“We took the 4 hour tuk tuk tour of Lisbon. We’ve always enjoyed tuk tuk tours and this was no exception. Our tour guide Manuel M was fantastic! Right from the first email he sent he was so helpful. He picked us up right on time. He asked if there was anything specific we wanted to see. We said the itinerary that they had with Viator was great but we also wanted to go to the bakery that was so well known, Pasteis de Belem. He took us all around Lisbon.

“The tour is a great option to get to know Lisbon and its history. It can be overwhelming trying to understand the unique characteristics of the various neighbourhoods without a guide. The tour allowed for the perfect introduction to the city and the comprehensive background and narrative provided by Ricardo brought the stories to life. Each stop gives a new perspective and the viewpoints make Lisbon a dream destination. I would highly recommend this tour and Ricardo as a guide.”

“We were lucky to get Rafa and "Betsy" for our trip. The tour was absolutely incredible! Rafa is not only extremely knowledgeable about Sintra's history and culture but also incredibly entertaining. He made the tour a truly engaging and enjoyable experience for everyone. The tour itself was a fantastic blend of history, nature, and adventure. We visited some of Sintra's most iconic landmarks, learned about the fascinating stories behind them, and enjoyed breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and beaches. Even my teenager said it was "one of the best days of my life." If you're looking for a unique and memorable way to explore Sintra, I highly recommend this…”

“Our guide, Daniel, was very knowledgeable and personable. However i assumed on a Jewish tour we would visit the synagogues. We did not. I am very disappointed. It was an expensive tour. Again, Daniel was great but I do not know how you have a Jewish tour without going to the Synagogues…..”
