We had the absolute... - We had the absolute pleasure of exploring Portugal with Rodrigo as our guide, and it was an unforgettable experience. He took us through the charming town of Cascais, the mystical Initiation Well at Quinta da Regaleira, and all the way to Cabo da Roca—the breathtaking westernmost point of Europe. Rodrigo’s knowledge of history, culture, and local stories brought every stop to life, but what really stood out was his warmth, enthusiasm, and genuine passion for sharing his country with us. He made the journey both informative and fun, while also giving us time to truly soak in each place.

Rodrigo the GREAT - I had an amazing tour in Portugal today with an outstanding guide. Rodrigo was extremely well-prepared and went above and beyond to make the experience special. Rodrigo even brought samples of cork from a cork tree to show the difference between wine corks and regular corks and he stopped at a cork tree growing in the wild to give us a real view. Rodrigo made sure we had water, were comfortable throughout, and shared fascinating information along the way. On top of that, Rodrigo took professional-quality photos of us, which was such a thoughtful touch. Truly the perfect guide—highly recommended! Rodrigo was the best tour guides I’ve had in all my world travels.

Rodrigo is amazing! - We absolutely loved this trip! Rodrigo was an excellent tour guide who was able to adapt the day for our interests and knew much about the areas. Could not fault this activity, it is a such a great way to see everything. The aircon in the van was great, communication was great and the pickup and drop off was so helpful as well

Hired a Guide, Left with a Friend (and a Full Stomach!) - Our day trip to Sintra, Cabo da Roca, and Cascais with Rodrigo was absolutely phenomenal, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. Rodrigo was the epitome of a courteous and professional guide who kept the entire day running smoothly and punctually. From the moment he picked us up, he consistently opened our doors and made sure we were comfortable throughout the journey. Rodrigo’s personality truly made the tour special. He was incredibly funny, witty, and friendly, making it feel like we were exploring with a knowledgeable friend rather than a guide. His ability to connect with us while sharing fascinating stories about the places we visited was outstanding. A true highlight was his local knowledge, especially his excellent food recommendations. He went above and beyond, recommending delicious local treats like the famous pastries from Piriquita in Sintra and lunch at Restaurant Luzmar in Cascais. He was also a fantastic photographer, offering to take pictures for us at every scenic stop, ensuring we captured the best memories. It was this personal and thoughtful touch that transformed a great trip into an unforgettable one. We highly recommend booking a tour with Rodrigo for an exceptional experience. Five stars all the way!

Amazing tour - Family of 4, with two daughters aged 7 and 10. Rodrigo arrived on time. In between stops he helped us take pictures , gave us some free time to explore and picked us up exactly at the time he asked us to meet him. On our way back, we wanted to be dropped off at the beach and he helped accommodate our request as well. Moreover since there was no other family traveling with us, we could work with our own schedule constraints. Highly recommend this tour and highly recommend Rodrigo!
