About local David

Personable, knowledgable, professional.

David was splendid! Lisbon native with perfect English.

About local António
9 March 2025
Excellent tour.

António was an excellent tour guide. We took a walking tour. Even though it rained he found places of covering for us. His knowledge of Portugal's history was extensive and he included the history and stories of its diverse culture. I highly recommend him!

Victoria
About local Luis
4 March 2025
Fantastic day

We spent the day with Luis who took us to Sintra and the Pena Palace. It was a wonderful day; he was informative, friendly, thoughtful, and pivoted to accommodate some weather changes to pack as much into the day as possible. His knowledge about Portugal history is worthy of an historian! We would love to have another tour with him in the future and highly recommend him.
