United StatesRui is a great tour guide. He picked us up right on time close to our rental. His knowledge of the Lisbon area and the country of Portugal was top notch. Rui was very sociable and easy to talk with. We were extremely satisfied with our tour of Sintra, the Atlantic Coast & Cascais. Rui took his time allowing us to explore the areas without feeling rushed. Was a totally relaxed touring experience. Rui's post tour follow up was excellent. I would highly recommend Rui as a tour guide for Portugal.

United StatesWow wow wow. Spending a day in and around Sintra with Rui was one of the highlights of our trip! I would give him 50 stars if I could!!! Rui is SO pleasant, SO kind, and SO knowledgable about not only Sintra and the palaces we visited, but seemingly about all topics relating to Portugal (including current). He brings stories to life with his enthusiasm and expert storytelling. Rui customized our activities to perfectly match our interests. It was an ideal tour. My highest recommendation!!!

United StatesRui provide a full day at Sintra, and we really enjoyed the city. Best part was skip the line and right to the entrance. Rui provides a good over all commentary.

Miami, FLORIDA, United StatesRui is above and beyond. He is very passionate about and knowledgeable with the history of Portugal. He did everything to accommodate our needs, and is a very good and safe driver. Time is no issue for him, and he made sure to have us do the whole promised tour (till late evening), in spite of any consequential delays. His English is very good. We highly recommend him for any of his offered tours, and we will definitely use him again on our next trip to Portugal.

San Marcos, CALIFORNIA, United StatesRui is a walking fountain of historical and local facts. Extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and caring, and adjusted the tour to meet our needs. We had a very pleasant and informative day with Rui and definitely recommend him for any Portugal tour.

United StatesWe thought everything went perfectly. Drop offs, pick ups, tickets procured in advance, precise directions and each location was very smooth and easy. Rui also picked the perfect place for our lunch and went out of his way to have waters and local pastries available for us. We've done many "tours by local" in many countries, this was the best one ever. Thank you Rui and next time let us all go see Benfica play! Tom and Anne

United StatesWonderful day trip outside of Lisbon. Rui made it very easy to see all the sights. Great with dropping us off at entrances and picking us up where ever we wanted to end up. Great with text communication.

United StatesMy family and I had SO much fun on this tour with Rui. He was very knowledgeable about each of the stops, and he totally maximized every minute of the day. I noticed, several times, other tourists (not on our tour) leaning in to hear what he was teaching us about the culture and history of this region of Portugal. Rui was accommodating, friendly, and perfectly willing to adjust the schedule to fit in an additional landmark. Thanks for making our visit special, Rui! Abraço!

SwitzerlandWe had a great tour with Rui and would consider it a 5 out of 5. Rui gave us some great insights into Portugal culture and was very flexible on our trip. We would recommend him to others looking for an authentic experience in Portugal!

United StatesWe had a wonderful time! Rui gave us so much information, not only at the sites we visited, but in the car on the way to each location. He was very honest about anything he didn't know (which wasn't very often!). There are only so many hours in the day, and Rui knows exactly how long it takes to get through each venue. Without him, we would have missed much more than we saw. The more info you give him the better he can tailor your experience. Rui is a true professional!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Next time, Moorish Castle it is! And Regaleira, of course; and with more info, I will be there again with the director this week and will learn a few more things, the ones which are not in the books :) It was a real pleasure meeting you all, Michelle! All the best
