Jose was a really great tour guide- from beginning to end. He customised our itinerary to ensure we visited all the places important to us, and still added in a few quick stops along the way which were surprisingly beautiful and well worth detours (especially the most western point in Europe). Highly recommended tour, great experience

We had an excellent tour with Andres. He brought us to a great spot to view the sunset where we could see the Alfama area and the river for a great view. He told us some history of the Alfama area and fado music. He brought us to the dinner show and walked us in and gave us the time he would be back to get us. The dinner show was very good. We had salad, codfish and vegetables, creme brûlée, wine and coffee. The music and singers were wonderful. The restaurant was small and intimate. After the show we had a nice walking tour of Alfama with Andres. He got us some cherry liquor in a chocolate cup to sample. Alfama at night was so interesting. It was great having a knowledgeable guide to walk us through the narrow, winding streets. Thanks for a great evening Andres!

We will start this tour of the coastal and rural villages outside Lisbon with a visit to Queluz National Palace and Gardens. Enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and ocean, before driving to the fishing village of Ericeira, where you can taste fresh seafood and fish pulled straight from the ocean. Although one of the most popular surf destinations in Europe, with large scale 20th-century developments, Ericeira has managed to maintain its characteristic atmosphere. In the afternoon, go to Mafra National Palace, which benefited greatly from Portugal’s adventures in Brazil and boasts sumptuous Baroque buildings and a major library. It was here that the Nobel prize-winning author, José Saramago was inspired to write his best-known novel, “Baltasar and Blimunda,” set around the construction of the Convent of Mafra.

Diana @ Ride For You was an amazing guide and she is the main reason our trip turned out to be so wonderful. We are a family with 2 small children (2.5yrs and 5 months) and she completely took care of us - from helping with children, to explaining the sights, driving us to different parts of the area, being super flexible and helpful, great English language skills, recommending what is best for us, etc. Highly recommended! Thank you Diana, from Ivan, Maja and family :)

This tour was amazing! Tiago took us around town for four hours in what must be the best way to tour Lisbon.. He provided us colorful explanations as we drove through the city landmarks. We will certainly book again when we return, but next time for more than four hours! Highlight of our trip. I truly recommend this!!!

Diego was fantastic. We went into the tour blind and left with a deep appreciation for Portugal’s history, food, and unbelievable vistas. Diego was such a joy to spend the day with and was very patient with our questions (on pretty much everything!). He took us to an incredible seafood restaurant in nazaré, and was also accommodating to our dietary preferences (I am a pescatarian, but my mom does not like fish, which you can imagine poses a few challenges when traveling together). After lunch, we went to the top of the cliffs to see a breathtaking view of the sea and home of the gigantic “cannon wave”. Diego specializes in photography, which I believe gave us the advantage of seeing the most beautiful and picturesque sights. My mother absolutely loved the tour - perfect mix of walking and driving. Definitely recommend! Thank you for a great day!
