A walk through history - Ana was very friendly, genuine, and outspoken. It was a pleasure talking to her. She shared a wealth of details about the history of the buildings and places we visited, and we truly learned so much from her. She was also very thoughtful, offering to help us take photos and even showing us the best angles for capturing the sights. There was never a dull moment, thank you for the wonderful tour!

Galway family on tour of Sintra. - We had an amazing day with our guide Miguel, who collected us at our hotel. We travelled comfortably to Sintra, the Pena Palace and village. Also to Roca Cape, Cascais and Estoril. Miguel booked lunch for us in a great restaurant overlooking the sea. We had an enjoyable walk at each stop and Miguel was a fountain of information at every location. The tour was a real highlight of our first trip to Lisbon. Thank you Miguel.

Wonderful tour - Miguel was outstanding. He was an encyclopedia of knowledge and went over and above. While we could get into the Pena Palace, we went to another one that was equally magnificent. Can’t say enough about this day-long tour.

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.
