Great tour and great guide - From the very start, Helena made the tour “our” day—she made every effort to meet our expectations. And while doing so, she was both timely and flexible. The day was lovely. Thank you, Helena!

Best tour with Helena_ tile painting, wine tasting and round-abouts. - Five stars to our tour guide Helena!! A tour guide is SO important, they are are the ambassadors for the tour company and the region, they can make or break the experience. Helena knew the area well and was so informative. Helena's impromptu roundabout history tour was such fun. The tile tour and painting was a highlight of our trip, as was our seaside lunch ( fresh and delicious) overlooking the ocean. Helena was amazing, engaging and right on target in accessing our needs and pace. Thank You, Mel and Sue

The 1st and best thing to do in Portugal - Thank you Ricardo for the absolutely perfect day! We truly cannot thank you enough; starting with breathtaking site seeing, to tastings at the world’s top ranked fish market, to learning about and then painting tile, to incredible wine tasting! Your ability to help us learn about culture, food, history, business, and life in Portugal made this the best tour we have ever experienced. We cannot wait to return for another adventure!

10/10 Amazing - If I could give this trip, a 10 out of 10, I would. Private tour with Helena that was out of this world. She is so personable, extremely knowledgeable about Portugal and the areas that we visited, and added so many little extras to the trip. We went to an amazing, indoor market full of local produce and fish and then onto two tile factories where we got an in-depth lesson at the first about the making of tiles and at the second got to create our own. Then it was off to the beach through some very scenic countryside for a lovely fish lunch , proceeded by local cheese and olives with the sardine pate. Then we spent the latter part of the afternoon wine tasting again with a cheeseboard and scrumptious desserts. The day totally exceeded our expectations and we had an awesome time. Thank you once again Helena for such an amazing day and the lovely parting gift.

A great guide & tour! - This was a wonderful experience. Sesimbra was beautiful. Our guide Miguel said he was our best friend for the day. It felt the same for us. He was knowledgeable & interesting. We had interesting conversations. He reserved lunch for my wife and I at a wonderful restaurants by the sea. We don’t drink alcohol, so he was flexible and we did other site seeing. Miguel was respectful & kind. I have limited mobility he was thoughtful & helpful. We will book another tour with him whenever the opportunity arises again. Also, his English was excellent.

Once in a lifetime experience - Nidia was the best guide ever. She treated us like family. We visited the town she used to live in. We saw sites that were unique, we met some of her friends. She introduced us to food that was SUPERB. Lots of laughing which was super. Best of all; we made a New Friend. Keep on rocking Nidia.

You must try this tour! - Ricardo was a wonderful host! He tailored the day to what we wanted to focus our time on. The painting of the tiles and learning about the tile making process was epic! Although it was a cloudy day, our visit to coastal town was lovely. Since Ricardo knew that I loved lighthouses, he took the extra effort to drive us to a beautiful location where we could see up close a wonderful lighthouse. Next time we are in Lisbon, we will most certainly ask for Ricardo when booking our next tour! He was the best of the best!
