What travelers say about Pedro
5.0(72 reviews)- Cheryl T.5 out of 5Jul 2025
We very much enjoyed our private tour of Lisbon without Pedro. My husband has back issues so Pedro recommended a car tour which worked out perfect on those steep bumpy hills! He was very knowledgeable and a great story teller. We highly recommend !

Pedro is hands-down one of the best tour guides in Lisbon. He showed my clients exceptional hospitality on the Tuk-Tuk tour, ensuring they were always cool, comfortable, and well-cared for—even accommodating some mobility limitations with grace and ease. Beyond his professionalism and warmth, Pedro’s deep knowledge of the region made the experience truly unforgettable. My clients absolutely loved their time with him. Highly, highly recommended!

We had a greet tour! Pedro picked us up at our Airbnb and led us to all of the historic spots in Lisbon. Pedro was kind, informative, and flexible. Great intro to the city.

What fun we had on Pedro’s tour via the tuk tuk! Lisbon is very hilly and this tour was a perfect way to get an overview of the city. Pedro is very knowledgeable and patient and he knows where to go for the best gelato and custard pastries in town. We are four older adults who felt very taken care of and comfortable in Pedro’s hands. We highly recommend this enjoyable tour of Lisbon.

This was an excellent tour. we had 4 tuktuk's and all the drivers were great, very accomodating and helpful and aware of the age of the group. even had a step stool to get in and out of the tuktuk! We saw a lot of Lisbon and learned so much about it. the food was amazing...A full lunch of very special food and wine.

This was a very full day, but Pedro made it delightful. We got a full history lesson on Portugal in a very good way. we saw 2 beautiful places and he added things just for us. He was very considerate of the age of the group...He was a lot of fun to e with.
