It was perfect! A bilingual guide that took everyone's interests into account. A small group of 6 people. Tourist attractions not too touristy and less crowded. Relevant information on the different villages crossed. We felt like we were on a private tour. At this price, I highly recommend this tour with Manuela!
It sucked! The driver didn’t bother to show up! I called a number Viator gave me I was told a tour guide was never assigned. Took us 40 mins to walk to pickup but had no idea who we were looking for once we arrived. Tho whole thing was a bust!!

Carlos was our driver from the airport to our hotel. He was so professional and friendly. He provided excellent advice in what to do while in Portugal. He even provided specific suggestions for place to go while we drove around the country. We enjoyed him so much we set up another tour of Sintra with him. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend their services!
Leila was amazing! So sweet and knowledgeable! And patient! Would recommend her and Viator to anyone!
Fantastic car service, love that they have 3 diff baby/child seat car options and you’re able to nominate baggage amounts so you get an appropriately sized car. Highly recommend!
Our day trip with Claudia was excellent. She made seeing Sintra and Quinta da Regaleira super easy. We went in August which was the busiest time of year. Claudia was able to drop us off and pickup right near the entrances, which saved some walking. She provided suggestions on where to eat in Sintra and some background on the area. She was a safe driver and our family of three were in great hands.
We had an amazing experience with our private driver for all day touring outside of Lisbon. Beast crowds and didn’t wait in any lines which was nice! Thank you

Wellcome provided a friendly and courteous service. Lisbon is a very nice and interesting city I recommend to everyone. I stayed at Turim Luxe Hotel and its location is very good for public transport.
Thank you for your review. We really appreciate your feedback and hope you will use our services again. To many more happy and safe adventures!
We had a driver which if that is all you want then you will be satisfied. Driver was great. However, we would liked to have a guide with more info and insights into the region as and sights.
I had a wonderful day touring with Nelson. I have some mobility issues and Nelson was able to adapt the tour so I would have the best time. He went above and beyond to provide assistance, show me the best views, and make sure I got excellent photos. When I showed interest in something (the fountains in Sinatra), he offered to take me to see similar ones. He’s very knowledgeable about the area and happy to help. I told him I didn’t expect to fall in love with Portugal, but because of his tour I did. I can’t wait to come back and bring my friends.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review! We appreciate the kind words and are delighted to hear that you had an excellent time on your sightseeing ride in Lisbon! We hope to see you again soon in one of our other 51 destinations worldwide!
