Our guide was Alessandro (Alex). He was no less than excellent. He was friendly, thoughtful, attentive and informative. The vehicle was spacious, clean and comfortable. We are in our late 70's. My husband has heart problems. Alex tailored our tour to ensure we got to see as much as possible within our capabilities. We also got to choose how much time we wished to spend where within the schedule. Had we been in the area for longer we would have booked more tours with Alex. Thank you Alex for a memorable tour.

Tomas was a great tour guide. He picked us up and was even outside early. Tomas is very well spoken and knows a lot about his Portuguese history and culture, and is very excited to share it. We had booked two sites to visit, and Tomas was very organized with getting us on time to both sites. He altered the tour when needed and was quite accommodating. I cannot say enough nice things about Tomas. He is great!

We had a great tour despite the rain! Learned a lot about the history of Portugal. Our guide Rodriguez answered many questions about other interests such as port wine, other local wines, and Portugal cork trees.

Very nice day trip to Sintra and Cascais from Lisbon! Beautiful pictures and great pastries in Sintra.

Our guide was knowledgeable, fun and gave us great insight. Highly recommend!
