Transfer from Lisbon to Porto private tour and guide

Joao from Kitzel Tours made our transfer from Lisbon to Porto feel like a memorable sightseeing day rather than just a drive. He planned fantastic stops in Óbidos, Nazaré, and Aveiro, giving us time to walk around and experience each place without ever feeling rushed. Joao was warm, professional, and shared interesting insights about the areas along the way. We were also traveling with our dog, and he went out of his way to make sure the trip was comfortable for all of us. The whole experience was smooth, relaxed, and thoughtfully organized. If you're traveling between Lisbon and Porto, this is a great way to do it. Highly recommend!

Over the past few years, our lawyer, business manager, cousin, and dentist with her whole family, have traveled with João or his wife Anastasia from Kitzel Tours. Everyone recommended them enthusiastically. My husband, son and I toured Portugal with João (John) for a week in September 2025, driving from Lisbon to Porto stopping to see crusader castles and up the Duro Valley for the wine. We even watched them stomp the grapes to raucous accordion music. Since we are into our 70s and 80s, João interviewed us by phone before designing daily tours. His sense of timing to avoid the worst crowds, his flexibility, rearranging schedules on the fly to accommodate us, his sense of humor, and his encyclopedic knowledge were extraordinary. We asked him to pick authentic local restaurants, rather than tourist-oriented ones and had delicious, reasonably priced meals in rooms where we were the only foreigners. And when driving back from Porto to Lisbon, I developed a cough, he stopped in Tomar, found a pharmacy open on Sunday, and took us to a little local restaurant where I had one of the best meals of my life. Traveling with Kitzel for ourselves, families, and friends proved to be the best way to fully experience Portugal
