About Joao's Car Service
Being an off-road driver for over 30 years, we know Portugal inside out, literally “off the beaten track”. This led us to organize tours and transfers.
Me and my team (drivers) put our heart and soul into each experience.
Let us take you to your destination in Portugal, safely and comfortably!

“Great driver, with minimal English”
Our driver. Pedro showed up on time, was warm friendly and an excellent driver. Unfortunately, we had arranged a 1 day tour with an English speaking guide. Pedro tried hard to communicate but he did tell us that only spoke a little English. He picked us up in Porto to drive us to Lisbon, with three stops scheduled along the way. We don’t blame Pedro. Joao’s car service is at fault for scheduling a part time driver, who could not communicate sufficiently to meet the requirements of the trip that we scheduled.and paid for.

First of all, thank you very much for your review dear Morton, although sadly not to the positive side… :-) We are very sad to read, that you did not enjoy your transfer from Porto to Lisbon in the fullest. By reading your review, I can understand that it was our fault and misunderstanding of your request. We thought that you wanted a transfer from Porto to Lisbon, with a few stops to see the sites. And that is what our driver did with you. As requested, you stopped in Aveiro, Batalha & Óbidos in your way to Lisbon. We did not understand that you wanted more a "guiding stop" in the locations, then just a driver. We are sorry for this. We could have made more a guiding drive, if we would have specified it in our conversation. In that case, we would have send you a guide/driver, instead of a driver. As our guides, all drivers, by law, are certified with a licence from Portugal´s Tourism Board. It is not allowed to privately transport people without the mandated licences and all the mandatory insurances. Again, so very sorry for this misunderstanding, and we will communicate better with our future travellers. Warmest Regards, Joao Dickmann

Hi! My name is Ines and I would be thrilled to be your guide in the Lisbon area. I studied history of art, holding both a degree and a masters, and have 10 years of experience as a tour guide. I am passionate about art, architecture, history and culture. Whereas you want to enjoy the architecture highlights and hidden gems of the Lisbon area; explore the art scene being or contemporary art or Portugal’s unique crafts; or even combine history, art and indulging in gastronomy and wine tasting I am more than welcome to cater to your preferences. I am also a mother of two young children, plus I have worked for more than 12 years as a museum and heritage educator so, I am very happy to create tours or adapt them to families travelling with children of all ages.

Diogo C.
Hello, I’m Diogo — a private Lisbon tour guide, sommelier, and host, with a background in hospitality and Portuguese culture. I’ve worked for many years in the hospitality world in Portugal and London, including as a sommelier, and I studied the WSET Level 3 in Wines in London. I’m also the co-founder of a Portuguese wine brand in Alcácer do Sal, which gives me a strong connection to local producers and the countryside beyond the cities. While wine is an important part of my background, my tours are not limited to food and wine. I design private, tailor-made tours from Lisbon that can focus on culture, history, landscapes, architecture, and everyday local life, or combine these elements naturally with wine and gastronomy when it makes sense. I work exclusively with private guests and small groups, creating experiences at a relaxed pace and shaped around each guest’s interests. Whether you’re visiting Portugal for the first time or returning to explore more deeply, my goal is to offer an authentic, personal perspective rather than a standard sightseeing tour. I look forward to welcoming you and helping you experience Portugal in a genuine, unhurried way.

I`m a calm person and I pay attention to detail. Also i like to pass on knowledge and good mood and i have a degree from Turismo de Portugal specific to the Sintra area and 8 years of experience. Regarding the area where I work and where I have always lived, I know all the monuments and their stories. The Sintra area is not only palaces and gardens, it has beaches and other interests as well. I like to provide a good experience and captivate people in relation not only to the monuments but also to our gastronomy and local handicrafts. I think the experience is further enriched with a local guide who knows the stories and places that don't usually come in the tourist guides.
