    We had a wonderful tour with Tiago. He was a great guide Very knowledgeable and accommodating of our limitations. Everything we could have asked for in the limited amount of time we had to spend in Lisbon.

    This was our second tour with Tiago. We enjoyed him and the tour very much. We walked the walled village of Obidos and the beach town of Nazare, known for its waves and surfing. We were pleased that he had made arrangements to drive us down and back on a very steep road, eliminating an arduous walk. We had a casual lunch on the beach. We highly recommend him as your guide.

    Tiago was waiting for us in a very comfortable, clean van to take us to Sintra for the day. During the drive he gave us interesting information. He was an excellent driver and taught us the importance of getting us skip-the-line tickets to the Pena Palace, which was a godsend, considering the humongous crowds. We toured the Pena Palace and Regaleira; his explanations were clear and informative; he was very well-prepared. He suggested a wonderful restaurant with a view for lunch. We highly recommend him.

    Tiago was wonderful! He worked with our schedule to create a perfect day hitting the Lisbon highlights. We highly recommend him and wish we could have scheduled more time.

  • Joanne B.5 out of 5Mar 2025

    Tiago is a wonderful guide. He is very knowledgeable and professional with a friendly and accommodating manner. A pleasure to have spent our first morning in Lisbon with him.

  • Thomas H.5 out of 5Mar 2025

    Amazing tour guide and highly recommend! Tiago was professional, timely, knowledgeable, flexible, and very helpful. We were a party of 3 traveling from Lisbon city to Lagos in the Algarve region. Tiago arrived a few minutes early for our departure time and then during our drive educated us on various historical and natural world topics. He clearly takes pride in his work and is patient in answering our many questions about both regions. He was also flexible in adapting the tour when we wanted to change our itinerary due to weather. We highly recommend him for your tour needs.
