Excellent Professional Tour Guide - Dr.Edwin HASSID & Barbara HASSID were very pleased with our tour guide Hugo. Much of the day was spent in Sintra— we loved the Moor Castle but the rest of the sites were extremely over crowded. We enjoyed a lovely lunch in Sintra and spent the rest of the tour on a beautiful ride along the coast stopping at various beaches & towns. Very professional friendly driver — very knowledgeable of the history of Portugal which we really enjoyed & appreciated. I wish we had hired Hugo for our trip to Porto!! We will definitely hire hire when we return to Lisbon.

Highly Recommend! Fantastic private tours catered to our needs, for multiple locations in Portugal - We actually did three days of private tours with Knight Riders Tourism: one day private tour of Lisbon, one day in Oporto, and one day in Sintra and Caiscais. I was traveling with my two elderly parents (over 80) and wanted private tours so that we could travel comfortably and adjust to my parent's energy levels, and get us as close to all the sights as possible. Our guide was Hugo, and not only was he great in explaining all the history and significant sights that we saw, he was also a great driver and drove us as close to the many sights as possible, as well as facilitating our getting ahead in the queues to avoid my father having to wait in long lines. It was an amazing experience, and we were able to see much more and more comfortably than had we done it with a larger group or by ourselves. Well worth it!! Thank you Knight Riders Tourism and thank you Hugo!!

Perfect day in Sintra - My mother and I (age 75 and 50) had an incredible day trip with Arthur. He picked us up right on time from our hotel. He was friendly, spoke perfect English, and made sure to accommodate all of our needs and interests. Our first stop was the Moorish Castle, which we loved being able to explore before all of the crowds arrived. We truly had the place to ourselves and were able to get some amazing pictures. Although some waiting was unavoidable at the other attractions due to crowds, he went out of his way to make the process as comfortable and efficient as possible. My favorite site was the regaleira initiation well. Although this was the one destination he was unable to enter with us, he gave us clear directions. He was flexible with our itinerary, allowing time for us to look around in the nearby shops before returning to the vehicle to head back to Lisbon. It was an amazing day in every way and a highlight of our vacation. Do not hesitate to book this tour as it is worth every pernny!

Hugo was a fantastic tour guide - We were travelling as a group of 6 friends. Hugo was our day long guide, he did a fabulous job and is very, very nice and informative. He also drove us down the coastline of Portugal, which was absolutely gorgeous. Included a delightful lunch, grilled fish was delish as was the wine!
