Lisbon Private Car Tours

“What a full day touring outside of Lisboa!”

We did not tour with Hugo as expected as he notified us a few days beforehand that Paula would be our tour guide for the day instead. She was super friendly, a ball of energy, and most definitely passionate about all things Portugal! Though we ran out of time to fit in a visit to Nazare, it was a very full and long day spent touring a good portion of the area north of Lisbon. Fatima was definitely worth the time to visit (if you're into this sort of thing) and Paula was able to get us in to see a short documentary presented by the museum which was cool. She often went to great lengths to ensure we got the most out of the time we had with her, including our stop for lunch in Batalha that was fantastic and authentic to the region. We learned that Paula lives in the old village of nearby Sintra and would have toured that area with her as well, except it was our last day in Portugal and we had already toured Sintra the day before. If you're looking for a full day of high-energy and adventure, this is for you and would recommend!

“Wonderful trip to Sintra & the nearby coast”

We worked with Nuno to tailor a tour to our liking for a day from Lisboa to Sintra and back along the coast. He speaks fluent English, has a good sense of humor and possesses strong knowledge of the area and the monuments. There was a train strike that day and he expertly maneuvered heavier than average traffic, allowing us to visit the famed Pena Palace (must see, but go early as we did) and the beautiful grounds and palace of Regaleira in Sintra. He also recommended a wonderful seaside restaurant for us to have a leisurely lunch of fresh fish. We passed through Cascais but did not spend time there and had no regrets about our choice to dine elsewhere. Nuno's communication prior to arrival was excellent with prompt responses to every query from our group of 6. We thank him for a fabulous day and highly recommend Nuno for your next visit to Portugal.

Dear Hollis, it was a pleasure to welcome you, your husband and your friends for the day. It was great to walk with you through Pena gardens, to show you the grounds and the history of the amazing place, whilst avoiding the crowds. Then take you to Sintra, to visit Regaleira, and after, giving you time to enjoy lunch by the coast. You made the difference, being active, interested and good fun. Thank you for your trust and a great day

“Day Tour: Defensive Lines of Torres Vedras ”

Henrique was an excellent guide and host for our day trip. He was knowlegeable and informative and we learned so much about the general history of Portugal in addition to the specific history of the lines of Torres Vedras and the Peninsular War. Henrique tailored the tour to meet the specific interests of my husband so that we visited Wellington's headquarters, making the day even better than we had anticipated, and a special birthday treat. We thoroughly recommend Henrique and his tours if you are visiting Portugal.

Hello Carol and Bill Thank you very much for your kind and rewarding review on our tour " The Defensive Lines of Torres Vedras - Wellington vs Napoleon - the Peninsular War in Portugal". I was delighted to accompany you on this visit and I want you to know how stimulating and challenging it was for me to hear of your curiosity and interest in learning more and more about Portugal's history, particularly with regard to its links with England, which went far beyond the Peninsular War. As I think that Portugal still has much more to surprise you, particularly with regard to the Napoleonic wars and the presence of the Duke of Wellington, I hope that one of these days we can meet again. All the best to you, Caroll and Bill! Thank you very much! Henrique
