We use flytographer all over the world when we travel, but it was fun to do a shoot here in Victoria during COVID. I would highly suggest if you're looking for good photos of your family.

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.

We took a full day tour with Ptsensations. Pedro was so amazing and accommodating. He had a perfect day planned for us. We went to Pena palace first and Pedro had tips for us to have a great experience. Then we went to the western most point in Europe which was so beautiful. Then off to Cascais with lot of information in between about history and cool facts. We had lunch in Cascais and saw beautiful beaches. Because we had some time left, he even took us to Belém to get us some pastries. His vehicle was clean, air conditioned and he had wifi and chargers for us to charge our phones. It was a hot day and he had wAter for us. Overall it was an amazing day with a great guide. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a tour in Portugal

We had exception service on our transfer tour from Porto to Lisbon. Punctual pickup from our hotel. Coimbra, Fatima and Tomar were our stops. Highly recommend Tomar. No tourists and it felt like a person experience. Coimbra - DescriptionCoimbra, a riverfront city in central Portugal and the country’s former capital, is home to a preserved medieval old town and the historic University of Coimbra. Built on the grounds of a former palace, the university is famed for its baroque library, the Biblioteca Joanina, and its 18th-century bell tower. In the city’s old town lies the 12th-century Romanesque cathedral Sé Velha. Fatima - DescriptionFátima is a central Portuguese town that's home to the Sanctuary of Fátima, a Catholic pilgrimage site. The Capelinha das Aparições marks the spot where the Virgin Mary allegedly appeared in 1917. Other sacred sites include the Basílica de Nossa Senhora do Rosário, with its golden angels, and the modern church of Igreja da Santíssima Trindade. The Museu de Arte Sacra e Etnologia exhibits religious artifacts. Tomar - The Convent of Christ (Portuguese: Convento de Cristo/Mosteiro de Cristo) is a former Roman Catholic convent in Tomar, Portugal. Originally a 12th-century Templar stronghold, when the order was dissolved in the 14th century the Portuguese branch was turned into the Knights of the Order of Christ, that later supported Portugal's maritime discoveries of the 15th century.
