Our guide, Paulo, was...

Donna_C, Nov 2025

Our guide, Paulo, was exceptional and the tour was one of the best we’ve ever taken. Paulo, is well versed in the history and culture of these areas and surrounding areas. He knew where the secret gems were and allowed us to take as much or as little time as we wanted at each site. The restaurant he took us too was one of the best, the food and service were top notch. This was an exceptional trip and would highly recommend the tour and Paulo.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Hello, Mrs. Donna. It's a pleasure to know that our team, and especially Paulo, exceeded your expectations. Our goal is always to offer the best possible service. We hope to see you again soon. Best wishes to you and your family. Pedro

Excellent option for families.

Matthew_C, Jul 2024

Extremely comfortable vehicle with plenty of space for our group. Our guide Pedro was very knowledgeable and friendly, also extremely patient as we were traveling with our 4 year old son who Pedro paid extra close attention to in order to engage him during the tours. Well worth the money to have this level of private tour experience.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Mr. Matthew, I don't have words to describe my gratitude for your kind words. It was a huge pleasure to drive you and your lovely family. Thanks you very much for your patience has well and congratulations for giving such a good education to your adorable son. Always count on me to drive you in Portugal. Cheers Pedro

Sintra and Cascais was a must!

Elizabeth_L, Apr 2024

Pedro was awesome! very knowledgeable and friendly with our group! We would totally recommend this tour! so fun!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Hello dear Elizabeth It was a pleasure to meet you and your friends. Your group was very fun and joyful. I will be grateful to see you in the future 🙏

Tour guide never showed up.

Patty_K, May 2022

Extremely disappointed that tour guide decided to not show up at our hotel at 8:45 am as agreed for a full day (8 hour) private tour of Sintra and Casciais for a party of 6. It was our final day in Lisbon and was going to be the highlight of our trip. He did not contact us to cancel. We stood outside our hotel for him to show for over an hour. He did not answer our calls or respond to email. We were so frustrated and was finally able to find a phone number for Viator. They also tried to reach tour guide, but no luck. The only thing they could do was to offer us a refund which will take 2 weeks. Viator should be confirming with tour guide prior to each tour. We are in Europe for next 4 weeks and have 2 more tours set up with Viator. I’m scared they won’t show up. I would not recommend booking with this company.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Dear Traveller First of all, we are sad to know you got a bad day. Second, it happend some techinchal issue for the booking to be confirmed with out our approval. We are making our efforts to avoid this episode to repeat in the future.

Great day!!

dengen2018, Nov 2019

The perfect day spent with a Pedro. Excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Pena Palace was incredible but our favorite part was the Port tasting. Yum!!

It was ok, but we were expecting more for the price paid

ZedDubai, Aug 2019

Basically, if you spend some time to research, and rent a car, you can do this on your own. The drive/guide was very professional, courteous, spoke perfect English, and was telling us about each place during the drive there. My only expectation is that he would tour with us and explain more on each site, whereas it was not the case, he was waiting in the car.

Response from Host, Sep 2019

Dear Traveller We aim for the best service, please mail us to admin@portugalsensationtours.pt Explaining us what was less good on you experience.

Solution for enjoyable day

Francis H, May 2019

Left a little early (big plus) for the trip to Pena Palace avoiding both transportation hassles and very long lines (some relatively short waits but the palace was not jammed inside). We would suggest scheduling should be 30 min earlier. Driver was very knowledgeable both on the palace tour and after, and we were asked about things that interested us which shaped some of the rest of the day (shopping, sightseeing, lunch). Lunch was confusing when we booked because it was not addressed in the promotional materials, so we brought some snacks which turned out to be unnecessary - Delightful lunch out near the west most point of Europe. Returned to our pickup point - the doorstep of our hotel in Lisbon. Nice day!

Response from Host, Jun 2019

Tank you very much for your kind review. We will take care of the confusion about lunch in the tour booking page. Hope to see you next time 😁

Highlight of our Portugal Vacation

676ronl, May 2019

Our tour with Pedro was the highlight of our vacation. He has a very welcoming and engaging personality that made us feel like he was more of a friend than a tour guide. His driving was very safe and smooth. His knowledge of the areas we visited and of general Portuguese history was phenomenal. We chatted with him for the entire day. It was such a great opportunity to spend a day with a native of Portugal, we valued getting to know him and the wonderful Portuguese culture.

Response from Host, Jun 2019

So kind of you for such fantastic review. It was really a pleasure to have you with us. You wore a excellent passengers and in the end friends. Hope to see you soon. 😁
