Lisbon day trip with history and beaches
Paolo was incredible! Very nice guy and excellent driver. He allowed us to deviate a bit from the planned itinerary without any issue at all. He also gave us information at the key points then allowed us time to explore for ourselves as well. Overall wonderful day trip from Lisbon!

Highly recommend!
This tour was a wonderful full-day experience! Our guide, Anastacia, is delightful and so knowledgeable -- she really made it a informative and very fun day. The private aspect of the tour made it easy to adjust the pace, and I had the opportunity to ask her all kinds of questions about what we were seeing and life in Portugal in general. I have already recommended the experience to friends, who have booked, and would not hesitate to reach out to Kitzel Tours in the future.

Amazing views from so many different vantage points
Our guide Paulo was wonderful! He was very accommodating with our interests. As a result of reading the recommendations about the trip we asked for an alternative lunch restaurant and loved it! The views were spectacular. We walked a total of two miles to the various sites and it was spread over 8 hours. Perfect day!

Wealth of knowledge
Our guide, Joao, put us at ease immediately and continued to offer lots of information. The day passed too quickly but memories remain. The views in the national park were worth the photos and lunch was superb: Joao organized window seats upstairs. Thoroughly enjoyed the day.

João will go the extra mile and great communication
We booked this tour and Joao was our tour guide he is extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and sets priorities for his tour members. We arrived just a day before our tour and did not have any euros and the store would not take my credit card he offered to take care of it until I could pay him back.

A beautiful day with a little bit of everything
We took a private tour with Paulo and it had everything we could ask for - old castles, history and beautiful vistas. We saw two different castles, a market, spent some time at a beach in Setubal (water is cold but refreshing), saw incredible views up Arrabida, and had a drink in the beautiful town of sesimbra overlooking the water. Paulo was perfect and made sure we saw all of it and was very accommodating of all of our requests, and provided us with lots of information about the areas we were in without being overwhelming. It was an absolutely perfect day - even our teenagers loved it. The only thing we would have changed was where we stopped for lunch. We went to a fixed price fish restaurant, and the food was good, but everyone has to get the all you can eat fish option and the service was slow and it took up a much longer part of our day than we wanted it to, and was a bit pricey. Everything else was perfect.

Fantastic tour
Our guide Joao was exceptional. He was extremely knowledgeable and we enjoyed many pleasant conversations about the sites we were visiting as well as Lisbon in general. We booked another tour with him to see Lisbon.

Fabulous chance to experience the beauty of Portugal
Jaoa was very informative and kind as he took my adult daughter and me on a lovely tour of the countryside and small towns. The scenery was spectacular and he gave us some time to absorb it. We loved visiting the large indoor market, taking in breathtaking views while in the park and at the Cabo, the visit to a tile making workshop, and the wine tasting. We enjoyed a delicious lunch - got the cod special. Jaoa is a very safe driver and shared his wealth of knowledge and love of his country with us.
