Beautiful places, well organised, great conversations.
My private tour with Vítor around Sesimbra was one of the most memorable parts of my trip to Portugal. Everything was very easy from the start, communication was easy and he was very punctual.
We visited some really beautiful places that I probably wouldn’t have found on my own, like the private tour in winery and the visit to ceramics studio, everything was well organized. Vítor is a very interesting person to talk to, which made the experience even better.
I would definitely book with him again when I come back to Portugal.

A delightful tour with an even more delightful guide.
I had a delightful time with Vitor. The tour itself, was great, but half the fun was talking with Vitor about the country and his life. He knew something about everything and was thoroughly engaging. 10/10

Amazing day with a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide
Vitio was great. He is very knowledgeable and did a great job of explaining the historical sites and about Sesimbra itself. He also knows a lot about Lisbon and the great sites to visit in Lisbon. He picked me up at my hotel on time and his shuttle van is brand new and clean . He is very friendly and easy to talk too . I highly recommended Vito for anyone visiting Portugal 🇵🇹 and needing a knowledgeable tour guide . Thank you Vito for a great experience 😃

Wonderful guide and excellent tour!
Vitor was an excellent guide! Not only knowledgeable but accommodating.
Once he discovered that I’m not much of a drinker, he changed gears and took me to taste the local dessert and cheese. It was perfect for me as I LOVE sweets!
He provided me with a lot of information about the locations we were visiting as well as the other destinations I had planned in Portugal!
Only wish I had the time to do a longer tour with him as it was truly a wonderful experience!

Fabulous day
We booked the private 6 seater half a day tour. Vitor is very warm friendly knowledgeable. The car got air condition, water provided on the jouney. The first stop was in the Graça district of the Old Town, this hilltop neighbourhood has stunning views discovery the Moorish history of the city at Castle de São Jorge, which dominates the hillside overlooking Alfama.
Vitor took us around Lisbon all the major tour stops, Torre de Belém, Padrao dos Descobrimentos, Restauradores and many more.
Definitely book again for a longer day and would recommend to all friends and family. 😀

Not Just a Tour Guide: Vitor Showcased Portugal Like a Friend
Vitor was everything you could ask for in a local guide: patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and a talented photographer. We started our tour in a comfortable sprinter van, but what truly surprised us was how much we ended up enjoying the journey itself. Vitor's passion for the region shone through as he shared his in-depth knowledge and stories behind each stop. It became clear that he wasn't just showing us places, but sharing his love for his homeland.
The highlight of the tour, however, was the surprise upgrade to a luxurious Mercedes. We felt like celebrities pulling up to each location! This personalized touch, on top of Vitor's expertise and enthusiasm, made this experience one of the best excursions we've ever had in Europe. We can't recommend Vitor enough!

Outstanding private tour of Sesimbra and Arrábida
Our guide, Vitor, is a very experienced, very knowledgeable leader. His English is outstanding, and you could see his pride of country.
Vitor was extremely accommodating. At the same time, he could sense what we would enjoy seeing from his years of experience.
If we come back for a third trip to Portugal, we would definitely want to work with Vitor again. I have already recommended him to friends back home!
