Miguel our tour guide was so enthusiastic, always listening to the needs of the group and so helpful to all. His knowledge of the itinerary was vast and he was able to deliver this in his personal manner which kept the group intrigued. From start to finish and the stop for our wonderful lunch , Miguel looked after us all, in what was a breathtaking guided tour like no other. Thanks Miguel.
Guide was knowledgeable, friendly, humourous and accommodating. The locations were stunning, the history lessons informative, the activity level was pleasant.
Miguel was just a fabulous tour guide. He was patient, helpful, and so incredibly knowledgeable. Our group had many different needs and he saw to it that everyone was taken care of. He went above and beyond during the tour! We recommend this tour and Miguel highly.
An absolutely lovely day seeing everything important outside of Lisbon, and especially with our guide Bernardo who made us see these lovely places through the eyes of the local, with lots of passion, knowledge and perspective making our full day trip go by so quickly! Thank you!
This is a really nice, full day long tour of major tourist destinations outside of Lisbon. In one full day it covers many places you would need to see with a great guide and lovely tour. It allows for just enough time to free roam while at the same time guides with many interesting stories through the eye of a local.
We had a wonderful experience with our guide Bernardo! He was extremely informative, sharing so many interesting facts and stories that made each stop even more enjoyable. We never felt rushed at any of the locations, which gave us plenty of time to take everything in and enjoy the experience. He also made a point of checking in with us throughout the tour to make sure we were comfortable and doing okay, which we really appreciated. At the end of the tour, he was able to drop us off directly at our hotel, which was incredibly convenient. Overall, the tour was well-paced, informative, and enjoyable. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend this tour to others!
Excellent, full day adventure. It covered all the sites, and our guide, Joao, was absolutely great! He shared the local perspective, and was a wealth of knowledge. The Lunch spot he picked was excellent! His timing, perfect for avoiding the crowds. Cannot say enough good things about this tour.
Pedro was a great tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and knew everything like the back of his hand. He was very enthusiastic and entertaining! I recommend him to anyone.
The tour allowed us to experience several things that would have been difficult to organize or do on our own. It’s a lot to fit into one day, but absolutely worth it. We ended up with a out 5 miles of walking but this is split up over several stops and doable for most people. The weather was also a lot cooler compared to Lisbon so an extra layer and food walking shoes are a must. Davide was an incredible guide and host who made the day special for our entire group. He had a relaxed and friendly demeanor and good sense of humor. We enjoyed the day start to finish with him. In the morning we were a little concerned about my mother in law's ability to walk the distance but Davide encouraged her and took extra care throughout the day. Davide’s great knowledge of history added valuable context and made me appreciate everything we saw even more. I would highly recommend this tour—and specifically Davide
We had a wonderful day to Sintra with our guide, Ramos. The information, lunch, and trip itself was exceptional. Highly recommend.
