Exceptional and Enjoyable Tour - Luis is a knowledgeable and personable guide who provided very interesting information on the local culture, history and architecture. He proceeded at a comfortable pace and readily answered all questions. We felt like we were on a tour with a family friend. A great experience. It was so interesting that the time passed quickly. We learned a great deal and enjoyed our experience.

Lus (guide) is best to take you through Glamour & Decay! - Lus, our guide was great! Very friendly and super knowledgeable/informative. The pace was good with opportunity to sit if you needed to along the way. Booked the morning tour so the temperature was perfect. Would definitely recommend this tour (and guide!) to get a high level history over- view! Nina - Canada.

This tour is a "must" for history lovers! - The tour with Luis was very enriching! Although we have been to Cascais many times before, he was able to show us new places that are not yet known to us. He also has excellent historical knowledge, so now we walk through you city with a completely different knowledge. Some things are now also opening up to us from a completely different angle. Luis took our wishes and needs into account during the tour and was able to incorporate them flexibly and confidently into his program! Highly recommended! We hope to come back to Cascais/Lisbon sometime and then book another tour with him!

Excellent guided tour of Cascais with Luis - Very nice visit. You benefit from the guide exclusively (we were in a couple). This allows us to ask the questions we want and go at our own pace. Luis speaks very good French. We recommend this activity without hesitation.

Enjoyable & informative walk - We had a very enjoyable walk around Cascais . Luis with his comprehensive knowledge brought Cascais to life. We loved hearing about the people, the architecture, the links to James Bond and with the UK. It was a very hot morning and Luis took the walk slowly and found shaded spots. Thank you Luis.
