“Dissatisfied.”
Mr .Hugo never contacted me to tell me what time he would pick me up at the airport. In the reservation I made it said that two days before the tour they would provide me with a telephone number and it never happened , I waster one hours at the airport and he never showed up , send another person who had no information about me. A fatal and frustrating experience for me, I don’t think I will hire anyone and anywhere’s in the world for another tours . Mr Hugo is not truly professional for the industry since Mrs Paula Mendounza was very sorry about what had happened to me and Hugo did not provide her with anything other than my name

Complete Lie. We must clarify that this review does not reflect the facts. Pre-tour details were sent in advance on the original booking thread: guide’s name, phone, and instructions that the guide would wait at Lisbon Airport with a sign. These messages are timestamped and on file. On the service day, the traveler used a different account, which is why those messages were not visible on the profile from which this review was posted. Platform support later confirmed the second account. Despite the confusion, the guest met our guide at Starbucks around 08:30 (the scheduled start time) and the tour ran until ~16:30—the full 8 hours delivered. Because this account of events is incorrect, it risks misleading future travelers and unfairly harming our business. For transparency, we’re formally asking that this be noted/clarified, as we can document every step above. To future guests: we always share guide contacts and clear meeting instructions ahead of time and remain on site with signage to ensure a smooth pickup. If you have any concerns about logistics, we’re happy to explain our procedures and provide proof of communications.

“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,
