“A true professional”
We were delighted to spend a day with Gonçalo in Lisboa. He picked us up promptly at our hotel as arranged and we spent the entire day learning and living in this great city. We had hit some of the more typical highlights on a different tour with a different guide a few days earlier, so Gonçalo was able to tailor our itinerary on-the-fly to give us more in-depth info and help us experience his city more fully. He paced our activities well and eagerly answered questions. We loved his recommendation for a post-tour neighborhood adventure at the local saint's festival. This was obviously not a "canned" presentation and he was always energetic with great concern for our comfort and enjoyment. He radiates love for and pride in Lisboa. We had an incredible time and can not recommend him enough. 10 stars!

Hello Simon, thanks again for your review about our days in Portugal and how you appreciate the way i cared about both of you during your stay! Our time in Porto, exploring off the beaten track places and hidden spots, still checking the city landmarks, was a fun afternoon! But for sure Porto will welcome you again for you to explore even further this small charming city! Wishing you all the best for your incredible travels!

Hello Simon, Thanks for your time to write this kind review about yours days in Portugal with me as your tour guide. In our last day we went to Douro Valley and i believe was the perfect way to finish our tours. We had time to visit an historical village, enjoy unique landscapes and seat relaxed, while enjoy drinking a Douro Wine looking towards the river, with the vineyards around us! Thanks again for picking me as your tour guide and being able to show you some places and a bit more of our culture. Was a true honour!
