Amazing day - This day was the loveliest experience. Our tour guide Ana made this day so special. It was the best day of our vacation. Ana is truly wonderful human and highly professional. She showed us all these beautiful sites with so much love and dedication. We visited Pena palace and it was magical. We had lunch together in Cascais and it was mind blowing. I recommend this tour highly. Best was interacting with local and learn more about the amazing history of beautiful Portugal. Thank you Ana!!! We are forever grateful.

Pedro M is the greatest! - Pedro M is an exceptional tour guide. Friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and very professional! Had a breadth of knowledge regarding Sintra and of Portugal itself. Great recommendations on food as well. Despite some inclement weather, we still were able to see the major landmarks and made the tour one of the best ones we have had during pur visits to Europe.

Absolute must do with Pedro M - Pedro M was extremely knowledgeable about all things Portugal but also more global. He tied things back to things that we understood and had an unbelievable personality. Such a gracious guide and just general pleasure to be with. We had a van with 4 people and it was quite comfortable. Information overload in the best way and we saw all the places on our bucket list. The timing was spot on as well and pick up logistics were amazing. Pedro M was fantastic.

Excellent time in Portugal with our guide, Pedro M - Pedro M was an exceptional guide during the two days my family (four people) and I spent with him in Portugal, in the areas around Lisbon. His knowledge about Portuguese history was extensive and helpful, and he was always a pleasure to talk to. He did a great job pacing the tour according to our group's needs and improvising the best way to get around the cities we visited, despite occasional heavy crowds. We saw much more of the country and cities around Lisbon than we ever would have otherwise. The rides in the van were comfortable, and Pedro's dining recommendations were consistently great (the food was easily one of the highlights of the trip). We felt very lucky to have Pedro as our guide and to have used "I Go Portugal" for touring the country. Highly recommend all around.

Must see when traveling to Lisbon - We had a wonderful trip with our guide, Ana. She was very informative about the history of Portugal, Sintra, etc. It was a beautiful day and the sites are definitely worth seeing when traveling to Lisbon.

Miguel is the Best! - My family and I took a private day trip from Lisbon to Sintra, Cabo de Roca, Cascáis and a few other notable places. Our guide, Miguel, was fantastic. He knew so much about Portuguese history, cuisine and culture and was able to communicate everything in a very clear and interesting way. The tour was relatively customizable and we were able to choose which palace to visit in Sintra, as well as visit an abandoned convent on a hilltop (which had spectacular views of the Portuguese shoreline). Miguel knew when to guide us, and when to hang back and allow us to explore on our own. We appreciated the guidance, but also the relative freedom afforded throughout the tour. Thank you to Miguel for starting our trip off with a bang!

Great day out of Lisbon - Pedro M was an amazing guide and kept us entertained with interesting facts the entire trip. I highly recommend him as a tour guide. He was full of great tips on places to visit. We would certainly do a tour with him again and recommended him to friends who are touring Lisbon. Thank you again!
