We had an outstanding day tour with Miguel - he is very knowledgeable, with lots of great information and a wonderful sense of humor (and perfect English). Miguel explained exactly how the day would unfold, arrived early to pick us up, adjusted the schedule to take our preferences into account, and made us feel like we did not have to worry about a thing. The vehicle was spotless and comfortable, and Miguel is a superb driver. Miguel knew the personnel at the sites we visited, and had very cordial relationships with them.
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We truly appreciate your kind words and are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you again on another adventure soon!
We had an amazing tour with Carlos, he was very knowledgeable about all the places he took us, always trying to accommodate us to the best he could, with water, local pastries And he took us to an amazing local restaurant that we would never found it if we did by ourselves
Pedro M is a wealth of knowledge about Portugal's history and current-day society. He expertly weaved the past and the present on our visit to Coimbra, a fascinating city with the third-oldest university in Europe that boasts an extraordinary Baroque library. We had a delightful lunch at a spot he suggested in the center of the medieval old town and learned a great deal about the role of the Catholic Church in Portugal during our visit to the Santa Cruz Church and monastery. I would highly recommend a tour with him.
Thank you very much for your kind words, its very important for us that you enjoyed your day out with us. Hope to see you again in Portugal soon big hug from Lisbon. Pedro
We had a FANTASTIC tour of Coimbra and the primary reason was because of our tour guide Miguel. We felt like we were in a history class, and he was able to share so much information about the area, the country, and. It’s culture. He was such an engaging person and so enjoyable to spend the day with. I would HIGHLY recommend booking a tour with him, if wanting to know about Lisbon, Sinatra, Coimbra or anywhere else you want to see. Was a great tour!
