Leonel was very knowledgeable of the history and culture of Portugal. We went to the palace in Mafra and to the town of Ericiera. Very relaxed pace and so interesting! He was flexible and accommodated our pace. We never felt rushed. We appreciated the variety of sites.

Private all day custom tour
I could only give 5 stars but I would have given 100. Leonel was so knowledgeable about history and all the sites. We originally wanted to go to Pena palace, but he recommended not to, based on the time of year, and the amount of crowds. I appreciated his honesty and decided to let him schedule our tour. We went to Queluz palace and gardens, then we went to the shore and visited the sweetest fishing town, watched some surfers and had the most delicious food!! Last stop was Obidois, such a magical place. The whole day was just wonderful and magical!! And we got to bomb around in an orange VW electric buzz! We will definitely be looking him up next trip! Our group consisted of a 9yo girl, 18yo boy and 2 adults. Price was great for a full day of fun! Thank you again for all the amazing memories ❤️ I would have added photos, but it won't let me 😞

A truly authentic experience without the crowds. Highly recommend.
Leonel has done his research and is extremely passionate about the authenticity of the experience. We had a truly fantastic day. Felt like we really saw a part of the true Portugal. Met some amazing artisans and people who were truly genuine. It was very special. Avoiding the crowds was a real bonus too. Highly recommend the winery tour and tasting. It is an experience like no other. The wine was excellent too. Highly recommend Leonel for these non-Sintra tours.

The beauty of Portugal and the lovely people in this country .
Wonderful day exploring some of the smaller places of Portugal off of the main roads. Wine tasting at a lovely small winery, watching a master craftsman making clay pots, world class basket weaver working his trade. Visited a small seaside village for lunch with the locals. The buildings by the sea were painted blue and white. Charming with very narrow streets that were built before cars.
The National Palace was georgeous and amazing that it could be built without machinery. The many Kings and Queen’s truley did live in luxury even then. Saw example of the first King size bed.
Portugal is a beautiful country so glad we got to see a small part of it.
