Take it From Our Past Guests
We had a wonderful time in Évora! Filipa was an outstanding tour guide. We saw so much together!
My daughter and I had a great tour with Andre at Portuguese for a Day. Andre was well-informed, punctual, and professional. He got us into all the sites ahead of the crowds and made great recommendations for the rest of our stay. In fact, he helped us secure “hard-to-get” dinner reservations at his favorite fado restaurant for TONIGHT! We are so excited! Thank you, Andre!
Absolutely amazing tour and a wonderful experience overall! Andre was so personable, incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. He made our first trip to Portugal unforgettable. Will definitely recommend his company to all of our friends planning Lisbon vacations.
After sightseeing on our own for a week, this tour made me realize how invaluable a guide can be. Filipa made everything so easy, stress free, and fun. We did two tours in two days and by the end, she was part of our family. She thought of every detail and even accommodated my aging parents. You will not regret booking a tour with them!!
We are having tea with our pastries and reliving the happy memories of today. We really, really enjoyed meeting you and appreciated all that you shared. We are also very happy you suggested early admission to Pena Palace. It was so worth it! We also loved Regaleira! Both places are a photographer’s paradise. Thank you for being so warm, welcoming and patient. Will definitely recommend you and the tour to others.
Working with Filipa to create a tour for the five of us in our party, we worked on a two-day tour that took us around many great sites inside and outside of Lisbon, while working in some very good wine tasting. Since this was a first time in Portugal, we felt we wanted to get the most of our time and we soooo many pictures to remember our visit for some time. Our tour guide was the main reason our time there was complete. He seemed well prepared for our days out, was quite knowledgeable (and patient) answering all of our questions, and really went out of his way to make us all feel comfortable in Lisbon and the towns we visited. Now we know so much more about the region, and looking forward to a return trip.
Filipa was our guide and she was nothing short of phenomenal. Tour was excellent and she pointed us towards excellent food spots multiple times. Probably the best tour of our two week vacation. Also a great way to see multiple spots near Lisbon in a single day.
This was an excellent escape for a day outside of the city. We got to see how the locals live and saw some of the most stunning mountains and beaches on our stops. Our guide Andre was interesting and shared so much information with us, treating us like we were lifelong friends. Be sure to eat some seafood for lunch in Setubal.
