We booked Andre for a tour of Pena Palace and then private transport to Porto. Andre is a fantastic guide and lovely person to spend the day with. His pride for his country is infectious - we loved learning from him. Safe driving and nice car too!
Dear Liz, Thank you . It was a pleasure! Hope to see you again soon:)
André is amazing. I hired him for a single day tour of Sintra for my family, which included two teenage boys. André was the consummate professional from start to finish. He picked us up at our hotel in his immaculate van. He arranged the palace tickets in advance and also arranged for us to skip the line and avoid many crowds and delays. He provided an in-depth, historical tour of the town and the palaces. He also answered all our questions about Portugal in general. We learned so much! He suggested a great place for lunch on our break and even surprised us with a sweet treat for dessert. André is very smart, funny and attentive. He made our day in Sintra so memorable and enriching. He is so passionate about what he does, and he demonstrates that in his tours. I would recommend him 10/10 for anything you want to do in Portugal. It was our absolute pleasure to have him guide us in Sintra.
Dear Victoria, thank you so much for your amazing review. It was a true pleasure.
While planning our tour, André was kind, thorough, and prompt with his replies. Our day trip to Sintra was the highlight of our 8 days in Portugal. André was so knowledgeable and tailored his information to keep our 6 kids (16+ yo) engaged. After our Sintra tour we found the most AMAZING restaurant for lunch where he continued to educate us on the different wines and foods from Portugal. The food and views at lunch were unbelievable. To close out our day, he took us to the supermarket and helped us pick up some wine, cheese and other yummy items. Asking our kids what the favorite part of their trip was, they ALL said our day trip to Sintra and André. We will be back to Portugal and we will do another tour with André. I can’t imagine seeing another part without his guidance. If i could give this a 11/10 I would.
Hello dear Jodi. It was really a true pleasure the day we spent together. Hope to see you all soon!
This was a truly memorable day. Andre was a wonderful tour guide for our group of six. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We visited both the magnificent Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira on a misty day which added to the magic of the setting. He arranged lunch for us at a nice oceanfront restaurant outside Cascais. We drove back to Lisbon via Estoril.
We really liked the walk. We visited the Pena Palace and the Air Museum. The help and attention to André's details in programming all the details and solving downtime was very important, and made all the difference. It was a fun walk, full of good mood and very interesting. We recommend and of course, if provided, we will repeat.
Andre was fun, knowledgeable and a great guide. He picked us up at our hotel in his very comfortable van. We visited 2 palaces and the village of Cascais. We had a wonderful day together.
Andre was a gem . His English is impeccable & he made our private tour so pleasurable with his humor . We visited the secret gardens of Quinta de Regaleiera which was mystical in its history . Travel was in a comfortable mercedes van with fresh water and AC . Lovely ! We then went to Caiscais for a fresh seafood experience . wow ! The fish was crusted and baked in salt - yum ! As an aside , we left an item in the car and he generously drove back to our hotel the next day to drop it off - along with some fresh pastries . Highly recommend him for any portugal experience .
We highly recommend Andre as he was extremely informative and personable. Great tour packed with information and lots of laughs along the way! Thank you so much Andre
André Antunes was a exceptional guide. He was knowledgeable, experienced, and adapted our day trip to provide the best options for us. Andre brought Lisbon, Sintra and Portugal to life for us, and we learned so much. We hope life will bless us with our paths crossing again!
PERFECT. From the punctuality, comfort of the tour and the enormous courtesy of Andre, adding to the landscapes and knowledge transmitted on each point of Portugal's history. Add to all this the curiosities that only those who know the places and people who live there can transmit. Thanks for Everything! Worth a lot!!!
