We have used With Locals in Budapest and had a great experience, this was not the same in Cascais. Our first tour guide cancelled and we were passed to Julia. We were concerned as there was a review where she had not shown up. I had messaged Julia, she was slow to reply but did respond, so wasn’t immediately concerned. I followed up again 48 hours before our appointment to confirm meeting location but no response. I called and messaged the following day and I eventually got a message from Julia to say she was cancelling on us. This was a birthday treat for our friend which Julia was aware of. Julia in her message said we had to organise our own refund and she would recommend restaurants! Julia then didn’t bother to do that! Awful, do not use! How do we get our money back? Terrible! Do not book with Julia!

Artur was amazing. His knowledge is outstanding, anecdotes and information about every corner we visited. His enthusiasm for this beautiful city was so engaging. He had answers to all of our questions and showed us how to get about on public transport - quite handy with all the hills! We have not used a local guide before but based on this experience we would definitely do so again. Can’t rate Artur highly enough, would absolutely recommend him. Thank you Artur!A Perfect Day

Arthur was amazing! So glad we booked with him. We had a leisurely stroll all around Cascais. I felt like he showed us many sights we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Great way to start the trip. He checked in to make sure the pace was ok. He has many good restaurant recommendations. Arthur was fascinating and a joy to spend time with, thank you!Cascais kickstart tour with Arthur

We had a great morning with Artur touring Cascais. He was so lovely and a great guide always checking that we were ok for walking pace. He clearly loves his home town and transmitted that enthusiasm to us with lots of tips that we will follow through over the course of our trip. His care and attention started before we met and has continued with recommendations since. We could not recommend Artur more highly. Great introduction to Cascais

To mention, i was one hour too early - my mistake. He was not far away and agreed to come immediately. What a service! The tour itself was really a pleasure. Good variation between history, culture, we tasted the best pasteis de nata in the city, etc. The pace was up to us to determine. No pressure He also gave us a lot of nice tips on restaurants and on trips towards Belem and Sintra.Perfect

Our four hour walking tour of Lisbon with Arthur on 20 May 24 was amazing. He made the old neighbourhoods come alive with his acecdotes and historical perspective. He took us to local nooks and viewpoints which we would have found by ourselves. Our trip far exceeded the stipulated time but Arthur cherfully went along with us and also gave us invaluable tips for planning the rest of our Lisbon stay. Thanks Arthur! And thanks Withlocals!A funtastic experiece with Arthur

Art was amazing! I got to see a lot of Lisbon at my own pace. Art was so accommodating in terms of dealing with my less than stellar physically abilities and made changes to the plan as we went along. I had the best time with Art.Could not have been better.

Beatriz was fantastic! She is so personable with a wonderful personality! We were shown lots of local museums and historical spots that were within walking distance of our location near the Visitor’s Center. We walked through the nearby park that we didn’t realize was so close. She showed us the Original Santini’s and we bought gelatos. And Beatriz noticed that I accidentally booked the same tour twice, and was flexible in starting time because it was unseasonably warm. Thanks again Beatriz for a fabulous tour of Cascais! I highly recommend her as a tour guide! Ten Stars!See Beatriz’ hometown of Cascais

Artur was simply a fantastic guide. He knows so much about Lisbon—its history, culture, food (steering us to the best Nata in town), hidden nooks and crannies, as well as really helpful shortcuts, elevators, and transit tips to help us navigate Baixa, Alfama and surrounding areas. He was so generous with his time because, as he says, “He doesn’t even look at the clock.” Beyond making the day great, he gave us SO many tips for things we were planning for the rest of our time in Lisbon and the Algarve, even checking in with us via email to see how we fared and to give even more suggestions as he thought of them. His easy going manner, sense of humor, and knowledge made it like meeting an old friend for the day. He is the best!A Guide Who Truly Loves His Work

I improvised and started looking for a city tour through this site. I was thus able to benefit from an unprecedented experience. Artur turned out to be an open-minded guide, very cultivated and passionate about the art and history of his country, very educational in his way of sharing his knowledge, through multiple anecdotes. and above all he went out of his way to make me have an unforgettable day. We walked around Lisbon together. He is patient and attentive, and we can see that he really takes pleasure in wanting to make us discover the Portuguese art of living. He took me to places I never would have found if I had gone alone and told me stories and tales that were remarkable, beautiful and enchanting. The visit lasted beyond the scheduled time, artur does not look at his watch. My experience in Lisbon really did feel like I was seeing it from the inside. We walked, talked, and I learned so much about a city he clearly loves. He has my highest recommendation. Artur is highly professional and fun to spend time with ! I will definitely seek him out to guide me on other tours during future trips to Portugal. Thanks so much for a wonderful and memorable day. We are still in touch. Friendly relationship.A Walk in Town with Artur

His English is great so not hard to understand He let us choose a lot of the tour which was really good! Told us tips and places we need to visit! When we do come again i will defiantly book a tour with Arthur! Lisbon

...just got back to the States from my Euro trip. I was in Lisbon for a few hours on a Friday afternoon, at the end of September. My host Artur made that short time feel like a well rounded insight into Lisbon's life in the present and in the past. It was like exploring a city you already know and love with an old friend. And what a beautiful city it is! We walked countless streets, alleys, steps and hidden corners, saw beautiful architecture and tried delicious treats. I saw Lisbon from many top-of-a-hill viewpoints, learned the story behind every building, square and statue we passed by, and still got left with a hint that every time I come back, there will always be more to explore and learn. Thank you Artur for the wonderful trip! I will be back! Sincerely, Katarzyna Lisbon in a day
