Worth the cost for the experiences!

It was so worth the cost for the unique experiences we had. José was an excellent guide, tailoring the trip to our interests and making sure we all had fun! He had to rearrange some of the activities due to the forest fires and he was thoughtful to avoid crowds and traffic in his approach. He made stops so we could try the authentic pasteis de Belem (the original pasteis de nata), see the Sintra Santorini, visited a vineyard grown in the sand before going to the cooperative that sold the wine to try it, among so many more sites, and had the best fresh fish lunch (and leisurely enjoyed it with a view of the sea). Highly recommend José and the tour!
Perfect day with a fantastically committed guide!

Jose was the most incredible tour guide. We couldn’t ask for a better experience, he took us to beautiful sites that I think we would’ve missed with anyone else! He made our mother/ daughter trip so much fun, his quick wit and sense of humor had us laughing the whole time. And we appreciated the impromptu adventure!

Great private tour at a nice pace. Luckily we were able to get timed entry tickets we didn’t realize we needed to purchase separately.

We were fortunate to have Jose as our guide for a full-day tour of Sintra and the Colares wine area. Jose was very knowledgeable and responsive to our interests and requests. This private tour included a stop for local pasteis and a scenic tour of Cascais and the Colares area. Our lunch at the Neptuno Restaurant was excellent, and our visit to Adega Regional de Colares was fun and informative. Jose's local knowledge and insights allowed for visits to out-of-the-way vineyards and pastry shops, stops at perfect scenic viewing locations, and tastings of high-quality local wines. We would highly recommend both Jose as a tour guide and this specific full-day tour. Not only an excellent value for the money, this was a top-tier touring experience.

Jose, our guide, was a real rockstar! He made the trip personalized to our liking but really showed us some amazing things we would never have seen otherwise. He was also very knowledgeable and gave us the best tips to maximize our time while also never rushing us. This tour was the absolute best part of our trip to Portugal.
Love!!!!

We absolutely LOVED José! We booked this as part of our honeymoon and he made it so special and explained every single thing possible and took us anywhere we wanted! Could not be more thankful to have him as our tour guide. He is so funny, down to earth, and outgoing. Thank you for having us experience the real Portugal!!
