  • This review begins with our tremendous thanks and appreciation for what was the most amazing and memorable time in Portugal. Diego was - professional, engaging, kind, generous and a true pleasure to spend time with. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and learning more about Portugal/Lisboa from him. He truly went out of his way and above and beyond to ensure our visit was everything we could have hoped for and more! Please consider us your champions! We look forward to our paths crossing again.

  • Diogo and his team were incredible guides, and not only provided scholarly details on every part of our trip, from history to pop culture, but also hunted our an amazing restaurant just off the beaten path. I’ve been on dozens of tours all over the world and this company is at the top - perfectly balancing professionalism with a relaxed and stress-free vibe, a combination that only comes from experience,

  • Fabulous trip to Sintra this afternoon. Diogo was friendly, punctual and very knowledgeable about Portuguese history. He introduced me to Travesseiro pastry, a Ginja shot and the Boca do Inferno. Highly recommend.

  • Amongst the hundreds of tours in over 70 countries that I have taken in my life, Diogo is the BEST tour guide I have ever had! Look no further, stop here and book Diogo. He has a wealth of knowledge about everything Portugal, he is sincere, trustworthy, accommodating, friendly, and will be sure to keep you safe. I had THE BEST experience on my day with Diogo, packing so many things into the limited time I had to get away from Lisbon (and he is very responsive to whatever pace you want to take, fast or slow!). He knows all the best ways to see the touristy things you want to see, but also takes you to many places that are off the beaten track, little known to tourists and truly amazing. He will teach you things and show you places that are not in a guide book. You will be so happy that you booked with Diogo!!!!

  • Drive to Sintra was well worth the money! Our driver Diogo was very professional, flexible, and educational throughout the day, meeting all of our needs without hesitation. He was able to change plans on the spur of the moment as the day progressed to leave us with beautiful views, memories, tasty foods, and good company. I would highly recommend this service to anyone who wants a personalized private tour with pickup to and from the hotel in Lisbon.

  • We had a fantastic day with Diogo! From a flawless pickup to a hidden gem up Santa Eufémia to another amazing recommendation for lunch and a perfect ending with sweets from Sintra and fresh natas in Belém, there was not a dull moment. Diogo was knowledgable with lots of stories and bits of history you cannot read up in a standard travel guide. We enjoyed the conversation, the sights, the food and the flexibility making this one of our most memorable travel experiences. I totally recommend to ask Diogo for advice to discover the non-standard parts of a Sintra trip and to avoid tourist.

  • Wir haben uns für eine private Tour entschieden, weil wir auf Gruppenzwang verzichten wollten. Wir wurden nicht enttäuscht! Diogo ist nicht einfach nur ein Guide, der sein Programm abspult. Es war wie eine Reise mit einem Freund! Er wusste viele interessante Dinge zu erzählen und hat sich zu 100% nach unseren Wünschen gerichtet. Hinzu kam ein extrem leckerer Lunch. Wer Sintra individuell erleben möchte, ist bei Diogo bestens aufgehoben. Wir danken für einen wundervollen erlebnisreichen Tag und tolle Eindrücken, die wir so schnell nicht vergessen werden!

  • Our driver Diogo was an absolute delight! He drove us to and from Lisbon to Sintra--he was punctual, flexible (we changed our pickup time slightly), and incredible knowledgeable about Portugal and really everything. He was excellent with our two children as well. Diogo is the man--would highly recommend him for any tours and sightseeing!

  • Of all the tours I've taken in my life, Diogo stands out as the best guide I've ever had. His deep knowledge of Portugal, warm personality, and total professionalism made my day unforgettable. He perfectly balanced the famous sights with hidden local gems, and arranged everything at my pace. Truly the ultimate travel experience. I'll be booking this again, just waiting for the time being.

  • Grateful for the wonderful, knowledgeable, and hospitable support I was lucky to have on my trip. I was delighted and impressed with the rich information Diogo provided about Lisbon and Portuguese history in general, and I did appreciate his enthusiasm in guiding me to specific locations that were exactly what I wanted. Diogo is the generous and kind guide one would always want to have around. I am thankful to have met him and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to have an enjoyable and comfortable time in Lisbon.
