Edi Cruz was our guide...
Edi Cruz was our guide for this trip and we had an awesome day. He was friendly and much passionate about history and had an impressive knowledge about Portugal. Pena palace was a different kind of a palace and Regaleira was intensive one of a kind experience. Overall we had an unforgettable day with pleasant company.

This was an awesome tour!...
This was an awesome tour! Ket was a wonderful tour guide! Very informative, kind, fun and shared lots of great stories and very entertaining. We learned a lot on this tour. We’re not particularly religious, but she made it very interesting. In addition, all the places we visited were beautiful & so much to offer. Worth the trip for sure!

Fantastic day out
Had an amazing day out with Ivo. His passion and excitement was present throughout the day. He gave excellent historical accounts of the sites, his favourite locations to visit, and managed a large tour group very well given the scale of the tour and the distances walked.
Sintra is the best out of the lot - even Pena Palace. The Initiation Well is worth the walk.
Special mention goes to his counterpart driving the bus (apparently for 26 years now). Excellent driver, managing tight streets throughout sintra and the like, with ease and poise.

A wonderful tour from...
A wonderful tour from start to finish! Both our guide and driver were excellent—highly professional, friendly, and attentive. Everything was exceptionally well organized, with great attention to timing and smooth coordination throughout. Communication and customer service were outstanding. A truly enjoyable experience that I would highly recommend!

An excursion without waste that is worth doing!
The visit to Regaleira, Pena Castle, Cabo da Roca was spectacular. Camila is not only a super friendly guide, who was attentive to everyone's needs at all times, but she also personally took care of making things easier for those who had mobility problems. But also the historical knowledge she has and the clear way in which she transmits it is spectacular. It is not very common to find a guide of her quality. Congratulations and thank you Camila!

Incredible Experience & Outstanding Team!
We had an absolute blast on this excursion! The entire team was fantastic, professional, and kept everything running smoothly.
A special shout-out to our driver, Bruno, for keeping us safe and comfortable throughout the journey. Huge thanks as well to Tina (our French guide) and our wonderful American/Spanish guide—everyone’s energy, depth of knowledge, and passion really brought the experience to life. The whole tour was top-notch from start to finish.
What impressed me most was how seamlessly and skillfully the crew handled a very difficult situation. When a couple on the tour consistently failed to respect the schedule and group timing, the guides made the tough call to keep the main group moving on schedule, leaving them to catch up. It was handled with complete professionalism, fairness, and grace, ensuring that the rest of the group's time was respected and our itinerary stayed on track.
I couldn't recommend this tour enough. Outstanding service, beautiful sights, and an exceptional team!

This trip was exactly...
This trip was exactly what we were looking for— round trip from Lisbon to Obidos, Nazare and Porto back to Lisbon. Not all the trips we saw brought you back to Lisbon. Our guide, Joaol, aka “Johnny” was a wealth of information. He gave us a lot of information about the history of Portugal and provided information about each site we stopped
at. We were able to spend some time on our own at each stop to explore and/or shop. Bring euros because not all the shops or restaurants take credit cards. We opted for the upgrade with lunch. Joaol took us to a nice restaurant where we had authentic Portuguese food that was delicious and plentiful.
Alex, our bus driver, was great. He got us to each destination safely. (NOt always an easy feat, as some of streets were not built for a big tour bus.) The bus was air conditioned and very comfortable and smooth. It has free WiFi and plugs to recharge our phones.

Great Day Trip from Lisbon
We had a great day with Ricardo. He is a wonderful guide who made the effort to get to know everyone in the group and provided interesting and useful information on the places we visited. He encouraged active participation from everyone in the group. We have been on many tours in the last three weeks, and he was the best guide we had.

Sintra Day Trip
Our family had the pleasure of visiting Sintra with one of the loveliest people we’ve met in Portugal. Teresa picked us up from exactly where we were staying, and she was very knowledgeable about the beautiful places we were visiting, but also quickly picked up on what we already knew and was able to pivot and personalize the tour for our interests. She was kind, funny, personable, and made our trip to Sintra and Caiscais one that we will never forget! Just know that she is beloved for a reason, folks come up to her and recognize her, hug her, and now we understand why. We would highly recommend visiting and learning from her.

Highly recommended!
Beautiful experience, highly recommended!
The perfect balance between guidance and relaxation: interesting explanations about the monuments, never heavy, alternated with moments of chill music.
We tasted several wines, all different from each other and excellent.
And to finish, an incredible sunset!

A pleasant experience on our excursion.
It was a pleasant experience, we really wanted to visit Fátima in particular and we fulfilled our wish; in addition to that, we ate wonderfully in Nazaré, and we experienced history by seeing a walled city in Óbidos. Many thanks to Elisa; she was very attentive to us and knowledgeable about the subject.

Senior friendly private tour of Sintra
Our group of 4 senior adults with some walking limitations scheduled a senior-friendly private tour of Sintra. Rui, our guide, was excellent at customizing the tour to maximize our sightseeing given our interests and limitations. He was knowledgeable, interesting, and accommodating. The tour was fun and informative.
