Took this private tour as well as a full day at Porto with Goncalo. His professionalism is unparalleled, his storytelling about Portugal's history was most enjoyable, we wanted more. Very friendly. Well deserved praise for a job well done. We highly recommend him and his team to anyone travelling to Portugal.

Vera is a wonderful guide. She reached out to me to introduce herself after I booked my tour to confirm details. She is an interesting storyteller of history in person. It was a delight to spend the day with her and the tour was masterfully handled to insure all three UNESCO sites got an adequate treatment. It was alot to do in one day, but so glad I took this trip!

Our experience was incredible. It was such a pleasure to have Vera as our guide. I had a feeling that we were able to see more than other visitors, find all those hidden symbols. It is precious when you meet people like Vera who are so passionate and have amazing personality. I am sure my visit would not be so enjoyable if it was not for her. I highly recomend this tour.

Fantastic day trip from Lisbon. The history, scenery and churches were excellent. Goncalo was a really good guide and is very knowledgeable about many things about Portugal in addition to the 3 sites we visited. Well worth the time.
Amazing tour!

My family and I (2 adults, 3 kids - 17/14/11) had an amazing day with Vera. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and had a great sense of humor. The tour was well paced, we never felt rushed or bored. Vera was a safe driver and by the end of the trip we said goodbye to a friend. Highly recommend!

My tour guide was Vera who promptly picked me up at my hotel in Lisbon. Vera has a wealth of knowledge about Portugal, both historical and contemporary. She also has an excellent command of the English language, so our long drive to Tomar and from Alcobaca were filled with lots of conversation about a wide variety of topics. When visiting the monasteries, she pointed out lots of fascinating details and knew where to take the photographs. I emphatically endorse this tour with Vera.
Great Tour

This tour was spectacular, both for the script as well as the knowledge, sympathy, patience of the guide Gonçalo Oliveira, driving with care always attending me as well as two friends in everything we needed. The Enterprise is commended to have a highly trained professional. Note 1000.
