Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Words can’t describe how amazing our tour was with Sofia. She is truly an expert in all things Sintra. I had my 80yr old parents and 6yr old son with me and she took such great care of them. She allowed for many stops for my mom to sit when she was tired. Sofia held my mom’s hand when the terrain was more difficult for her. She engaged my son. The tour was more than a tour, it was like hanging with family. She took us to a restaurant where we ate a delish fish meal in the most picturesque spot. The conversations we had stayed with me. Sofia is more than a tour guide…she is the gatekeeper of Sintra. "
"Henrique was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Lisbon. He speaks perfect English and knows more about Lisbon than most locals do. Highly recommend if you want to see all the must-see sights and understand what you are looking at!"
"We loved spending the day with Luis. He did a great job taking us to all the historic sites and filling us in on all of the history. We enjoyed Lisbon so much more because of his expertise."
"Lili was really helpful and made my stay in Lisbon really memorable. She took me to all the local hidden spots and showed me places that i actually liked. "
"The 5 hour with Vos was incredible! She is so knowledgeable, and we saw such an interesting variety of buildings and culturally important sites all laced with the perfect amount of history! We took a food tour the next day, and the guide was amazed by all we had already seen on Vos's tour the day before. Vos's English is flawless, too! Her tour has been one of the highlights of our trip! "
"Jorge is so funny, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Like being shown the city with a best friend! "
"Wir hatten eine fantastische Stadtführung durch Lissabon mit David! Er ist außerordentlich kompetent, freundlich und nett. Er hat uns die Stadt mit seiner großen Erfahrung auf eine sehr unterhaltsame und persönliche Weise gezeigt und ist jederzeit auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen. Sein immenses Hintergrundwissen und seine historischen Einordnungen waren extrem interessant. Wir waren fast sechs Stunden zu Fuß und mit der Tram unterwegs haben und haben spannende Geschichten erzählt bekommen und viele wunderschöne Ecken entdeckt, die wir allein ganz sicher nicht gefunden hätten. Wir haben uns wirklich gefühlt, als ob wir einen Tag mit einem lieben Bekannten unterwegs gewesen wären. Absolut empfehlenswert!"
"Antonio made our first time in Lisboa to a perfect experience. He took us through the city in a nice pace and with a plan and agenda that made the experience so memorable. We saw all the nice places and got the best of the history. Since the city is full of hills it could have been a tough walk. But Antonio knows the best way to explore without to much effort. We are very happy with our guided tour and we look forward to our next visit. "
"As first time travellers to Portugal, we didn’t really know what to expect. We met up with Luis for a walking tour of Lisbon on our first day that did not disappoint! Luis was friendly, knowledgeable, and a great navigator. He willingly shared his appreciation for history & architecture as we toured around. There were so many places we never would have thought to look or explore that turned out to be some of our top highlights. It was the perfect way to start our week!! Thank you Luis for the wonderfully memorable."
"Henrique was the perfect guide for us. Planned a wonderful walking tour of Lisbon, answered all of our (many many) questions. Completely knowledgeable about his city and the history of Portugal. Would highly recommend. "
