Great day exploring Sintra and the surrounding area - We had a fantastic tour with our guide Vasco, and highly recommend the experience! He picked us up right by our hotel and we had a very comfortable ride out to Sintra. Vasco is very friendly and knowledgeable, and it was a pleasure to spend the day with him. He tailored the tour to our interests, and did a great job keeping our teenagers engaged all day. When one person in our group mentioned he was interested in Fado music, he made arrangements for all of us to see a private Fado performance at the end of the tour. The performer was outstanding and the experience was amazing!! The day was full of great memories for our family.

Customised and turned a standard guided tour into a personal family trip. - Great experience. Response to my cold call was very quick with constant responses to help tailor my tour. Driver/Guide (Vasco Costa) was very knowledgeable and flexible throughout the tour with great restaurant recommendations and even helped us order great food. Almost felt like going around with a family member than a guide. We did a half day boat/car tour of Cascais and then a coastal drive down to Lagos from Lisboa. Would be happy to recommend them.

Fabulous private day trip from Lisbon - We loved our guide, Victor, so much!! He got us safely to and from our tour. His English is perfect. He recommended a wonderful place for lunch. He gave us the right amount of Portuguese history. He offered to take photos. Mercedes van was clean, safe, air conditioned and comfortable.

Wonderful trip to Pena Palace in Sintra and Cascáis - We were a group of 8 people who did a full day tour of Sintra, Cascáis and Cabo da Roca. Our group was 4 adults and 4 teens. We had a great time with Vasco. He led our tour at a good pace, had a lot of great and interesting info, and was particularly good at taking photos and videos (something we really really appreciated). The van was extremely clean and always ready for us. The driver was extremely personable and had a great sense of humor. Vasco also gave us great tips for the rest of our trip even though we aren’t using him for that portion. Overall, we would definitely recommend Vasco and his team!

3 perfect days touring with Diego Vasco - Diego Vasco was our tour guide for 3 days. He was always on time, speaks perfect English, and attentive to needs of clients. I traveled with my husband and adult son. He was informative, fun and knows great places to eat. My husband is disabled and vasco was attuned to making things as easy as possible for him. Always getting him close to destinations to minimize walking. We rented a w/c. Diego picked it up and returned it for us. He was knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and included history and art since we included that in our interest’s. Diego is an Excellent driver. I lost my hairclip and asked him to ask his daughter for a store recommendation to find one. The next morning instead of an address he arrived with a beautiful hair clip just like I wanted. So kind and considerate. Always upbeat and positive. Ask for Diego you will be very happy.

Making memories - We absolutely loved this trip. We were a family of 5 and this was my family’s first trip to Portugal. I wanted them to experience some of the beauty and history of this country and this trip certainly accomplished that. Peña Palace in Sintra, with its mix of awesome architectural styles, was amazing. The city of Sintra was quaint and lovely with many good cafes and craft shops. We then went on to Cabo da Roca which had spectacular views of the Atlantic along with being the western most point in continental Europe. We followed the beautiful coastline to Cascais, stopping in Guincho at a beautiful waterfront restaurant for an authentic Portuguese meal. Our tour guide, Victor, was invaluable in recommending places to us. He was very personable and knowledgeable. Portugal Magik was an excellent and professional company to deal with. Would recommend them without hesitation.

Fantastic Family Tour - We spent two days with Victor and our family of four with two young kids (7 and 4). We only had two day (really only a day and a half) in Lisbon and Victor really helped us maximize our time in the city. He was so great especially with the kids and tailoring the tour to them. I especially loved how by the end my 4 year old was asking victor tons of questions about how old everything was. One great memory was we were just casually talking about cork and trees and he just pulled over and brought us to a cork tree to feel it and then showed us another that had been harvested - felt like a great mix of a tour with a nice bit of improvisation.

Well-planned and executed excursion - Wonderful tour to Pena Palace, Sintra, Cascais, and Cabo de Roca with Jose Barreiro. Joe was an extremely knowledgeable tour guide who provided tons of information. He also guided us on a tour to Fatima the day before. Planning was spot-on and we arrived at Pena Palace at the right time. We stopped for a nice lunch on the ocean on our way to Cabo de Roca and Cascais. Would highly recommend this company.
