5.00I loved every minute of our tour with David and pedro . David was warm and welcoming we felt like we knew him forever. From sharing his vast knowledge of Portugal and all of its history. He went above and beyond for our large group, from taking us to more places then we had even planned to special treats of our first Custard 🍮 tarts. The driving and parking was a challenge we are greatful for the amazing driving skills. I highly recommend david best tour guide ever!!!
Unforgettable day in Portugal

5.00We spent several days touring in Lisbon, Óbidos, Nazaré, Porto and Aviero with David and his partner, Daniel. We were a group of 12 and we were not easy to please, nor were we easy to work with! We wanted to linger, not gather on time and some of us liked to wander away. David dealt with us with patience and helped us balance what we wanted to do with what we needed to do. He is very knowledgeable and communicated exceptionally well. He personifies the hospitality the Portuguese are famous for. His recommendations were spot on. The restaurants were authentic and we loved his tips for shopping and sightseeing. We are an older bunch and David, aware of our limitations, proactively planned on limiting how much hill climbing we would have to do. Kudos to him for his awareness and compassion. David’s vans have steady wifi which was enormously helpful to our “always connected” personalities and he provided water and appropriate USB cables to charge our phones. All-in-all our experience in Portugal was significantly enhanced because of David’s guidance. Don’t miss a chance to tour with him. You will not go wrong! We will definitely return to Portugal and seek his assistance again and we will recommend him and Daniel to our friends and family.
Truly an exceptional experience!!

5.00Over the course of 3 days and 9 cities, We couldn’t have had a better experience with David on our tours throughout Portugal. He went above and beyond to customize our trip and make the perfect itinerary for us! He brought us to the best spots, had the best recommendations and accommodated a large group and was always on time and flexible. We highly recommend David for your trip to Portugal and we will absolutely be using him for our future Portugal travel. Thank you David!!
Perfect way to see a lot of Porturgal!

5.00We just had a wonderful tour of Sintra, Cascais and some of Lisbon with David Monteiro, highly fun even though it poured rain during half of the trip, highly unusual here. David is a very experienced, knowledgeable guide and I spent a lot of time reading through various reviews before picking him. He's passionate and knowledgeable about his country and very experienced in giving tours. He was highly adaptable, which we needed since it rained and I didn't want to wait in any lines for castles. I wanted to get a feel for Sintra and Cascais and he was great at that. His car is very comfortable, he's a great driver, highly recommend him! We stopped at a great place for a very authentic and delicious Portuguese lunch, had the custard tarts at the factory next to monastery and were able to skip the humongous line. Very glad I put the time into finding him.
Wonderful sights/ Excellent Tour Guide

5.00WOW! This excursion was fantastic, but mostly because of my guide David! As someone who has traveled to all 7 continents, I can honestly say that he is the best in the business! My small window of 2 days in Lisbon didn't allow much time. I was on a stopover en route to Cape Verde Islands, AND, it was Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! So the 1st item on the agenda, was to get me that Covid test so I could fly out later that night!! David picked me up at my hotel, drove me to the airport where TAP AIR was doing testing for passengers. (Lifesaver!) Got my test done and off we went! As my bum luck would have it, the weather was horrific; Cold, rainy, overcast, windy and pretty miserable. However, David made the day very delightful with interesting conversation and in sharing his broad knowledge of the historical sights. Even though the weather was poor, I found Quinta da Regaleira to be the most magical place ever!!! It is a must see. Later we went to the cliffs overlooking the sea and it was beautiful. I told him I would love seafood for lunch, and this restaurant he brought me to did NOT dissappoint!!! THE BEST OCTOPUS THAT I HAVE EVER HAD! And I have eaten a lot of them. Plus stunning views from our table. We walked around the little town in Sintra where he knew some prople that gave me a bunch of different tasty liqueurs to drink! I felt warm and fuzzy after that! As a solo traveler, it is important that I feel comfortable and safe when I do tours. Everything about the day was wonderful, and I can't reccomend this tour, and David enough!! Thank you David! See you in a few months when I come back for Algarve!

5.00The charm and magic of Lisbon should be guided by a person like our guide David. He's gonna let you know that charm and magic. Including the feeling and beauty of that music that tastes like Lisbon: El Fado. If you want to know Lisbon, David shows it with professionalism and dedication.

5.00Leading up to our recent trip to Portugal we were lucky enough to stumble upon David from ‘What to do in Portugal’. From Australia I worked with David (over email and WhatsApp) to customise two day-trips for our first visit to Portugal. His knowledge and communication were second to none; I’d go as far to say exceptional… And the trips didn’t disappoint either! Both days we were driven and guided by Pedro, who was early, courteous, suggested great options and took everything we asked him or requested to do, into account when designing a day that was perfect for us. I really couldn’t have dreamed of a better experience. Having limited time in Lisbon, we hadn’t been planning to go to Sintra but changed from a 1/2-day city tour to this one on David’s recommendation. This was a true highlight. We were staying in Belem (another must visit!) and seeing these locations and Lisbon made for a perfect day-trip. It would be a fabulous Shore Excursion. Whist the weather wasn’t great for our visit, it did little to dampen our experience and I really couldn’t recommend this trip more highly.
