So great we booked again second day on the spot!

5.00Such a great tour, we booked again for the next day! Everything was unbelievably perfect. The logistics were superb-easy pickup at our hotel, great communication, perfect van. All the details were handled. Our guide, Marta, had coordinated beforehand and made lunch reservations and had everything handled. But, hands down, the highlight was our guide herself, Marta! She was an absolute joy-friendly, knowledgeable, perfect English, and just an overall great person. I’d say we all became friends after our two days together. (And we really did book her for a trip to Fatima the next day on the spot. We had such a great time with her, we were ecstatic to spend the next day as well!) Can’t recommend this tour enough! It was perfect!!
Perfect day! Loved this tour!

Amazing Tour of Lisbon

5.00We had the absolute pleasure of spending the day with Rui, and it was truly one of the best travel experiences we have ever had. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to show us the beauty, history, and charm of Lisbon. Our private tour included a visit to the castle, where Rui shared fascinating historical details, as well as stops at several stunning cathedrals and landmarks. He also drove us through unique neighborhoods that we never would have found on our own. Throughout the day, Rui introduced us to local eateries where the food was nothing short of amazing, even helping us with ordering so we could fully enjoy authentic Portuguese flavors. What impressed us most was his dedication — Rui spent nearly 13 hours with us, ensuring we experienced everything Lisbon had to offer. His knowledge of the city, warm personality, and genuine passion for sharing his culture made the entire day unforgettable. If you are visiting Lisbon, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Rui. You will see the city in a way that guidebooks simply cannot capture, and you will leave with both incredible memories and a deep appreciation for this beautiful place. Highly recommend!

5.00This tour was amazing. Marta was an amazing guide, I would definitely request her. The sites were beautiful and my 11 year old twins had the best day. She was so good with them always engaging them. She even climbed up towers with them bc we couldn’t due to injuries. She helped me walk and brought the car for us. Highly recommend

5.00Our guide Rui was knowledgeable, charming, and passionate about the local history and the locations were beyond beautiful. The coastline was breathtaking and the wells and gardens of Sintra were among the most interesting sites I have ever visited. Highly recommend this tour to anyone coming to Lisbon.
Sintra and beach day

5.00Our private Sintra Day Tour with Duca was not what we expected, but in a good way. It is a full day tour with visits in Sintra, beach towns and Cascais. Duca was very thorough with his explanations and information and pleasant company for the day. We started our tout at 9 and returned at 7 so wear comfortable shoes and be ready to walk and enjoy. Very well organized and charming.

5.00!!Book this tour!! Some friends found Rui's tour when they visited Portugal, and we are so glad he was available to guide our way around Sintra, Cabo de Roca and the sites. Rui is a true local so knows all the ins and outs of the area including how to fast-track us into every tour with tickets he had pre-purchased as part of the day together. Rui is full of many fun and interesting historical facts, acted as our photographer, pointed out awesome little things no one else seemed to notice, and ensured our safety and comfort for a long day together. Highly recommend!!

Cabo da Roca We went at the right time. We had so much time to walk around and to get few photographs. Cascais Was awesome. It was perfect day too. Run was a great guide.
