This was one of the best tours me and my wife have ever taken during our travels around the world. Premiere Tours is by far the best guiding agency we ever hired, and Jorge Bras is the most knowledgeable guide, a true gentleman, always looking out for our wellbeing. Fatima and Sintra are truly two of the most wonderful places in the planet. The spirituality of Fatima and the mysticism of Sintra with its magical fairytale palaces, made the top on our favorite places in the world list. Even though we were in Portugal for only three days on a business trip, during the pandemic, we decided to contact Premiere Tours for ideas on a one day tour, and we are so pleased that we were advised to take this one. We recommend this highly professional guiding agency to everyone visit Portugal.

I joined the Street Art Tour of Lisbon with João yesterday and cannot recommend it enough! Learning about the street art in Lisbon with this guided tour not only gives an insight into a distinct street art scene there, but also gives one a chance to see this beautiful city in a new way.

It was definitely one of the biggest highlights of the visit to Lisbon!!

Paulo gave us a full day tour (walking and van) of Lisbon with emphasis on the Jewish history. He also took us to the small Ashkenazi synagogue where we learned about the synagogue's history from one of the members and viewed many of their historical artifacts, We had a one hour lunch with him in a small restaurant where we were able to learn about his personal history and get more information about Jewish Portugal.

My wife and I met Cecile, our expert guide and photography mentor, in the Alfama area of Lisbon. We sat down and went over the basics of my experience, and they are basic, and what I wanted to learn. We then proceeded to walk for the next four hours through beautiful neighborhoods with great photography opportunities. She helped me understand how to compose city shots, along with the most important facets of the camera settings that will give the best results for artistic photos. I will use Aperture again. Cecile was great, the experience was great.

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 :)
