We spend a long afternoon and evening with Filipe and it was wonderful. I highly recommend him. We visited Sintra and the amazing Perla Palace , the Quinta Regaleira and had the lovely pastry specialty of Sintra. Filipe is a very pleasant charming person to be with, he is very knowledgeable about, the area, the sites, the history and so much more. Time flies with him. We ended the evening in a great fish and seafood restaurant hanging on the side of a cliff Azenhas do Mar. If you are in Lisbon take one of his tours and enjoy.

I went on this 2 years ago with Brody and his english friend. My group had so much fun we're still talking about this 2 years later and I realized I promised Brody I'd leave a review and never did. We even got to see some horrible Belgian rapper making a music video in the cave (hilarious after all the sangria we had). This is an essential Lagos tour if you're younger and looking to drink and socialize. Such a great experience, you won't regret it.

Without a plan, 4 friends and I went on a day trip to Sintra in March. Already got off the train some guides were waiting and wanted to lead us through Sintra. But we wanted coffee first. On the way to the cafeteria, another guide offered us his tour - but we went on. Because we wanted coffee. However, this guide did not let up and so we booked a tour with him after the coffee. Not knowing that this day would be the funniest of our semesters abroad, we set off on the trip. Ruben showed us untouristic places, combined with a lot of knowledge which he taught us. Spontaneously we went to cabo da roca - unbelievable! All in all a wonderful day with great experiences! Highly recommended! Thank you Ruben!

Built on top of a cliff, the Chapel of Sra. Da Rocha allows you to admire the beautiful coast and rock formations. Heading west you will be presented to Ferragudo village, a traditional fishing village that overlooks the Portimão estuary. After crossing the Arade River though the old bridge, you will have the opportunity to contemplate from the top of the Fort of Santa Catarina viewpoint, the river, the mouth of the river and the long Praia da Rocha.

We were fortunate to have booked with Johnny´s Tours. Our guide and driver was impeccably attentive and correct. Thank you so much Joau for your patience.All our questions were answered as he was very knowledgeable about the history of Silves and its surroundings without this tour we would not be able to discover certain places that he showed us. Lunch was delicious and the restaurant staff was wonderful. in the end of the day we end up in a fishing village having green wine and roasted octopus we will recommend Joau to our friends. Can´t wait to return.

My husband and I went to Portugal for our honeymoon and this tour was one of the highlights our trip! There was one other couple that came with us, so it was a very small group and felt like a private tour. We toured and did tastings at two wineries that both were VERY good! I only wish these wines were available in the US. We also got to explore this little town in Lago for about an hour and see Leiria Castle. Our tour guide was energetic, friendly, and knowledgeable. This tour exceeded my expectations and it will exceed yours too!
