We spent two delightful days touring Sintra and Evora with Rita. She was knowledgeable, full of interesting stories, and extremely accommodating to our group of twenty-seven. She anticipated our needs, planned a reasonable and enjoyable itinerary, and kept us on track. Rita had many suggestions for good places to eat, she knew alternative pathways for those who needed or wanted them, and created a good balance of tour time and free time. She is personable, funny, and her English is flawless. She took us to places off the beaten path and explained why what we were seeing was so important, and she shared anecdotes about what life in Portugal is like for the typical person. It is clear that she lives her country, and can see and talk about its flaws. I would hire her again enthusiastically and without reservation.Two delightful days with Rita

Rita was fabulous, knowledgeable, personable + engaging. We really appreciated her introduction to traditional Portuguese food + drink, including a quick shot of Ginjinha between stops. We loved the casualness of the places we visited from the best custard tart maker and charcuterie shop to the traditional restaurants while we enjoyed salt cod, sardines, cheeze, jambon, chicken croquettes + chorizo sausage along with local wine samplings. Aside from the food, Rita also provided us with interesting commentary on the city and took us to areas that we might not have discovered on our own. All that to say: Don’t hesitate!Rita was fabulous
