What an amazing day with a very knowledgeable guide. by the end of the day we thought he may know everyone. The sharing of the history and the willingness to change the plans based on our inquiries was appreciated. Wish we had more time to spend with him. Great guide and you will not be disappointed

Joao was the best guide and we travel a lot. He was very knowledgeable and professional but also very easy going and friendly. He continuously customized the tour to accommodate how we were feeling. We were picked up at the airport and went to Sintra, along the coast and to Porto. He brought us to a great restaurant for lunch and arranged things to avoid crowds. We had an amazing day thanks to Joao.

João was just what we needed. He made sure we knew that our preferences were his to make happen. He spent time & energy making certain we got to everything we wanted to see and do. Transportation was clean and comfortable. Excellent English and spoke loudly and clearly such that everyone in the car could hear and ask questions.
