Exceed Your Expectations - Count On That

Robert_S, Sep 2025

Christiano (Chris) and his 55 year old VW micro bus are the very best way to travel to Sintra and more. Knowledgeable, an excellent driver, and very personable, he will make sure you have a truly enjoyable experience that will put you more in touch with Portugal. Driving out along the coast road itself was a visual pleasure. We had time to explore Cascais, he made a side trip for us to Cabo da Roca (must be seen) and took us to a restaurant that we would’ve never found and where we had a fantastic lunch with a view that cannot be beat. In Sintra he deliberately steered us away from the Pena Palace as being too crowded (a victim of its own success) to Monserrate which was a true delight & less crowded (yeah, we’ll have to explain to friends why we didn’t go to Pena but we’ll help them wish they’d gone to Monserrate). During the day his “boss”, better known as his wife Laura sent info on restaurant recommendations which we appreciated. Chris alone is enough to use his guide & driving services and with his cool, fully restored & comfortable VW microbus . . . you just have to do it.

Hello Bob, thank you for your very complimentary comment, we appreciate it! It is our job to advise our customers, and we know from experience that the beautiful Monserrate Palace is much less well known, less crowded, and therefore more pleasant to visit. Thank you for placing your trust in us! We look forward to seeing you again soon. Best regards, Laura (the "boss" and the wife 🤗) & Christiano

Awesome

This adventure was fantastic! We gave up an included tour with our group to do this instead! Cristiano is amazing! Totally flexible, we could longer some places, and less at others at our discretion. He took us places the tour busses couldn’t go! He was funny, engaging and knowledgeable. He totally altered our pick up time and location for us due our scheduling stuff weirdly, and dropped us off at a different spot too! Book it you won’t regret it!

We enjoyed a great day as Christiano drove us along the coast, stopped at several places with great views, and had an amazing lunch.

Laura and Christiano were amazing tour guides! So professional and personable, provided great information and enjoyable conversation! The VW van was beautiful and such a unique way to travel to the beautiful sights! The restaurant for lunch was incredible …..delicious food and wine….and amazing views…. And great service. Reminded us of Santorini! I cannot say enough of how much we enjoyed our day…. So grateful that I found the tour on YouTube! Definitely was a highlight of our Portugal vacation! If you like unique trip experiences…. This will fit the bill! Thank you Laura and Christiano for the wonderful time!
