Fabulous Tour Guide!

David Monteiro was our tour guide when we were in Lisbon, Portugal. We found David to be very personable and knowledgeable. He observed that some of the people in our party of 6 had trouble walking up hills, and he quickly and effortlessly altered our tour to meet our needs. David is a very enthusiastic tour guide, who loves showing off his beautiful country. If we ever have the opportunity to return to Portugal, we would not hesitate to book any and all of our tours with David.

Dear Harriet, Thank you so much for your review of our Lisbon Half Day Tour. It was a pleasure taking your lovely group of 6 around the highlights of Lisbon and adapting to your needs. We always try out best to make sure everyone feels comfortable on our tours, no matter their disabilities. Glad to hear you would not hesitate booking with us again and I am hopeful that happens sooner than later as you didn’t spend much time here before your cruise. Best Regards, David Monteiro

Dear Kalyani, Thank you so much for your review of our Lisbon Half Day Tour. It was a pleasure taking you and your sons around our capital city and guide you through some of the neighborhoods as a local. Was a bit sad that you already had your plans for Porto lined up, as I am sure we would have a terrific time had you booked everything with us. Looking forward to seeing you again in the future. Best Regards, David Monteiro

An exceptional experience!

It was an exceptional experience! David, our tour guide and driver, was great!! He treated us like family, he was very helpful, kind and went out of his way to make us feel safe and happy. We had a very clean van everyday and his driving is very safe. I am looking forward to work with him again in the near future!! Great guy!

David Monteiro is highly recommendable!

David Monteiro was excellent. He was very personable and very keen to the needs of his clients. He went above and beyond his scope of responsibilities. He made sure that we don’t waste time while touring, bought our snacks and sardines for us. He’s very good in communication and always made sure that we are comfortable!

Operator response

Dear Auntie Mila, Thank you so much for your review of our tours together. I am always looking for ways to make sure my guests have the best time possible so sometimes I have to go above my scope of responsibilities. I am glad we were able to enjoy several days traveling around Portugal and Spain together and hope you and your group can return soon. Best Regards, David Monteiro

We really enjoyed our tour of Lisbon. Our guide, David, did a great job of showing us the highlights of Lisbon and providing detailed information along the way! He made sure we experienced the specific things we wanted to do and to try. Highly recommend!

Operator response

Dear Ingrid, Thank you so much for your review of our Lisbon Half Day Tour that turned into a Full Day. The moment we met I guess we all clicked and when you asked if you could do a full day instead of half day I knew it was going to be a great one! It was lovely meeting you both and enjoying the best Lisbon has to offer for longer than was originally planned. Looking forward to seeing you back soon! Best Regards, David Monteiro

David is the only guide I will use from now on in Portugal!l

David is the absolute best guide I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with. I joined one of David's tours with a friend earlier in the week and I immediately booked a second tour with him. He is a wealth of knowledge, very personable, and he is really interested in showing you the best and most beautiful that Portugal has to offer. I felt so at home with his tour of Lisbon. I look forward to taking another tour with him next year. Thank you, David!

Operator response

Dear Tamara, Thank you so much for your wonderful review of our Lisbon Half Day Tour. It was a great pleasure to meet you and your friend Denise for the first tour to Sintra and then take a second one to see the beautiful highlights of the city of Lisbon. I am very flattered that you will consider me for your next trips and also thank you for connecting me with your friends that are coming to Portugal. Looking forward to seeing you as soon as possible! Best Regards, David Monteiro
