Excellent day of education - An 8 hour tour for three of us. We visited Peña Palace, Sintra, Cabo Da Roca, and Cascais. From the time Diana picked us up at our AirBnB we were kept informed about the sights of Lisbon and any questions we asked were answered with a deep knowledge of the area. We were extremely comfortable as she maneuvered professionally through some of the most challenging traffic I have experienced in many years. The attention to detail she provided made our tour excellent. I highly recommend hiring this guide and her company. We were very impressed by her thorough explanation of the history of Portugal. We can’t say enough about our wonderful, enjoyable, and educational day.

Fabulous day with Diana. - We had the very best day with Diana, ( also known as Rosa😜). We saw so much in our day with Diana which included being picked up in Lisbon, Peña Palace, Sintra, a wonderful seafood restaurant, cork trees, Colares winery, Cascais, and the most westerly point in Europe. A full day of brilliant sites with a effervescent and knowledgeable tour guide. I can absolutely recommend. Her car was super comfy and she was highly considerate of its temperature too. Great day and thank you so much Diana.

Best guide for our family with small children! - Diana was the perfect guide for our young family. Navigating with two small children can be challenging but the kids loved her and she helped give us a Sintra experience with the short time we had allocated. She is extremely knowledgeable and gives great information on the way to each site, then going into great detail at each location. We just wish we had more time to tour more!

Fantastic day touring Sintra and the coast line towns in a very relaxed way - Ricardo , our guide was awesome. We were a family of 5 , first time in Lisbon. All went perfectly well, timely pick up from our Airbnb, extremely friendly and informative guide, comfortable van, fantastic tour of Sintra and many coastal towns. Time management could not have been better, it seems that we beat the crowd right on time in every stop. Ricardo made lunch reservation for us per our request in a lovely beach side restaurant . He always offered to snap a family picture, give recommendations in every stop, was flexible about extra stop when asked. Felt just like one of us. Will come back !

Original And memorable trip! - We were on a school trip with 33 students and we made them the best gift ever! The idea of car-tour combined with the knowledge and professionalism of the guides allows you to discover hidden corners of Lisbon and surroundings saving a lot of time compared to public transport. this tour was worth the whole holiday! Diana , our guide and driver, was really nice and helpful! Remember that the association is recognized by the local tourism office!

Great Lisbon tour - On our way to a cruise from Barcelon my wife and I decided to stop in Lisbon for a few days since we’d never been in Portugal. We found RideforyouPortugal on line and loved the reviews. We can attest that Diana Dias not only meets the 5 star standard but exceeds. She met us at airport on day 1 and took us throughout the City. On day 2 she drive us to Sintra and Cascais. She was wonderfully informative and knew every short cut to avoid the queues while allowing us all the time needed to really experience Lisbon and the park and palace at Sintra as well as the seaside at Cascais. It was an altogether wonderful two days.

Great full day tour! - Diana was absolutely amazing!!! We happened to come across her outside the train station in Sintra. She wasn't pushy for sales, but instead very informative and engaging. She spoke near perfect English and drove us from site to site all day, waiting by each entry point until we returned. She suggested a great ocean view restaurant for lunch and took us there. It was a fluke to come across her and so glad we did. Her knowledge of the city and it's narrow streets made for a very seamless experience. 10/10!!!
