“Wir haben viel gesehen, trotz Regen es war sehr windig. Daher waren die Planen etwas offen und zugig aber unser Guide hat alles prima gemeistert.

Von uns volle Sternchen.”
3-hour Lisbon essentials walking tour with a local guide, key churches and viewpoints, included tram ride and café pastry break.

Classic jeep tour through Sintra highlights, Pena gardens, Cabo da Roca, historic streets, and Regaleira, guided in English for small groups.
“There is no way to really see Sintra without some sort of transportation. Taking a Jeep allowed us not only to see things easy to reach by regular road, but also allowed us to get off the beaten path. Alexandre was a great guide! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we got to see some special things. Our tour ran a little late and he was very patient!”
Private 4-hour Lisbon Jewish heritage tour by air-conditioned van with hotel pickup, guided stops in Alfama, and two museum visits.
“This experience covered the history of Jewish Lisbon and by extension of Portugal from the beginnings of the country. Vasco, our guide was not only knowledgeable, but friendly and engaging at the same time. His van was air conditioned which was much appreciated on the hot day of our private tour. Vasco offered to help us with any concerns we might have and he was prepared to answer any of our questions regarding our trip to Lisbon in general. His English was excellent and we appreciated his courtesy. We can recommend this tour and this guide to anyone interested in the history of the Jewish community in Lisbon and Portugal.”
