Susana was wonderful
Susana was an amazing guide. She was like family by the end of the trip. We will 100% come back for more tours just to visit and catch up with her. She knows everything. We are big history fans and her knowledge and passion was contagious. 10/10 a must do tour if your in Portugal. The highlight of the trip.

Great tour. We gained a lot of knowledge about Portuguese history. We were able to do a lot in a one day. Our guide, Rodrigo, was excellent. He was funny, as well as being knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to do another tour with him.

Really enjoyed this tour....
Really enjoyed this tour. The UNESCO sites have amazing architecture and history, yet are not overrun with large crowds. Nuno was our guide for the day. He took the time to find out our interests and stopped at a couple of other places that he thought would interest us.

Book Nuno!!
Our day with Nuno was one of the highlights of our time in Portugal.
The history of Tomar, the Knights Templar, the Convent of Christ, and Alcobaça was fascinating, but what made this tour unforgettable was Nuno himself. He has a remarkable way of bringing history to life while weaving in personal stories and life experiences that make every conversation meaningful.
When lunchtime came, Nuno politely insisted it was our family time. But we pulled the classic Asian move and convinced him to join us anyway! Looking back, we're so glad we did. Sharing a meal together allowed us to hear more about his life, Portugal, and the values that shaped him. By the end of lunch, he no longer felt like our guide...he felt like family.
Nuno is thoughtful, genuine, and incredibly wise. My husband and Nuno connected instantly, talking as if they had been lifelong friends. He made us feel not only welcomed in Portugal, but like we belonged there.
If you're looking for more than a tour....if you want meaningful conversations, authentic stories, and a guide who truly cares about the people he meets...book Nuno!! You won't just leave with beautiful photos. You'll leave with a friend.
Thank you, Nuno, for sharing your country, your wisdom, and a part of your life with our family. We'll never forget it.

Remarkable Experience
My husband and I really enjoyed this tour , experience, everything about the tour was intentional from the start till the finish. Each phase of the tour bought an amazing experience that was very different. Fredrico was a very good guide that went above and beyond the usual routine to make sure that we were safe and sound throughout our trip. My husband and I highly recommend this guided tour and especially with Frederico. Thanks for all the great pictures and especially the meal at Costa Bravo and their exceptional staff!

Amazing! Pedro, our guide, went above and beyond to ensure our experience is memorable. He is very knowledgeable, kind and attentive . The trip is private, so he ensured that its is per our pace.
The tour itself is great. Places we visited are well worth visiting for sure. Thanks to Pedro, we learned a lot.
I highly recommend.
