Lisbon Private Car Tours

“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!

“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!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! While I'm sorry I wasn’t able to personally guide you on the day, I’m truly glad to hear that Paula took great care of you and made the experience so enjoyable. She is indeed a wonderful guide — full of energy, knowledge, and heart — and we're lucky to have her on our team. It’s great to know that Fátima, Batalha, and the surrounding areas made a meaningful impression, and that you enjoyed the authentic regional lunch. We always do our best to adapt and make the most of each moment, so we’re happy to hear you felt that care. Thank you once again for choosing us and for recommending the tour — it means a lot. We hope to welcome you back to Portugal in the future, perhaps for that Sintra tour with Paula next time! Warm regards,

“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
