We had an amazing experience with our driver from Lisbon to Peniche for our trip to the Berlengas. From the moment he picked us up, he went above and beyond — constantly checking the weather, keeping us updated, and making sure everything ran smoothly. He even messaged me the day before reminding us to bring sunscreen, which just shows how thoughtful and attentive he was. He truly looked out for all of us as a family and made the whole journey feel easy and stress-free. On the way back, he was just as attentive and professional. As for the Berlengas — absolutely breathtaking. Truly like something out of a dream. I think everyone should visit at least once. The weather we had was beautiful, and although the boat ride from Peniche was a bit rough due to the waves, once we arrived, everything was forgotten. The island is stunning, you can walk around, hike, enjoy the views, and relax. There are a couple of small restaurants, and honestly, some of the best coffee ever! Depending on the tides, they also offer cave tours, but due to rough waters, we weren’t able to go this time. Overall, it was an incredible experience from start to finish — highly recommend both the trip and the driver!

Susana was an awesome guide. The private tour was exactly what we were hoping for! Susana guided us to the best of Berlenga, Obidos, and Penice.

By booking 500€ a private excursion to an island I expected the private excursion to go to the island. However, the private excursion consisted of a transfer by car from the hotel (for me in Péniche) to the ferry departure at the barge port 3km away. From there you join the crowd that will gather on the ferry and you are abandoned 4 hours on an island where there is little to do but wait for your ferry that will come back to pick you up. If I plan to put 100€ the transfer price and 100€ the AR price of the ferry I wonder where the 500€ went... When I contacted the agency they replied that I had misunderstood. Is this excursion or private that I did not understand 🤔 Anyway, this day that was supposed to be the highlight of the holiday was a rotten day and considering the amount spent I could not organize another cruise (we find from 300€) with more serious agencies. I felt fooled and this agency that will perhaps respond on TripAdvisor only answered not the denial by wattsapp.

Ricardo was AMAZING!!! I highly recommend him to show you the prettiest parts of Portugal! My friends & I really enjoyed our day with him!

Miguel was very kind and helped us locate our amenities while we waited for our tour. He was also very knowledgeable! Thank you Miguel!

The island was beautiful. If you get seasick - make sure to take something. There was at least 20 people throwing up due to the rough waters. I wouldn’t miss this one!

Berlenga was amazing! Sights were amazing, and your guides on the boat-island were good. But what made the experience most memorable was our driver Fernando. The amount knowledge that he had was unparalleled. Very personable, professional, and made us felt like family.

Everything about this day was great! Our initial driver Fernando gave great recommendations of restaurants to try, very friendly and gave history of regions we drove through. The actual tour on boat and Berlenga Island was nice too. Friendly and cave tours were great. A little too cold to snorkel today for us but hikes were beautiful! You can even stay on the island in castle! Great food at cafe on the island and worth a trip!
