  • I first did a tour with Diogo four years ago, and I have had the pleasure of doing several more since. I am always truly amazed at his knowledge of Portugal, and the passion that he has for his job. […] I have referred many friends and clients to him, and every single one of them couldn't have been more thankful for the recommendation. Diogo is not just the best tour guide in Portugal — but the best tour guide I've ever had in any country that I have ever visited.

  • Diogo has been the best tour guy we've ever experienced. He is extremely well-versed about the history through the decades and centuries of all the sites we visited in the Lisbon and Cascais areas. Diogo provides door-to-door service for all his clients and is very responsive. When we return to Portugal, we will definitely be hiring Diogo for all our tours.

  • Diogo was an amazing guide for us today! We had a great day trip visiting the Pena Palace, Sintra, eating some amazing travesseiros, Cabo da Roca, and an amazing drive along the coast back to Lisbon. It was a full day of fun, knowledge, and entertainment. It ended up being not at all what we expected — it was so much greater than that. If you come to Lisbon, visit Sintra, and you simply must have Diogo be your guide.

  • A wonderful experience. Lisbon is a city of details, with stories to discover on every corner — and our guide Diogo was spectacular. He took us all through the city, to the must-see sights and to quieter places that deserve to be found. He told us histories, legends and stories along the way. To finish, he joined us for a Bacalhau lunch at a traditional Portuguese restaurant — well priced, excellent quality, and a place locals go to as well. Highly, highly recommended.

  • I couldn't have asked for a better driver, tour guide, foodie critic — amazing personality and pure joy to be around. So helpful, so patient, especially dealing with five women who have five different personalities. He helped us in so many ways that were above and beyond what any driver could have done, from carrying bags up three flights of stairs to showing us great restaurants. If you are ever in Portugal, please use him.

  • A great, attentive professional. We saw Lisbon and Sintra from a different angle — as though we lived here. Throughout the whole tour, we felt like family.
