Honestly I wouldnt do anything different in my stay in Lisbon, Alessio was an amazing tour guide (private tour guide) and literally showed us EVERY spot in Lisbon, Belem and Sintra… also took us to very local spots for the best sunset ever in Lisbon, for best pastries and Portuguese food. Also note that Alessio was very knowledgeable about the city, culture and history… a funny guy indeed. I highly recommend this tour as is the best “all-in” experience.

Filipe was awesome! He brings a lot of energy and knows his stuff cold. Very engaging and is very interesting with all his knowledge. He was born and raised in Lisbon but has worked and traveled the world. The tour is amazing and Filipe extended our tour by a couple of hours which enabled us to see more beautiful areas. We stopped for a terrific lunch at 3 Gomes. We asked Filipe to join us and grateful he did. We got a chance to get to know Filipe and enjoyed our conversation. The van was very comfortable. He certainly knows his way around Sintra and Penta as well as the Atlantic coast. We got a lot of pictures. Also, Filipe took 50 plus pictures and forwarded them to us. I can’t say enough and he made the day most remarkable and easy. A must do tour with him when visiting Lisbon. You will not regret it!!

Our guide, Adriano, was exceptional. He was friendly, very knowledgeable, and helpful. He made our day so much fun. He brought us to castles/palaces and to Cascais, and told us many interesting facts and history. He picked us up and dropped us off at our Airbnb. Highly recommend.

A wonderful tour for a beautiful, insightful experience. Ana provided superb knowledge, astute communication, and an affable personality along with great patience as well, that was much appreciated. The great beauty of the landscape, and the fascinating history of the settlement provided a memorable event that we were fortunate to be part of. We look forward to our next tour of her company.

Great “out and about” half day from Lisbon. Beautiful coastline, interesting history, and a world class palace. Jaoa was a great guide…knowledgeable and great company. Just enough time on each stop.
