Portugal Private Car Tours

“Incredible Tour and Guide”

We only had three days in Lisbon and hoped to get a good sense of the city and area. This tour with Marisa was a spectacular look and lesson about Portugal, Lisbon and Sintra. Her knowledge of the area was amazing and, even better, she put things in cultural context. Marisa is a great guide and you see and learn a lot on the drive to Sintra. Peña Palace is an amazing palace and she breathes life into it as she shares its history. The Palace and grounds afford amazing views. Just to note there are a lot of stairs and steps so a tour of the palace is not appropriate for those with mobility challenges. Sintra, itself, is beautiful and absolutely charming. We are so glad we did this tour with Marisa and were left with an appreciation of Lisbon and desire to return again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an educational tour.

“An Unforgettable Day in Évora and Alentejo with an Exceptional Guide”

This was one of the best day trips I have ever taken, and Diogo made all the difference. We started with a drive to Évora, where I visited the ancient Roman Temple of Diana and the medieval cathedral. Along the way, Diogo shared the history of the regions we would be visiting, as well as an introduction to Portugal’s wine culture and winemaking traditions. After a relaxing visit to Évora, I enjoyed my first wine tasting of the day. Diogo is a sommelier, and his knowledge added tremendously to the experience. He explained the origins of the grapes, the characteristics of the region, and the different wines I would be tasting, which made me appreciate them even more. We then had a fantastic lunch featuring local cuisine at a charming restaurant recommended by Diogo. It was exactly the kind of authentic, relaxed dining experience I was hoping for. From there, we visited a cork factory, where I learned a remarkable amount about how cork is harvested and processed and the many products it is used to create—from wine stoppers to textiles and furniture. We finished the afternoon at a beautiful vineyard estate, where I took a jeep tour of the property followed by another excellent tasting of Portuguese wines. This was my third tour with Diogo, and once again he created an amazing experience. From selecting memorable places to visit, to sharing his knowledge of Portugal’s wine culture, history, and traditions, Diogo added tremendous depth to the entire day. He designed the perfect day trip, with an ideal balance of history, culture, wine, and food—all at a relaxed and enjoyable pace. Diogo’s charming personality, background as a sommelier, extensive knowledge, and genuine passion for what he does make him an exceptional guide. I would not hesitate to book more tours with Diogo the next time I am in Lisbon. He is not only an outstanding guide, but a wonderful person, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

“Quick 4 hour tour”

Joao was great at keeping me informed. At last minute, he had to send a substitute guide, Patrick, so our review is about Patrick. Patrick was wonderful, informative about history, the city culture and an excellent driver. Took us for pastries and talked us through at the Discoverers monument. Highly recommend him.
