Reservamos esta guía a través de nuestro hotel. El guía, Emilio, hablaba perfecto el castellano, así que no dejó que nos perdiéramos ningún detalle de la ruta. Fue muy amable y atento. Fue un día 10 en gran parte gracias a Emilio. Sin duda un servicio muy recomendable por no decir imprescindible.

Pedro was our tour guide and he was so passionate and knowledgeable to say the least!

He took his time giving explanations of each stop. Even while driving in the car on our way to the next destinations, he’d mention the history behind the monuments and places we’d drive by.

He truly showed his care for our group by ensuring we’re all doing well and have what we need.

Highly suggest this tour as it covered all the main historical places to see, and specifically suggest Pedro as the tour guide for his deep passion and knowledge.

Our guide was terrific. Very customizable tours where the guide was flexible and focused on where and what we wanted to see. Knowledge was second to none in history, architecture, and a great conversationalist. Car was comfortable and so much better than a bus or large group tour. Would definitely book again on the next trip.

It was an amazing tour. The views at each location that we stopped at were incredible. Our tour guide, Narcis, was multi lingual and spoke each one like a native. His knowledge of each location was so valuable to our experience. I’ve traveled extensively and he rates as one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had on any of my trips.

Our tour concluded with a visit to the Pena Palace which is so amazing and the views from the parapets should not be missed.

Our tour guide, Emilio, picked us up from our hotel at around 8 am and we proceeded to pick up 2 more couples. There were 8 of us in total for the tour in a van. The drive wasn’t bad and we were in good company with a couple from Netherlands, Florida, and another Canadian. Emilio was funny and knowledgeable. My hubby truly enjoyed his narration of some of the history of Portugal. He was also informative and constantly reminded us of what not to do or what to do if we got lost. He was friendly and very welcoming. He even bought us cappuccino at the end of our tour. We highly recommend him for sure.
