The great outdoors!
Guilherme, our guide was a delight! He was very knowledgeable of the area and you could tell he loves nature and deeply cares for the environment. As older tourists, the hike to the lagoon had a few challenges but he never made us feel less. He showed patience and care. This was an adventure so worth the final destination. The waterfall and lagoons at both spots were magnificent and so refreshing after hiking!
Lunch in the village was amazing and a great opportunity to try true Portuguese dishes, Muito bem, so delicious. Touring the village was fascinating. Guilherme shared many interesting facts about the community. He gave us a great sense of the history of the area. A nice touch was the opportunity to plant a tree in the National Park!

Good Experience to Book
Really good day out and Tiago was an excellent tour guide. The trip is well worth it, some of the views were not able to be seen because of low cloud cover ... but you cannot control the weather. We also went into the volcanic pools ... it was raining but warm so we went in anyway. (you are already wet anyway!!!)
Would recomend and no issues with the experience delivered.

Jose communicated when he was gonna be there and was very positive and knowledgeable throughout the whole trip. We learned lots and so happy we use this company to go to Sintra. I think the hotel pick up added a lot where we didn’t have to worry about going somewhere and at the end of the tour we were just dropped right back off at our hotel.

What an amazing day from...
What an amazing day from start to finish! This tour is such a great way to see so many of Madeira’s most beautiful places in one day. Every stop was unique, from the stunning natural pools at Porto Moniz to the breathtaking views at Seixal, the magical Fanal Forest, and the incredible Skywalk.
Our tour guide, Michael, was fantastic. He was really funny, friendly, and made sure we got the most out of the whole experience. He shared lots of interesting information and made the day enjoyable from beginning to end.
You get to see so much, and it’s definitely worth the money. I’d also recommend taking your swimwear so you can enjoy the natural pools. You can safely leave your belongings in the tour vehicle while you swim, and there are facilities to get changed at the stops.
This was one of the highlights of our holiday, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Madeira!

Glad we did this trip
Great trip. Obidos Village was beautiful and I wish we had a little more time there. Forte de Sao Miguel stop for lunch was nice. Walk down to the beach area and eat down there instead of where they recommend. Lots of great restaurants with a view. Lots of stores around there too. The basilica of Fatima and the Batalha Monastery were beautiful.

Madeira West of Island Tour
West Side Tour by Dino in small mini bus for total of 7 people. Dino was a really pleasant and knowledgeable guide. We worked our way through the schedule. No rushing / but still plenty of time at each location. We were staying in Funchal and didn't rent a car, so getting out for a day visiting areas we couldn't get to on foot was fantastic. We visited lots of places, including a gorgeous village, Funal Forest and even got to watch a local car rally !!!

Half Day Trip to Braga & Guimares
Our Tour Guide, Bruno A and driver, Nuno were amazing! Bruno was enthusiastic, kind and ensured that all of us has oppotunities to take photos and explore on our own at each part of the trip. Bruno A flawlessly translated the tour in both French and English to accomodate all members in our group. Pick up and meeting point were easy to find; they even provided a 12minute grace period for those were running late. 11/10 tour and would recommend booking with Living Tours! With your booking, you get some perks like a free walking tour or discount in the area you’re visiting.

Beautiful Sintra!
Margarida was a fantastic driver. There was a lot of traffic that day and she called to tell us she was going to be a little late ( maybe 20 mins) more time to enjoy our morning coffee. We did a half day at Sintra. she showed us all of the highlights, including the outside areas of the palace, the Moorish castle, and a little bit of the downtown. She was knowledgeable and efficient. She did a good job of whetting our appetite for a longer stay in Sintra! Thank you Margarida for such a a great day!

Fabulous Full Day at Sintra and surrounding villages
The tour was a fabulous way to see Portugal
in a day. We started in Lisbon and toured all day and into the evening. Alberto was a font of knowledge and interesting stories. He set a relaxed pace with site seeing, shopping and time for food and drink breaks to relax. Highlights included the western most point of continental Europe, Sintra of course, stops at 2 beaches, CaisCai for dinner and shopping.

If you travel in summer
Lisbon weather in summer is quite hot, be ready to drink some water and walk . For women, there’s many areas to climb steps, dress properly. I always heard about pickpockets in the city of Lisbon, I took my precautions before I started the journey, but honestly I didn’t see any activity of people around that could it engage on that activity. With my personal experience on this tour I can say that the pickpockets stories are a little bit exaggerated. Be aware and careful everywhere you go in this planet , anyway . Always use your common sense and enjoy your vacation.

Magical Day
We enjoyed the variety of sites and activities on this itinerary. Our tour was made even more special by our delightful guide, Silvia. The island stories and island insights she shared added to the delightful day. Highly recommend this tour and Silvia!

Porto Day Trip
Great full‑day trip from Lisbon to Porto. Everything was smooth and well‑organized, and our guide Tiago was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Porto was beautiful, and the balance of guided time and free exploration was perfect. Highly recommended.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Taking day trips in Portugal is one of the best ways to experience some of the top sights outside of the cities of Porto and Lisbon. Experience the heritage of making port wine in the Douro Valley, an easy trip from Porto. Or, get picked up in Lisbon and visit Sintra, a region dotted with former royal palaces and UNESCO World Heritage sites. Options further afield, yet still accessible as day trips, include a Jeep tour from Porto to Peneda-Gerês National Park, known for its hiking trails and scenic waterfalls.
