfect Day!

If you plan to go to Sintra (or any tours from Lisbon) we highly recommend booking with Rui. Terrific communication from the get-go. We wanted to see the Quinta da Regaleira and Cabo da Roca. Rui worked with us to plan a perfect day. He was on-time in a clean comfortable van. Knew walking shortcuts so that we didn't get caught in the crowds that are the norm in Sintra. Provided insights and info as we walked and answered our many questions about Portugal and Lisbon. The thing that really stands out is Rui's personality, which is delightful. Friendly, comfortable, easy going while still keeping us on track for our very full day. He even added a stop as he drove us back to Lisbon because we hadn't yet been to the Monument to the Discoveries. (Well worth seeing!) An investment to do a private tour? - yes. Worth every penny -- Absolutely!
PS - The trains were on strike when we were in Lisbon but because we had arranged with Rui, we didn't have any worries. Best decision we made on trip to Lisbon!

This was our first time in Lisbon and it can be overwhelming. We wanted to know about the different neighborhoods, a little overview of the city's history, and recommendations about food as one of our party has gluten and lactose sensitivity. The tour was excellent! Sónia recommended restaurants that were celiac certified, as well as restaurants that were local favorites, not tourist traps. As a lifelong resident of Lisbon, she gave us interesting historical information and guided us through the different neighborhoods. She is friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend Sónia as your Lisbon guide!Wonderful experience with Sónia!

Our family chose the ‘City Explorer: Obidos, Batalha, Alcobaça & Nazaré’ day trip and had a wonderful time visiting multiple sites with Stasea. All locations were extremely diverse and offered a little bit of everything. I highly recommend doing a guided tour to these locations as they are far distances from Lisboa. Stasea was extremely knowledgeable of the history, patient, kind, and also a great driver. The ages of our group ranged from 7-65 years old and everyone had a good time! I highly recommend choosing this tour if you have additional days in Lisboa and want to see different areas of the country. Great day visiting multiple sites!

At every opportunity she provided a eclectic mixture of local anecdotes combined with history. With a little pressing she always had more to offer.

We had such a wonderful time on this food tour in Lisbon! We met our guide, Diogo, at a stunning overlook of the city—a perfect place to begin. Diogo was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about Lisbon's history and culinary traditions. Our first stop was a cozy restaurant where we sampled octopus salad, clams, and a fritter with fascinating historical roots (originally created by Jewish communities to disguise chicken as pork). We also had fresh sardines and appreciated Diogo’s excellent guidance on how to eat them like a local.
From there, we made a brief stop by the Pharmacy Museum for another great view before continuing to Artis Wine Bar for more small plates and a lovely dessert. Along the way, Diogo pointed out historical landmarks like an old bookstore and a classic coffee shop. We ended the evening in a lively plaza with a tasting of ginjinha, the traditional cherry liqueur. It was the perfect mix of delicious food, culture, and fun—highly recommend!Lisbon Food Tour with Diogo – 5 Stars

Sonia was great! We had a great time even though it rained for some parts of the tour. She was very attentive and flexible and allowed us to go at our own pace. We booked her for a walking tour for our family of four (me, my wife, our 4 and half year old son, and our 7 month old daughter). We had a stroller for our son and my wife and I took turns carrying our daughter in the baby carrier on our chest. Lisbon is known to be hilly, but the tour was not strenuous. We got to sample the famous custard pastries and the cherry liqueur (served in a tiny chocolate cup). Sonia provided us with interesting factoids and insights about the city. This was our first time visiting Portugal and we wish we had a couple more days to continue exploring and experiencing Lisbon. We would highly recommend Sonia as your tour guide!
