“Exciting Lisbon”
Duarte was an excellent guide showing us all the beautiful sights of Lisbon. He was very detailed in his explanations and giving us in depth history. He was accommodating to what we wanted to see. Great guide.

Private Full Day Tour in Sintra - Charm and romantism
“Amazing day in Sintra”
We had a great day on our tour of Sintra. Duarte was not our guide which was a surprise but Joao did a really nice job. At his recommendation we toured the inside of the Queluz Palace and the outside of the Pena Palace since the lines at the Pena Palace can be quite long and would have taken up too much time. The only thing we didn't like was Joao tried to sell us more tours when we returned to Lisbon.

(5 reviews)Hi Sue Thank you very much for contacting me, and especially for your review. João Ramos does work with me, and I organised your Sintra tour with him because you were only 2 passengers, and your tour would have been more comfortable in a smaller car, which is the one João normally works with. I asked João why he had suggested other tour options, and what he told me was that when he realised that you would be returning to Lisbon, and accompanied by friends, he tried to let you know that he and I could design and organise a tour for the whole group that would meet your wishes for the visit, which could include: wine tasting, artisanal cheese making, drawing and painting tiles, in short, there is a world of experiences that could be organised by us. I know that he has done this with the best of intentions, as he is truly passionate about our history and culture, and I'm sure that you would be truly amazed at how much you can do, and at the wonderful experiences and memories you can take away with you. I wish you a wonderful holiday on your cruise and if you need any support from us, we are here to help. At your service Duarte Pestana and João Ramos
