Our guide Lourenco’s was outstanding. He was on time, had a great personality and knew his history. We did a private tour and I would recommend it. It allowed us to take our time, see the historical sights we wanted to see, and hit the hotspots. Please thank our tour guide for giving us such a great experience. Job well done

Absolutely great experience. Ricardo was amazing from the start and in great communication. He was extremely helpful, kind and knowledgeable. He helped my 2 and 5 year old find “challenges” at every spot and they loved it. We only had one day to spend in Lisbon and it was such a delight to have done this experience. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Tour of Lisbon with a Phenomenal Tour Guide

sharon_G, May 2026
Filipe was an amazing tour guide. He had an itinerary that took us all over Lisbon seeing it like a native. His knowledge of Lisbon’s history added a dimension to our tour that we truly appreciate. He kindly acted as our photographer capturing photos of us at various highlights giving us memories to cherish. He ensured that we had unique Lisbon food and drink experiences that gave us a taste of Lisbon’s charm. This was an amazing experience and we thoroughly enjoyed our day with Filipe learning all about his city. He was an incredible tour guide. This tour with this tour guide is a must in Lisbon. By the end of the day Filipe was family. Thank you Filipe for a wonderful day. It was such a pleasure getting to know you and your beautiful city. You gave us an experience we will never forget.

Rafael was a very good driver, he was friendly as well as knowledgeable. He also shared recommendations of other sights to see in the city after our tour.

Great Lisbon Experience with family

Adriano was an incredible guide and made sure to ask what we wanted to see. He offered great suggestions as well. His passion & knowledge of Portugal made the tour really special.

Kind Gracious and Outstanding guided experience

Kirsten_S, May 2026
Did our group ever luck out with guide Paulo! From the moment he picked us up it was go time to see and experience as much of Lisbon, Sintra, Penna Palace, Quinta Da Ragaleira and so much more! Every moment along the way he was pointing out historical facts, current facts, and giving us the best opportunity to see as much as possible along the way. Walking thru the sites it was incredible ot have our own private guide sharing the history (good, bad & funny) about each location. Paulo was incredibly kind and generous with each of group (5 women in their 50's), making sure we had the most enjoyable experience at all locations. He took pictures of our group without hesitation, and even made sure to stop at his personal favourite bakery for fresh Pastel de Natas. One of our travellers was ill the morning we left for our day. On our way back to Lisbon she was feeling better, and wanted to be able to at minimum experience Pink Street. Paulo drove back to our hotel to pick her up without hesitation to ensure she was able to see what was available before we left for our next destination. Once he dropped us off he was going to be "off the clock" with our group, knowing we were "obvious" tourists, he parked the car, directed us to where we wanted to walk, told us to take our time, and he would be waiting to take us back to the hotel. Paulo truly made our experience in Lisbon and surrounding areas one to remember.

Fine but could be better

Leah_S, Apr 2026
If you're looking for a wonderful nice driver to take you around this is a great option but if you're looking for more you might want to choose a different tour. Our guide was early to pick us up and everything went smoothly, but I wish we had used another company because we did not go to all the stops we wanted and the tour ended 30 minutes early. We were mostly just dropped at each spot with little to no guidance. Our last stop wasn't even one we requested, so I wish we could have done more. There also wasn't the bottle water that should have been included, not a big issue but we could have brought if we knew.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear Leah Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We´re sorry to hear that your experience did not fully meet your expectations. Our tour is carefully designed to balance the time spent at each location while providing a comfortable and enjoyable overall experience. However we understand that you would have preferred to visit more sites and we truly appreciate you sharing this perspective. Regarding the water, we regret if this is was not clearly communicated. We will review how this information is presented to ensure future guests have clearer expectations. Your feedback is very important to us as it helps improve both our service and the overall experience we offer. Kinds regards!

Decent sights, Good people, Poor Amenities

Said_Z, Mar 2026
Pretty nice itinerary and sights. Beautiful day. Perfect length. But, misleading features. Van had no functioning AC which meant open windows and much wind noise if you didn't want to cook. Rear had no opening windows, though very nice Mercedes Van, still way too hot for rear passengers. Also, no advertised wifi either. Both affected our overall experience. Sights and stops pretty good. We enjoyed Nelson, driver, but not really a "guide" even thought this was billed as a "half day tour". Value about 50% of what we paid, but won't give us back our limited time in Lisbon, so...hope your booking turns out better!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Mr. Said, Thanking for taking the time to share your review with us. We truly appreciate all feedback from our guests, as it helps us maintain and improve the quality of our services. However, after carefully reviewing our records, we were unable to identify any tour guide named Nelson within our team. Additionally we did not operate the Lisbon Private Driver service during the week mentioned in your review. For this reason, it appears that the experience described may not be related to our company. We kindly ask that this review be considered or removed, as it may have been posted on our page by mistake. If you would like to discuss this further or believe there may have been a misunderstanding, please feel free to contact us directly. We will be more than happy to assist you. Thank you for your understanding. With Swingo you go further

Great way to start off our visit to Lisbon!

