United StatesFrancisco was a great guide. Although he had some great plans for our trip, he was also able to accommodate some changes based on our suggestions. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and history of Portugal. He recommended a great restaurant for lunch which we really enjoyed . We would recommend Francisco for any of your guide plans
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you very much for your kind words. It was a pleasure showing you this part of Portugal and I hope you enjoy the wine. All the best!

United StatesIt would be nearly impossible to find a guide that is more professional, accommodating, or knowledgeable. A good guide will facilitate a pleasant experience. A great one, such as Francisco, will make the experience memorable.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you so much for your kind words, Leo. I'm sure you're just being too kind but I appreciate it very much. It was also a pleasure for me to guide you on this day and I do hope you can recall great memories from this day when you drink the wine you bought for your cruise days. Hope to see you again some other time you decide to visit this wonderful country. All the best.

United StatesVery, very professional but also personable and extremely knowledgeable. Experienced a unique wine tasting. Our every wish was his command. Could not have been better…except for the hot, hot weather…
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you for your kind words, i appreciate them very much. It was a pleasure to guide you through this day and I'm sorry I couldn't put in a word for the hot hot weather (yes, it was really hot). Have to work on that :). But I'm glad you enjoyed it, after all that's the goal! Thanks once more.

Mont Belvieu, TEXAS, United StatesExcellent guide for our tour of Evora and the surrounding area. Francisco took us to the historical sites in Evora we wanted to see, and customized our tour as we requested, adding the cork factory. We visited an excellent winery for tastings. Also, had a wonderful lunch at a small restaurant with a beautiful view. Wonderful full day tour!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to guide you and showing you some of the best spots of our country. I'm glad you enjoyed. I enjoyed it very much. Hope you can visit us again someday soon.

United StatesWe wished to modify this tour by including a visit to the Almendres Cromlech. Francisco stated not a problem & we were the first visitors @ the site on the way to Evora. On our walking tour through Evora he gave complete explanations of the sites. He even made a lunch reservation for us @ a great vegetarian restaurant. Nice touch. Monsaraz village & winery stop completed a perfect tour. Do not hesitate to book with Francisco.
William Hylton
Baltimore, MD, United StatesWe had an absolutely wonderful day with Francisco! He was very conscious of our likes and interests and went out of his way to include things in the tour that would be special for us. He was a font of information about all things Portuguese and was delightful to converse with. We would not hesitate to strongly recommend Francisco for any tour he offers in Portugal.

United StatesThis was a fantastic trip on an extra day in the Lisbon area. Evora was well worth a visit with interesting churches and ruins. Monsaraz was the highlight of this trip (and the food at the restaurant we went to there). The Portuguese countryside is beautiful. If you have time, I would recommend getting out into the other parts of Portugal. Francisco was an excellent guide and made the trip interesting and easy. Book with him!
