“Favourite tour!”
I have been in Portugal for a month, and this is the favourite thing I've done. No words can describe how beautiful the views are in Arrábida. The small towns we drove through were so charming. You will not regret booking this tour with João.

And hello again, dear Elaine, Thank you so very much for the reviews! Glad that we could make a difference in your stay here in Portugal. Nature has always a beauty of it's own and makes our job easier... ;-) Hope to have you back soon! Warmest Regards, Joao Dickmann

“Óbidos and Mafra ”
This is my second tour with João and I have no regrets. Óbidos is a very photogenic town, and it's amazing to see the well-preserved Moorish walls that have been around since the 8th Century. The palace at Mafra is massive, and I am grateful that João was there to guide me through all the rooms. To be honest, I preferred this tour to Sintra, as it felt less “touristy”.

Hello again, dear Elaine, Thank you very much for your trust and friendship. Óbidos & Mafra are "special" locations to visit, as it shows different places around Lisbon that are not that much visited. Thank you for all. Regards, Joao Dickmann

“Rainy Sintra Tour”
Although the severe rains limited some of our activities, João was an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable and provided great context for all the facts given. It was especially nice to hear about his personal experience growing up in Cascais, and how the area has changed over the years.

Thank you very much for your feedback. It is always very important for us to hear what our travellers have to say. And yes, sadly you were here in one of the rainiest seasons for decades in Portugal. But we still managed to make something out of the day... ;-) Warmest Regards, Joao Dickmann

3.5 hour Walking Lisbon Food Tour
There’s no such thing as traveling without eating! For me, gastronomy is one of the clearest reflections of a society, evolving and flourishing over time. As a wine and food lover (not a trendy foodie), I invite you on a walking tour through Lisbon’s hills, exploring markets, enjoying an espresso and custard tart in a lively bakery, and sharing seafood or a pork sandwich with locals, paired with a glass of local wine.