Maria_T, Feb 2026
I originally booked a tuktuk tour but switched last minute after I saw rain in the forecast on Feb 8, 2026. We had Ricardo as our guide and from the very first interaction, we knew he would be amazing! Although it was a rainy day in Lisbon, he customized our tour especially for my Dad (he uses a walker) so that we could see as many things as we could in the 4 hour tour we booked. He was very attentive to our needs, ensuring he would drop us off as close as possible to the entrance of each of the sites and gave us free time to explore around and take pictures. We were able to try Pasteis de Belem and had a ginja shot close to Rossio Square! Highlight of the tour for sure! He also shared some local recommendations on what to do after, where to eat etc. Only downside was that the van wasn't as comfortable as it could be - the seats you could feel the metal underneath on the middle row and with the cold and rain, the windows fogged up inside and we had to wipe the inside windows down to be able to see sites that we would pass by. This is beyond the tour guide's control - Ricardo was a wonderful guide, had great stories to share and treated us like we were family! Obrigada!

My husband and I were kept intrigued and fascinated for 8 hours that passed by quickly. He is not only talented in the history of Lisbon and surrounding areas but a great story teller that is warm and delightful. Filipe D is enchanting guide of scores that we have through the years and he is the very top 1%….. be sure to get him. He is marvelous and we learned so much including a tasty stop that was the best!!!! Mea & David

Ricardo was an exceptional guide who made our time in Lisbon truly memorable. He combined deep knowledge of the city’s history with engaging stories that brought each place to life. Throughout the tour, he was courteous, flexible, and attentive to our interests, tailoring the experience perfectly to what we wanted to see and learn. His communication was excellent from start to finish, and he even shared wonderful recommendations for us to explore on our own. We both highly recommend Ricardo to anyone looking for an insightful and enjoyable private tour of Lisbon.

Fatima Half Day on Friday, October 31, 2025

Pauline_M, Nov 2025
Daniela and Daniel picked up 10 Seniors at the Marriott at 2pm. It poured and rained for the one and a half hour ride to Fatima. We stopped at Centro Comercial Fatima for shopping. This place was huge with many artifacts. When we reached Fatima the first miracle happened. It stopped raining the entire time we visited Fatima. What a unique experience!! Daniela was our guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. We had free time to explore the property. We left Fatima in the dark. On the way back it rained again. Sometimes there were torrential downpours!!! The second miracle occurred when Daniela and Daniel reached our hotel safe and sound!!!!! Daniela and Daniel are great assets to Magnificat Tours and should be recognized. Thank you for an amazing tour!!! Sincerely, Richard Mosey Boston, Massachusetts

Lisbon Private Driver Tour for Four Hours

Pauline_M, Nov 2025
Paulo and Ana picked 12 of Seniors at the Marriott in Lisbon at 9amon November 1, 2025. They drove us to many great sights. First, the LISBOA sign in the park. Great picture taking. Next, the Torre de Belem, statute, and a shopping area. Next, to the Monument to the Discoveries. Gigantic statutes on the waterfront. Next, to Pasteis de Belem. This bakery was crowded. Paulo was able to get us inside the bakery. We watched a woman thru a glass window preparing the pastries. Then Paulo took us outside and showed us how to eat this delicacy the traditional way. We went back inside and purchased more delicious pastries. Then went shopping at the Next Door Shop. Next, we drove to Barrio Alto, for shopping and a viewpoint of the city. Next, Miradouro de Sao Pedro de Alcantara. Another spectacular viewpoint of the city. We saw the Virgin Mary enclosed in a glass case. Paulo and Ana spent well over our four hour tour with us. They were both very friendly and knowledgeable and should be recognized as great assets to the Swingo Tour Company. Ana even found a members picture box (camera) and returned it to the hotel. We then received a phone call from the Company. We really appreciate what Ana did!!!!!! Sincerely, Richard Mosey Boston, Massachusetts

A Wonderful Day

Mark_H, Oct 2025
We were fortunate to have Paulo as our driver. I made the mistake of booking him in a Monday when all the historic sites museums are closed…but Paulo gave us experiences and shared with us best practices when we do visit the sites. The time flew and we had a great day and really felt we got to see parts of Lisbon that we wouldn’t have seen had everything been open. We highly recommend.

We had only one day to see Lisbon, Sintra and Cascais. We were assigned the perfect person, Teresa at Swingo. She was the best! She spoke perfect English, extremely knowledgeable about her country and its customs. She was fun and entertaining as well teaching us the food Portugal is known for. She designed the tour based on our requests. It was absolutely the perfect day and we hope to see her again the next time we are in Lisbon.
