• Excellent private tour guide

  Back in January I saw a number of recommendations for private tour guides on this page. We hired Alex and today we arrived in Lisbon on cruise. I wanted to make sure he could work with us while in port for 10 hours. He was great and super easy to communicate with. Alex was such a friendly, funny, knowledgeable guide. I asked for a food and history tour and then I deferred everything to him. We were not disappointed in the sights covered, the food we ate, or the conversations. I am so grateful for his time. He made the 6 hours fly by! And we appreciated having a tour by private van--he maneuvered the traffic and streets expertly! Despite him covering the highlights, he also was flexible when we had requests (like wanting to go to the Pasteis de Belem). I am writing this two days after our tour and the four of us from the. Us are still talking about how great Alex was. If you are looking for a private guide, I don't think you will be disappointed with Alex. This tour cost about the same as a ship excursion but far exceeds that kind of experience.

  This was our second time booking a tour with this company, and they exceeded our expectations once again. We first toured with Alex three years ago and had such a great experience that we knew we wanted to return, and we’re so glad we did. Booking the tour was simple and straightforward, with quick and helpful responses throughout the process. This time, we had the pleasure of touring with Elisabete for the first time as Alex was unavailable, and she was fantastic. Elizabete is easygoing, accommodating, and made us feel completely at ease from the start. Elisabete’s knowledge of Sintra is especially impressive, as she lives there and truly understands the area’s history and charm. She came prepared with a thoughtful plan for the day but was also very flexible and happy to customize the experience based on our interests. We never felt rushed although we saw quite a bit and took our time at the various locations. Our visit to Pena Palace, Cascais and Roca was seamless, informative, and enjoyable from beginning to end. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a personalized and memorable experience.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• A Flawless Journey through Portugal with an Exceptional Guide, Alex

  We spent 3 days with Alex as our guide from Coimbra to Melides, Évora, and Lisbon—and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Alex was the perfect combination of professional, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. He was always on time and efficient, yet never made us feel rushed. As a safe and confident driver, we felt completely at ease navigating the varied terrains of Portugal. Along the way, Alex shared rich historical and cultural insights, tailored to our interests, making every stop even more meaningful. He also struck the perfect balance between guiding and giving us space—allowing us time to explore on our own while always being nearby and ready when we needed him. His restaurant recommendations were spot on, introducing us to some of the best food we had on our entire trip. Alex is truly a gem. We began the trip with him as our guide but ended it with him as our friend. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a seamless and memorable journey through Portugal.

• Our driver showed up late...

  Our driver showed up late and tried to say she had been there all along (she wasn’t). Then she asked where our luggage was as she thought we were going to a hotel afterwards even though she picked us up from the cruise terminal! Poor start to the tour. She was OK on the tour but didn’t allow much time to browse and shop. Overall, I would not recommend it.

• Wonderful day touring Sintra castles!

  We tried to tour with Alex when we were here in December on the recommendation of a friend, but he was booked. We are so glad we got to tour with him on this return trip. He met us right on time and drove us to the Pena Palace in Sintra. He had everything prearranged, and we were in the first group through the palace. His knowledge of his subject was outstanding, and his delivery was fun but informative. We spent almost two and a half hours at the palace, and then he dropped us in the village for some shopping and photo time before picking us up again to take us to lunch in Cascais at a local restaurant that served basically the best chicken I have ever eaten and french fries. What more could you want? We were obviously the only non-locals there, and Alex made us promise not to name the place. He said if you're going to find it, you will have to tour with him. Suffice it to say that we would all do this tour again just for that lunch. After lunch, we were off to The End of the World (where Europeans originally thought the world ended or you fell off the edge), a beautiful place. Go tour with Alex. You will have a great day!

  Our guide Alex Alexander was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us a day of discovery out of Lisboa. We visited Sintra and saw Pena Palace, Monserrate and Quinta da Regaleira with time for a snack of lunch or in my case a Pastel de Nada! We had fun day and so appreciated his organizing this for us!!

  Alex’s Tour - He did an amazing job introducing us to cities such as Lisbon, Nazaré, Obidos, and Tomar. Alex went above and beyond as a guide making us feel at home and thoroughly explaining Portugal’s history. He recommended us good local restaurants, was patient with our pictures and allowed my family to have a relaxed vacation through his guidance. We learned a lot from Alex and we highly recommend this tour
