With only 2 full days in Lisbon, I wanted to book a tour that would allow us to see as much as possible. The most popular tours on TripAdvisor are the walking tours, however in the 4 hours they allow to only cover one, possibly two of the most popular neighborhoods in Lisbon, I kept scrolling until page 4 of tours when I came across THIS tour from Essencia da Latitude. For 5 hours we got every part of Lisbon and in the hot temps, we were privately chauffeured around by Daniel (superb!) but then stopped often for a good view or to see the various monuments or churches that make Lisbon so special. Growing up and still living in Lisbon, Daniel was an excellent guide as he knew everything! We could tell he was very proud of his city and he loved showing us as much as possible. He was a whizz at maneuvering through the vey narrow streets of old Lisbon, but then took us far away from the old part to also include the newer parts of the city. My husband and I later said we never would have been able to cover all of that ground on our own, even if we had stayed in Lisbon longer. After doing this tour, we felt we HAD seen and learned everything there was to about Lisbon and chose to spend out last day outside of the city. I also chose this tour because it was labeled with the “clean and safe” stamp and by being in a private tour we were even more assured that our contact with others would be at a minimum. Both we and Daniel wore masks, which did NOT take away from enjoying the tour, plus Daniel always opened and closed the vehicle door FOR us, also a hygiene measure. Daniel was very proud of the fact that Lisbon is making all attempts to “go green” for a lack of a better word and stops for water included a cooler with a glass flask with water and served in paper cups. We do hope that once the Covid period allows Portugal to fully recover, they can continue this effort and gain more world recognition for it. At the end of our tour, Daniel gave us many recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing and followed up per WhatsApp to make sure we had our answers and to thank us again for allowing him to show us Lisbon. We have never had such a friendly, interesting and downright good person as a tour guide before and we HIGHLY recommend Daniel and Essencia da Latitude. In closing I would just like to say that overall, we as Swiss felt SAFER in Portugal than we do here in our own country. The Portuguese continue to take the Covid situation very seriously and sanitizing and mask wearing have become the norm there, even out in the open streets...it became second nature to us and a small price to pay for being able to stay healthy and enjoy traveling in such a beautiful country as Portugal!!!!

Aveiro and Belmonte were the centers of our private tour and Diogo took us to about nine different historic sites. The hotel accommodations in Belmonte were first class and every restaurant Diogo had arranged for us seemed even better than the last. Diogo has excellent English. I am the only one of the four travelers with no Portuguese. He is a great driver and a most expert and knowledgeable tour guide.

I cannot recommend this tour company enough. I am a difficult person to please when it comes to guided tours and they exceeded my every expectations. We went on a full day tour of SIntra, with a stop at Cabo do Roca (western most point of the European Continent) and Cascais. We were picked up on time at 8.30 outside our hotel by our personal guide Hugo whose mastery of the english language is seriously impressive. he drove us to Sintra in a private care following all Covid prevention measures, and we headed first to the Pena Palace. To have so much explained to us in relation to our own knowledge of European history and architecture was absolutely worth every penny they charge. Then after checking out the village and the main national palace (externally only as per our request) we decided to check out the Quinta de Regaleira which is often overlooked by tourists. This is was highlight because Hugo was able to bring the whole history, mysticism and fun intented by the owner and his scenographer to life. We then proceeded to Cabo da Roca and then to Cascais for a lovely, authentic and delicious lunch (on our own) in Casa Velha . We then had a few hours on our own to discover Cascais and driven back to Lisbon to be left outside at our hotel at 4.30. The entire experience was stress free, rewarding and enlightning and highly recommended. Our particular thanks go to Hugo, for his patience in answering our questions, his humour and friendiness.

This tour company is a MUST do for your visit to Fatima! Fatima Experience has the best tour guides! Nelson was absolutely fantastic! He was very knowledgeable, respectful, interesting and passionate! His ability to create the right mood for his tour is very impressive, I believe it's because he really cares and believes every little detail that he is providing us. I was so happy to see the devout attitude with which he spoke about all the happenings of the apparitions. My husband and I completely enjoyed each minute of the tour. We even asked him to provide us with an additional tour the following day of the Eucharistic Miracle of Santarem! He was very accommodating and absolutely delightful!
