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

I’m a Danish guide based in Lisbon, where I’ve been living since the summer of 2024. I love traveling, exploring the Lisbon area, and sharing the places, flavors, and stories that make this region special. My tours are made in either English, Danish or Norwegian in Lisbon, Cascais and Almada. I design guided experiences that combine culture, food, coastal walks, and local life. With interests ranging from sport and culture to relaxed social moments and great experiences, my tours are all about enjoying Portugal in an authentic and easy-going way.

I have always felt a deep connection to my country’s nature and history. I studied Biology and traveled across Portugal working in Nature Conservation, uncovering the breathtaking landscapes and hidden gems that make this land so special. More than just a guide, I am passionate about sharing the true soul of Portugal with those who visit us. Our history, our cuisine, and above all, our wine tell the story of an ancient country rich in tradition and culture. To me, there’s nothing better than exploring centuries-old cellars, tasting delicious wines, and diving into the stories that each bottle holds. Join me on an authentic and unforgettable journey through Portugal. From Lisbon’s historic streets to untouched natural landscapes, from prestigious wine cellars to hidden gastronomic treasures, every experience will be a true feast for the senses. Portugal awaits you. Are you ready for this adventure?
