What To Expect
Elevador de Santa Justa
We start the tour going to the top of Santa Justa Lift, one of the icons of Lisbon, a beautiful Neogothic style lift built in XIX century by Raoul Mesnier du Ponsard. The view from the top allows us to see all Lisbon downtown, the castle and Lisbon Cathedral.
Mosteiro dos Jeronimos
After the lift we pass by chiado and along the river drive to Belém, the imperealist and more monumental part of Lisbon. We talk about the history of the portuguese discoveries by the sea and the important Navigators, like Vasco da Gama and Pedro Álvares Cabral. At this point we are going to visit the expectacular cathedral of Stª Maria de Belém, one of the most magnificent gothic cathedrals in Portugal.

Amazing trip in Lisbon

5.00We had an amazing day exploring Lisbon with Joao! He was punctual, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history and culture. What really stood out was how he took us beyond the usual tourist spots — showing us local favorites and hidden gems we never would’ve found on our own. Joao’s passion for Lisbon made the whole experience special, and he tailored the day perfectly to our interests. If you want to truly see the heart of the city and learn from someone who loves it, I can’t recommend Joao enough!
Wonderful experience! Highly recommend!!

5.00Our tour of Sintra with Joao was incredible! His knowledge, sense of humor and warmth made the day truly unforgettable! The gorgeous scenery, delicious food and learning the history of this beautiful region was special. We didn’t feel like we were on an “tour” but traveling with a local friend. Our day with Joao was perfection!
wonderful

5.00Travel can be challenging in general, but traveling with special needs requires additional adaptability and patience. We can be hesitant if not outright skeptical of adventures with my son and (autistic) daughter in unfamiliar places. But Joao changed all that... Over the course of seven days, we toured Lisbon, Sintra, Cascais, Cabo de Roca, Óbidos, Aveiro, Porto, and a brief excursion to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Over that period, we had an air flight delay (upon arrival), (limited) attraction closures due to the possibility of forest fires, and other uncontrollable circumstances. It didn't matter. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Joao knows Portugal and can pivot with the best of them! He will pay attention as he gets to know his clients, propose adjustments or share his personal insights to not just guide you - but acclimate you to Portugal. His grasp of the country - its culture, economy, history, gastronomy, night life, influence on other countries, etc. - is limitless. We always had a reasonable game plan for the day, but flexibility to adjust based on my daughter's capabilities. It's also important to note that Joao was curious. He (respectfully) asked questions to learn more about my daughter and how she saw things, processed her surroundings, etc. It showed me that he wanted to make this an unforgettable experience for her - and he was going to figure it out! As for my son, they loved quizzing each other on geography, politics, and generally laughing along the way. Joao shared stories of his adventures with his children and we all felt like we were no longer with a tour operator but a family friend. We were traveling with extended family on this trip, and we all had positive, reaffirming moments where Joao took time to connect, to share and to engage. We are so glad that we had this adventure in Portugal, but we are truly grateful that our family had it with Joao.
9 day Multi-generational Tour of Portugal and Galicia

5.00My extended family (7 of us) were treated royally by Joao who managed to plan and execute an ambitious 9-day tour of Lisbon, Sintra, Porto, Obidos, Evora and Galicia (ES), such that a couple in their golden years were just as entertained as their 13-year-old grandson. Joao is gregarious, engaging and acutely sensitive to the needs of his clients, adapting with grace and facility to contingencies. While the trip was planned to almost every detail, his wit, charm and persistence secured favorable outcomes for us with vendors he knows and does not know (e.g. last-minute tables, tickets, etc.). His encyclopedic knowledge of Portuguese history, culture and international affairs sparked spirited dialogue with mutual respect and learning during our long drives and tours. Most of all, Joao's passion and love for his home country is infectious and left us with a keen interest in returning to explore more (hopefully with him)! Go Green!
