The interior, also covered with polychrome tiles, has a ceiling covered exotic wood, donated in the mid-twentieth century by the Oliveira Lopes family.

Antonio was an exceptional tour guide and one of the highlights of my trip to Portugal. He was accommodating, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure I had the best possible experience. He communicated with me several times before my booking to make sure that my itinerary was tailored to include all the locations I wanted to visit. But on top of this he included several of his own recommendations which became my favourite sites. It was like he knew exactly what I wanted to see! Antonio made me feel completely comfortable throughout the journey. I was a solo traveler with a tight schedule. His van was spotless and very comfortable which made our long days of sightseeing enjoyable and relaxing. He also took countless photos for me and was very accommodating. I really appreciated this. Over the course of my three days in Portugal, Antonio helped me see an incredible number of places while sharing fascinating information about the country's history, monuments, and culture. We visited the Peace Park and admired its impressive sculptures, explored Costa Nova with its iconic colorful fishermen’s houses, and toured several beautiful churches in the Aveiro region (Valega and Cortegaca). In Porto, I was able to visit everything on my wish list, including the Chapel of Souls, the city’s cathedrals, and São Bento Station. Antonio didn’t simply drop me off at attractions, he accompanied me to the sites, walked through them with me, shared valuable insights, and even helped me take fantastic photos. He joined me inside Livraria Lello as well and took amazing photos I will treasure forever. Antonio’s time management was also excellent. We covered an impressive amount of ground in a short period, but somehow the trip never felt rushed. Every minute was used efficiently. As a solo traveler it felt refreshing to never had to worry about logistics because Antonio handled everything seamlessly. I enjoyed my time with him so much that I booked him for all three days of my stay in Portugal. He made my trip truly worthwhile and I would not hesitate to book him again on my next visit. I want to recommend him to all of my family and friends. I am looking to visit a lot of counties and I wish there was an Antonio in each one! :)

Dear Odette and Gabi, Thank you very much for your kind review, it's been a great pleasure meeting you and being part of your journey and I'm very glad that I was within your expectations. Hope to see you soon, Friendly, António
The tour was excellent from the begging. António Meneses is the best host. Tour was private and we had the opportunity to enjoy everything in both towns. No rush was the rule of the day. If you go to Lisbon, need to select António's tours.
Thank you very much Betty and Jorge, It's been a great pleasure meeting you and being part of your journey and, I'm very glad that you enjoyed it. Hope to see you soon, Friendly, António
Antonio is by far the best tour guide in all of Portugal. He went out of his way for us so many times. By the end of our time together, he felt like family. We are a family of 5 and there was plenty of room in his van for a comfortable trip. Antonio is extremely kind, very knowledgeable, and cares for all his guests. This was our second tour with him on the same trip. It was long, Lisbon to Porto and back in one day. He knows all the best places to eat and sightsee. Personally we loved Porto, and would have liked more time, but we only had the one day on our trip. The next day we had to fly home, and Antonio even took us to the airport, walked us in and helped us navigate the airport, at no extra charge. He had picked us up from the airport at the beginning of the trip as well and even gave us complimentary snacks, wine, and juice when we arrived. We used him for a tour to Sintra and historical sites outside of Lisbon earlier in our trip. He was able to reserve tables for us at amazing restaurants, and joined us for many meals. Another great thing about Antonio is that he has no specific end time on his tours so you can see as much as you want and not get cut short. I cannot say enough good things about him. He even called to say happy birthday to my wife after we had returned from the trip!

Thank you very much for your kind comment. It's been a great pleasure meeting you and being part of your journey and I'm very glad that you enjoyed it. Hope to see you soon, Friendly, António
