Excellent - Antonio is a great driver. Very personal. Very knowledgeable about the castles in Sintra. Took us on a side trip to the Westernmost point of continental Europe, which was beautiful. Highly recommended!

Sintra and Cascais tour - Our tour guide Goncalo picked us up from our Airbnb with no issues. He was very informative and accommodating. He recommended we tour the gardens at the palace. We were grateful because we otherwise would have missed the gardens and that was our favorite part. Goncalo was friendly and flexible. He gave us options for lunch in Sintra or Cascais. We chose his recommended restaurant in Cascais. It was expensive, but well worth it. Sintra and Cascais were both beautiful and amazing. Pena Palace was crowded. Probably no way around that.

Excellent Driver, Even Better Tour Guide - Hats off to Tiago Caravau, who not only drove his clean and well-maintained vehicle with care, but also proved to be an exceptional tour guide. He was deeply knowledgeable about every place we visited and about Portugal’s history in general. His English was excellent, and he delivered facts and stories in an engaging, entertaining way. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Obrigado!

Great private tour by Eliano and Amiroad Luxury Transports - Eliano Costa was our driver. He was perfect. Eliano was very pleasant, warm, friendly, super helpful. He was so kind to us - opening our doors, giving us water, making sure we had plenty of time at each stop. He met our every expectation and then some. He took us to each place, providing great information along the way (both historical and current). We couldn't have asked for a better day. We would do it again if in the area, and we recommend this service to anyone who wants to do the same tour. Thank you, Eliano. We really enjoyed meeting and talking with you the whole day.

A beautiful tour of Portugal - Antonio was extremely kind and informative. He shared a lot of information about Portugal with us and had a good sense of humor. We felt like we were spending the day with a friend.

Lisbon & Sintra tour - My wife and I had a full day tour of Lisbon and Sintra, and the following day a transfer from Lisbon to Lagos. Alex Rosa was our driver both days. We had a wonderful experience throughout. He was most courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable. The vehicle was luxurious and well equipped. We would highly recommend the service. Alex was a great complement to our personal tour guide.

Wonderful tour and experienced guide, immaculate Mercedes car - What a fantastic tour we had last week with Antonio. Such a gentleman, incredibly well educated on the beautiful history of Portugal. Masterful driver, spotless car, and gracious host to us for the day. Our trip included Sintra the Pena Palace, Regaliero, then to Cascais, Cabo de Roca- plus other stops. He packed in so much for us- and taught us such interesting information. Was the highlight of our trip. We highly recommend spending a day with Antonio!
