5.00We had an amazing day with Felipe! He was super fun, friendly, and knew all the ‘ins and outs’ necessary to get us to all the areas we wanted to explore! He was a wealth of information …. Educated us on the history along the way during the road trip and during the tours of Sintra, Regaleira, Pena, and all the surrounding communities. He showed us so much- and was also an amazing PHOTOGRAPHER! Thank you Felipe! You were WONDERFUL!
Felipe was an awesome tour guide. Very knowledgeable. Learned a lot of Portuguese history and facts. Highly recommended!

Excursion with private driver

5.00We hired a private driver to take us to Tomar, about a 2 hour drive from Lisbon. Ricardo was wonderful. He met us at the cruise terminal, handled our luggage, and got us swiftly and safely to our destination. He speaks excellent English and was friendly and informative about Portugal’s history and culture. He even introduced us to one of his favorite restaurants for lunch. Highly recommend!

5.00Our guide, Mr Rui, was wonderful. He answered all our questions and was very knowledgeable about the history of the palaces. The Mafra Palace interior was closed the day of our tour, so he drove us up to the area and we did pictures outside and then he took us to the royal treasury instead. The other two palaces were stunning and well worth visiting. Much less crowded than Pena Palace which we had seen several years ago.

5.00Hello Swingo I would like to praise Susana for her service. Her driving, punctuality, knowledge and above all her attitude willing to help us in any issue was the main factor for our (family of 6 adults and one baby) successful trip to Lisbon. I will recommend your company and especially Susana as the Driver/Guide to any person looking for this kind of service in Lisbon. Alex

5.00The moment we were picked up at our hotel the history tour started. Miguel was amazing and so passionate about his culture. He listened and gave us exactly what we asked for. The palaces we visited were incredible and Miguel gave us interesting and specific details for each site visited. He took us to a fabulously amazing place for lunch that only locals would know about. I can not say enough about this tour. BOOK IT ! Ask for Miguel. You will not be disappointed.
