A trip not to be missed! - Jose or JJ was a brilliant guide bringing us to the best places at the best time. A great story teller and passionate about informing his passengers on a wide range of topics. We couldn't have asked for more!!

The highlight of our trip because of José - I booked this trip on a whim because we were only in Portugal for a couple of days so I wanted to optimize our time wisely. It turned out to be the highlight of our trip because of our amazing and well-informed tour guide, José!
He started the journey by taking us to Pastéis de Belém to try the most delicious pastries we've ever had, and then ended it in the charming town of Sintra. Along the way, he took us to tour Queluz Palace and to sight-see at various stops. He even took us to a local seafood restaurant he frequents, and it was hands-down some of the best seafood we've had!
I highly recommend this package. Request José if you can!

Simply Amazing - Our first time to Portugal and we fell in love with the country and with our tour guide Jose! We’ve been to other European countries and have done tours but Lisbon on Wheels did a fantastic job and went above and beyond. Jose was a wealth of information and so attentive. His attention to details regarding our tour or our needs was exceptional. We love it so much we booked another tour with him again!! The locations Jose took us, the castles, the eateries, and sites were unforgettable. The secrets spots with noteworthy picturesque scenery were the icing on the cake! Thank you Jose for such a fun and memorable vacation. Highly recommend using Lisbon on Wheels, we definitely will on our next trip back!

Amazing experience ! - Our host Jose made the day amazing from start to finish. We saw the most beautiful places and were able to alter the tour to suit our interests. Jose was informative and captivating but also gave us our own space. Comfortable vehicle, well allocated timing with stops and very good value for money. Highly recommend, ask for Jose!

So disappointing - What a let down. I booked this experience a few months in advance and was really looking forward to the day spent with my mother. Although our tour guide was nice and accommodating it was a national holiday and the wineries were closed and we didn't get to see several things on this tour. If I would have been informed of this I would have changed my dates or not booked at all. However the tour operator never informed us of this. We were told by our guide. We did not get to see Sintra, a UNESCO world heritage site, Castelo dos Mouros, or Park and National Palace of Pena. We did not see a winery and tasted a few wines in a wine shop. We stopped at a place called Apples Beach (English translation) for lunch at a place called Neptune. The food was over priced and not very good. The worst food we have had in Portugal was here and the service was poor too. It would have been nice to actually see and learn about the areas that we were supposed to see. However that didn't happen. For the money we paid this should have been so much better. As I said before our guide was fine however we did not get the activities we paid for and anticipated.
