We did a private tour to Coimbra and Aveiro with Touch Tours in the first days after the reopening post Corona on 24 June. A super positive experience. Spacious luxurious vehicle, super punctual and caring guide called Tiago, full respect for the new corona safety measures - I travelled alone with my 3 teenage children. The commutation with Touch Tours (André) from start to finish was impeccable. The company listens to what you want to do. We are very satisfied.

Anyone who loves wine will absolutely love the Douro Valley and wine tour and the services from Oporto Sensations Tour are extraordinary. In Porto you'll be picked up at your hotel or apartment and learn all about the region as you are chauffeured to the Douro Valley. Our guide, Pedro, was incredibly knowledgeable in the region and was a joy to converse with over a lunch that was included in the very reasonable price, followed by a one hour boat tour of the valley also included. Two wineries are visited and the tours were very enjoyable and there is no pressure to purchase anything even after a few wine tastings. This is a family owned business and you'll definitely feel the personal attention which you never receive with the big commercial company tours. They offer other tours as well and this is now my go to tour operator in Porto

We enjoyed our canyoning tour today very much! Finding the center and parking was very easy. Our tour started on time with a safety check and trying on the equipment. We then headed to the canyon with two guides just for us two. After another safety check we enjoyed nice views, zip-lines, abseiling, small slides and jumps. We really enjoyed the zip-lines. There were a few nice jumps, too, which were fun, but not too dificult. Let's say up to 6m or so. We had a nice chat with our guides in a small café with lots of recommendations for this area of Portugal. The Burger and sandwich were ok, but very cheap with drinks. I'm curious how the other canyons or bike tours are with this crew. They seem to be experts and very nice. Come to visit!

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.

Discover Porto in a truly unique (and tasty) way! If you are reading this, you surely agree, these days, Porto is already a well known destination ..but did you know there are some secret places where our beloved "bacalhau" (codfish) tastes as if you would be in a Portuguese home? We will start exploring some of our most traditional and authentic "tascas", where I will share some stories behind Porto's soul...and of course, along the way, you will taste different types of cod specialties.: 8 different codfish recipes, not only tapas! In the end we will have two of my favorite codfish dishes (dinner) with local wine included. Bacalhau has a very special place in our history...and in our tables :) This is a perfect experience to discover Porto with local flavors! Até breve (See you soon)

We had a fantastic trip with Ricardo, his dog and the additional tag along dogs who meet them every day at the station which made my partners day! The scenery was ever-changing and very beautiful, assisted by the sunny warm weather. The hike itself was good for a social hiker, nothing overly challenging and Ricardo made sure that we set our own pace. The picnic was excellent with a range of produce and wine. Ricardo himself is very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable and his English is perfect. The cold beer in the train station at the end was a welcome ending to our hike. Would recommend to anyone.
