It was a very nice tour. The driver, Antonio is an excellent tour guide. The car was very clean and comfortable. We got to many places in a few hours.
I had to cancel a pickup and custom tour due to American Airlines’ performance. I learned of the flight cancellation and notified my driver well in advance. I also notified the Welcome customer service team and sent all documents verifying issues outside my control. I asked for a refund. The rep reviewed the ask and declined saying they sent to the driver anyway and paid him and that I missed my flight. Both inaccurate and false. They have all evidence to the contrary. I don’t cancel due to whim or a changed mind. I don’t even get to Lisbon due to airline problems. Don’t punish the customer who acted in good faith. I wouldn’t use this company.

The tour was very good , the driver was very intelligent and knew a lot . I had difficulty to understand him in English , also the car wasn’t suitable for the tour. It made a lot of noise and wasn’t comfortable

I highly recommend this tour in Lisbon. We had an amazing time exploring Lisbon thanks to this particular tour. I highly recommend Rui Pedro Cardoso as your driver. We had him for this tour and couldn't have a better driver than him. Apart from being a good driver, he was very helpful and showed us around as a professional tour leader would do. This sightseeing exceeded out expectations.
