Anne was absolutely great in showing us the city and its hidden gems and in taking us around in the charming streets of Lisbon. She perfectly managed to adapt the 3-hours tour to our interests and requests. She immediately made us love the city and its traditions. She is a young but extremely knowledgeable local who knows almost everything about the city and its history. Anne is very friendly and open too. We found in her a friend and we kept staying together even after the tour, tasting ‘vinho verde’ in an unknown but typical place in Alfama. Thank you Anne!!

Did you know that in Fátima, there is a Sanctuary Square twice the size of St Peters Square in the Vatican? This and much more in a half-day Tour to the religious capital of Portugal. Fátima – 150 kilometers (90 miles) north of Lisbo, Fátima, where you’ll spend time exploring the religious site, visiting the Chapel of Apparitions to see the stone pillar that marks the spot where Virgin Mary appeared, the Shrine that is twice the size of St Peter's Square in the Vatican, the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fátima and absolving all the religious atmosphere and serenity that this whole location offers! Your guide will give you space and time to enjoy the sight, but of course give you all the information, insight, interesting facts and everything you need to know about Fátima and the Portuguese Catholic and religious traditions! Fatima is a landmark not just for Portugal history, but also for the catholic worship worldwide – it’s definitely a place to go, let us take you there!

My girlfriend and I decided to go for this tour/experience around Lisbon to enjoy our last day in Portugal. No Regrets. We really had an amazing time, from Cascais to Sintra, going through landmarks such as Cabo do Roca (most western point of Continental Europe) to the Peña Palace, discovering wonderful sights and with the lead of our Guide exploring secret areas, with less tourist and more natural experiences. It was a pleasure to discover the region with a local, which has a passion for the place he grew up in. I would recommend it over and over. Particular thanks to Ruben.

We hired Lux On Wheels for a five day, five night excursion from Lisbon to Porto. We also engaged them to pick us up at the airport and on departure day return to the airport. The overall experience was exceptional, highly custom, and fairly priced. I came up with a tentative itinerary from Lisbon to Porto that included sites in Metro Lisbon (Day 1), more Lisbon (Day 2), Sintra and Cascais (Day 3), a coastal drive to Porto (Day 4), Porto and Douro River valley (Day 5). The return to Lisbon to catch a flight the next morning was late on day 5, but very efficiently handled even though a long day. The roads in Portugal that we took seemed pretty new, and divided interstate type. It made for smooth traveling in the nice Mercedes sedan. Our driver Joao was very professional, and easy to work with as we managed each site and our journey north, and then back south to Lisbon. A few highlights: First, we spent two nights in the Penha Longa resort for easy access to Sintra, and to position for our northern coastal drive. It is a five-star resort worth your time and convenience. If we go back to Portugal, we will return to this nice resort and reserve a Jr Suite again. Second, my wife enjoys churches, ocean views, and food. Our driver Joao made certain we made key stops to see magnificent old churches, breathtaking ocean views, and over the top lunch spots which typically had amazing fresh fish! He expertly showed us what we needed to see, and we moved forward to the next site, and then the next site, until we reached Porto. We couldn’t see everything so we had to carefully manage our time to max out each day. Third, somehow we saw 80% of the key highlights in Porto on day 5 morning (including the Harry Potter bookstore!), and then headed east to see the Douro River Valley (wine region). Whatever you do, make time for this wine region excursion which is incredibly beautiful. It was the highlight of our trip! From Joao’s recommendation we had lunch at DOC chef Rui Paula’s restaurant. It is nesteled in by the Douro river with vineyards on the surrounding valley hills. I have been to Tuscany more than once and this location and restaurant eclipsed any Tuscany spot I have visited. He is a world class chef, and the food is beyond words! Joao then took us to a winery and to the super hip Six Senses Douro Valley resort. It is hard to summarize how unique and special our Day 5 was! While we were “on the go”, it is a day that we will never forget, and wouldn’t have happened without Joao and Lux On Wheels. Thank you Joao and Lux On Wheels for a custom tour of your beautiful country!

We were lost in Lissabon until we found the most amazing tour guide Lino Ribeiro. He made our day because of his enthusiasm, knowledge and jokes. We couldn't discover Lissabon in a better way than we did with Lino! He spoke perfect english and showed us places we didn't even know it existed. We learned so much from him and with the tuktuk we where able to see the whole town in one day! I definitely recommend a tuktuk tour with Lino if you want the best impression of Lissabon in one day. Hope to come back someday! Lots of love, a grateful dutch family.

Although the weather was not on our side, I really enjoyed this sunset cruise! When I decided to book a sailboat cruise on the Tagus, I struggled to find any tours still operating, especially on New Year's Eve. Luckily I saw one of the Tagus Cruises ships on the river in Belem and searched for them online. The booking was easy, we were six people in total. The skipper was very friendly and told me a lot of cool sailing stories while also explaining how the boat worked! We had a complimentary drink and although it rained for a bit, we saw a rainbow at the end and that made it all worth it. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend the "Taste of Lisboa Food Tours" - Filipa went out of her way to research local places to shop and eat to fit my clean Keto-diet (Gluten/Dairy Free, Grass Feed/Grass Finished eats, and pasture-raised poultry), the farmers markets were amazing! I know now where to go grab a coffee and lunch and shop. Thanks Filipa!
