We really do enjoy the food tours by Withlocals. We had such a fun afternoon with Miguel in Porto! I just 3 hours, we went to so many unique places and sampled so many unusual local delicacies! He knew all of the locals such that we were able to get a personalized experience. We would definitely do this tour again. Obrigado Miguel!!
Rita was an amazing tour guide for the four of us. We saw two beautiful landmarks in Sentra and enjoyed a lunch at a seafood restaurant overlooking the ocean before heading back to our hotel in Lisbon. She was informative, kind, and very helpful in helping us understand some of our cultural differences.
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!!
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.
