Ruben was a great guide. He picked us up at the Lisbon airport and took us on a 4 hour tour of Sintra and Castle of the Moors. Hugo was easy to work with and responds quickly on email. Would recommend this tour and company.

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.

Despite having become exceedingly popular and a bit crowded in recent years, Porto is worth a long visit and Ricardo made sure we would experience the city in the best possible way, with a local whose wealth of knowledge about the history of this vibrant city made it so enjoyable. The wine tasting included a visit to one of the lesser known Port Wine brands, an up and coming enterprise rooted in tradition that caters to smaller groups and allows for a personalized and fact-filled experience, coupled with some excellent wine!

There are several cities which benefit from the privilege of being near watercourses. Aveiro is no exception, as its stands out thanks to its famous Ria, abundant in fish and waterbirds. The "moliceiros", unique boats with simple decoration reminding the naif painting, are also connected to the ria, still collecting the seaweed- a great fertilizer for arid lands.

My daughter and I took a walking tour with Norberto Lopes Pinto in Porto. He was by far the best tour guide we had during our stay in Porto and Lisbon. He is very knowledgeable about the history of his Country. Whether it be architectural, political, or about local gems. His personality is warm and inviting, with a good sense of humor. He created the perfect balance of pointing something out and "moving on" and "staying still" to take in, and learn about about something of important interest. Having Norberto as our first guide raised the bar for each guide after him. A tough act to follow! We're so thankful to have had him show us Porto. Highly recommended.

Amazing and unforgettable Atlantic tour with young children. We had an awesome day with our guide, Elena, as we arrived we felt immediately a warm feeling and high professional service. The store is strategically located in central Aveiro. The bikes and equipment are in perfect conditions. We had the most incredible bike tour with the entire family (two kids 8 and 5 years old). We toured the Aveiro area until we reached Costa Nova, a colorful pretty little town with a beautiful beach. Elena was great with the kids, super friendly and very good explaining the points of interest and providing insights about Portuguese culture. Highly recommended!!! Gracias por el hermoso paseo Elena!!

Went on this tour last October, and had a wonderful experience! Silvia was our guide and she was so amazingly sweet and thoughtful. We travelled with a french couple and she literally explained everything in two languages: French and English. Not only is that extremely nice, I can only imagine the energy that takes :) The whole experience of driving through Douro, the wines, the people we spoke to and the delicious wines we could taste: would definitely recommend. Love, Dennis & Vera from the Netherlands
