Obrigado Rui - We are experienced travelers and have taken many tours in various places. There is a reason why Rui has only five star reviews. He is simply the best guide we have ever experienced. Rui and his son work alone and have a personal stake in keeping their standards at the highest level. He is prompt, courteous and knowledgable. All tours are private for singles, couples or very small groups. My wife and I recently spent three days with Rui and he made our visit to Lisbon an extremely pleasurable event that we will always cherish. Do not look elsewhere for a guide when visiting Lisbon. You will not be disappointed. John & Debbie

Fun day outside of Lisbon! - Oliver was fantastic! He picked us up right at 8a from our hotel. We headed to Pena Palace and we got there right as the grounds were opening and then took the bus up to the castle. He gave great info throughout the castle and then we headed for the city center for a coffee/hot chocolate/snack break before heading out to Cabo Da Rock, the western most point of mainland Europe. Lastly we stopped in Cascais where we were given plenty of time to roam and find a spot for lunch. It was a great day.

Friendly and knowledgeable private tour guide! Highly recommended! - We booked this tour as it included the entrance tickets into the Palace, which is such an advantage to not having to worry about purchasing the Palace tickets the day of. Oliver was punctual picking us up from our hotel in the city, very friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable about the history of Portugal. He gave us relevant information on the drive into Sintra from the city and once at the palace, he guided us through it at a good pace. The few stops along the coast had breathtaking views and we also had time in Cascais to walk around the charming seaside. Oliver was very kind to stop at Belem on our way back to the hotel. Our teenage kids enjoyed the tour very much and stated that it was one of their highlights in Lisbon. We would not hesitate doing another private tour with Oliver at other sites next time we are back in Portugal.

Pena Palace, Sintra, Cascais and more — ten stars! - Oliver was a phenomenal guide! He was knowledgeable, professional and an excellent time manager. We had a spectacular day. Oliver picked us at the port for our private tour. We first went to the Pena Palace where we were one of the first 15 people to enter the palace that day (entrance ticket included). Oliver explained things we saw and lead us on an informative tour. Next we headed to the village of Sintra where we were allowed to stroll the streets independently and see the Sintra Palace (and eat Pasteis De Nata!). After our visit we headed to the most western point in Portugal (and continental Europe) at Cabo De Roca. Wonderful views of the lighthouse and the coastline. Next Oliver took us to the ocean resort city of Cascais. A beautiful city with plenty of shopping & restaurants. Here we had sufficient time for lunch and to wander at a leisurely pace. Oliver picked us right on time at a convenient spot and took us to Belem to see the the Navigators Monument before dropping us off at Commerce Square at our request. Throughout the day Oliver was a wealth of information. A safe driver who dropped us off at convenient locations and gave us adequate time at each stop. An outstanding tour and excellent value. We highly recommend this tour. A great itinerary and excellent guide!

Excellent Tours - We did two full day tours with Olive Premium Tours (Sintra/ Cascais/Peña Palace and Obidos/Nazare/ Fátima). Both exceeded our expectations. Our guide Oliver was friendly, very knowledgeable and his English was excellent. The tour was well paced and while we never felt rushed, he also made sure we got to places before the tour buses and tour vans arrived. He was also a very good driver and his vehicle, a Mercedes van, was clean, in excellent condition and was very comfortable for the four of us. I highly recommend Olive Premium Tours.
