"Rita was a wonderful tour guide! We had such an amazing experience seeing the sights in Sintra. Rita was incredibly knowledgeable, and helpful picking spots that were accessible and flexible with our small children. And I know it has been said before, but she is great with kids! Especially helping in engaging my 5 year old son. We also went to one of the best restaurants of our entire trip with the most incredible view! I will have dreams about that meal for years to come. I highly recommend booking a tour with Rita!"

"Our guide Angelo was superb. He gave a true locals insight into Lisbon. He brought its history to life and we saw parts of the city we would not have found on our own. His restaurant recommendations were perfect and the next time we return we need to do a food and wine tour with him. We tasted the best pastel de nata and he introduced us to cherry liquor. As well as taking the time to give us a tour afterwards he sent us a comprehensive list of other recommendations. Angelo took the time to take us on a tour to suit our interests we learned so much not just about Lisbon and its history and culture but about the Portuguese way of life. His personal family anecdotes brought humour and history to life. We recommend a tour with Angelo as the best way to see Lisbon. No following umbrellas as part of a huge group you get the personal attention of a true Lisbon resident who takes you to the best secrets in the city his knowledge is comprehensive snd he clearly loves to share his passion for his home. Obrigado Angelo "

"Sofia was a wonderful guide!! She was so knowledgeable and full of interesting conversation about the walk, local history and landscape and plants. I really enjoyed our time together! I love that she took me to some special spots that were a little off the beaten path. This was truly a magical forest hike and the castle was super interesting, with stunning views, it was a really memorable spot to go. Sofia was very patient with letting me stop to take lots of photos along the way, pointing out interesting details and photogenic spots away from crowds- she's got a fantastic eye for good photography! Sofia is very gracious and experienced in hospitality, she felt like a knowledgeable professional, historian, naturalist, and a new friend all at the same time. "

"Bruno was exceptionally responsive and helpful from our first communication. He picked us up from our hotel in his very nice car and gave us a wonderful tour of the surrounding towns. He really knew his history and went out of his way to give us a good experience. I highly recommend Bruno! "

"Rita was absolutely amazing. Super friendly and, wow, what a fountain of historic knowledge. I can’t imagine a better tour guide! Thanks, Rita!"

"Joao was without question the perfect guide for us, and blessed us with the most magical day trip out of Lisbon. He picked us up at our hotel right on time and after ensuring we were completely comfortable for the trip, began to enlighten us with the history of Lisbon and Portugal in a very conversational and entertaining way. We ask a lot of questions and “squirreled” him time after time, and he obliged us with informative answers then got back on track. The visit to Fátima was a very special experience, and Joao walked us through the different structures explaining the history and lore of each. We got the opportunity to attend a mass, and Joao did not make feel rushed at all. After Fátima we continued on to Nazere, which is nearby his family’s town. His knowledge and recounts of experiences at Nazere from his childhood were great. In addition to an amazing lunch at a friend’s restaurant overlooking the beach, he showed us some hidden gems including the surf museum. Continuing on to Obidos, we strolled through the walled city and learned about the history as well as fun stories of queens and other historical figures with roots there. At the end of the day we felt like we had taken a 200-level course on the country and seen some of the most spectacular sights of Portugal. We highly recommend this tour, and specifically choosing Joao to be your guide!"

"I spent a delightful afternoon with Peter seeing some of the highlights of Lisbon. Peter was well-prepared, knowledgeable, and creative. He has a binder of paintings, drawings, maps, diagrams, and photos to supplement his talk, which brought a deeper understanding to what we were seeing and discussing. I asked a lot of questions, including topics beyond what we were seeing, and he'd just flip to a different section of the binder where he'd prepared extra information. He'd already thought of everything! If you have the option, I'd take Peter's tour early in your trip. What I learned helped me notice and understand details while exploring on my own or taking other tours, even in other cities. Peter also gave me ideas for places to visit later. I highly recommend taking a tour with Peter, whether it's Lisbon highlights or one of his other creative options."

"We only had 1 full day in Lisbon and so selected Ângelo for a 3 hour walking tour of Lisbon. Our tour with Ângelo André was an absolute highlight of our time in Lisbon. His knowledge of the city, its history, and its cultural layers is exceptional, and he shares it with a passion that is genuinely infectious. Ângelo has that rare ability to be both informative and engaging — every story, every explanation, every detail added depth without ever feeling overwhelming. His English is fabulous, clear, and effortless, which made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable for our group. What stood out most was how attentive he was. Ângelo listened carefully to what our group was interested in and shaped the tour around our pace and preferences. He struck the perfect balance between guiding and adapting, making sure everyone felt included and catered for. He also took us to hidden gems we would never have found on our own — small streets, viewpoints, neighbourhood corners, and local spots that revealed the real soul of Lisbon. These moments made the tour feel personal and special. Above all, Ângelo’s passion for Lisbon shines through in everything he does. Thanks to him, we walked away with a much deeper understanding of the city’s history, its cultural diversity, and the stories that make Lisbon such a unique and vibrant place. We couldn’t recommend Ângelo more highly. If you want a guide who is knowledgeable, warm, attentive, and truly loves his city, he is the perfect choice"

"This was my second trip to Sintra but our first with Luis. He was on time, the car was spotless AND he even extended our trip by close to an hour to let us enjoy our last stop. I love seeing the world this way - with a knowledgeable guide but one who is not pushy! I highly recommend booking a tour with him - unforgettable!"

"Fantastic tour of lovely Lisbon with Carlos! He is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history and culture of Portugal. We enjoyed learning from him. "
