delightfully engaging unique way to explore! - From pick up to drop off Laura and Christiano did everything to make our day special for us. Firstly, Laura and Christiano are full of information and stories to tell which made the tour captivating. The fun of the VW T2 is a unique way to see sights and enjoy the landscape around this area. From the water onboard, organising of the entry to specific sights and the delightful lunchtime reservation at a cliff side fish restaurant leaves you fully immersed in the beauty of Lisbon and it’s special places of the Palace, Sintra and Cascais. I would say to anyone…try it because Laura and Christiano will find the best way for you to enjoy your day, sit back and relax or engage and be delighted by this unique experience.

Private, custom & unique camper can experience. Best roadtrip ever!!! - Laura & Christiano are the most amazing & kind-hearted tour guides I've ever met. You'll learn a lot from this French Parisian expats to Lisbon! They own the only refurbished volkswagen private van so the whole experiencr felt very personal and unique in so many levels. It's private and customized. I didn't feel rushed and I got to pick which sites to see. This is perfect especially if you have very limited time to do a daytrip from Lisbon.

Unforgettable experience with great tour guides in the cutest VW van - My family and I had a great time booking a tour to Sintra and Cascais with Laura and Christiano. They are both wonderful people, very friendly, professional, and punctual. Their VW van is beautiful and very clean! It was truly a unique experience. Christiano is also a great and safe driver, he was able to get us to Sintra Pena Castle through densly foggy roads. This tour truly made our entire experience in Portugal, will be recommending it to all our friends and family! Thank you so much Laura and Christiano! You are awesome!

More than just a van tour! - I very seldom write reviews on products or services however I do believe that Laura and Christiano do deserve to be recognized as a small business for exceeding our expectation. We our tour included: • Being picked up at the front door of our hotel by Christiano in the van which was clean and on time. Christiano was very comfortable to be around, it actually felt like we were being shown around town by a friend who was able to speak to us in English and French. • Our first stop was the Monserrate palace in Sintra in place of the Pena palace as suggested by Laura which we really enjoyed. Monserrate has one of the most beautiful gardens that we have visited. Additionally, due to the small number of other visitors, we did not have to wait in any lines or worry about crowds of strangers in our photos. One of the nicest things about having a private tour operator was that we could visit the locations at our own pace. If we wanted to stay longer in a location or move alone, it was simply a matter of returning to the van when we wanted. • We then had lunch at a very good restaurant which Christiano escorted us to ensure we received good service and the table reserved for us. The food was not cheap but it was worth its price. • After lunch we were taken to Cabo de Roca which has a lovely view off a cliff looking out over the Atlantic. • On the return to our hotel, we were dropped off in Cascais to walk around and grab an ice cream or Super Bock if we wanted. • The return to Lisbon followed the coast road past the Belem tower and the 25th of April Bridge. During this time, we had an easy conversation with Christiano who took note of places and activities we were interested in. Laura then provided us a nice list of suggestions and additional information through WhatsApp. (Locations to hear Fado, restaurants, antique markets to name a few.) I do have a family member who also traveled to Lisbon shortly after our visit, to whom I did recommend Van Tour Way of Life. Our time in Lisbon was short and I don’t think we would have been able to visit all of these locations without help from a local. Having ‘door to door’ service also made the experience stress free and very enjoyable. Thank you very much Laura and Christiano for the experience and sharing your van with us.

Exceptional Van Day - A great day in the company of Laura and Cristiano, a super well organized day, we visited the Pena Castle, a short lunch break in a magnificent place Azenhas do Mar, a small photo break for everyone's pleasure and a visit to Cascai with a coffee break 😁. We should all have a Laura and a Cristiano in every city 🤗 thank you again for everything and next time we will take the breakfast option 😂😍 Kind regards Cyrielle and Benjamin

Discovery and sharing await you! - Very nice day of discovery and walking. What a pleasure to spend a day at your own pace and let yourself be carried away by the advice and discussions with Laura and Christiano! The van is very beautiful and allows you to get into a vacation mood without looking at the watch. We highly recommend!

Fantastic family tour from Lisbon. - We had a wonderful trip with Cristiano and Laura. Picked up from our apartment and then taken on a private tour in their beautifully restored VW Camper Van. A very cool way to travel and we crammed in so much. We considered doing this trip ourselves and I’m so glad we went with this tour instead. Thoroughly recommended.
