Hello, My wife & I were a part of this small group tour with another Brazilian family.Our guide was Micael Neto.He was very friendly & very approachable from the start of the tour.He drives well & is able to communicate his point in English.We personally preferred the Aveiro part to Coimbra.The Costa Nova beach & the light house were fantastic.The Moliserro cruise is an experience one should have.We had lunch & Avos Moles at the Market Square at Cafe Pixinho.The Coimbra tour was mainly a university,cathedral & the market square. Speaking personally about Micael a few incidents which stood out for me, a)He found a restaurant in Aveiro which serves vegeterian food for us. b)In Coimbra when the others were busy in the university he took us to the Botanical Garden & Cathedral. c)He helped us plan the rest of our trip in Porto & Lisbon with his suggestions. d)He even recommended places to have vegeterian food near our hotel. e)He ensured that each members personal interests were taken care off during the tour.He made it a point to understand our likes & dislikes.Eg.He made it a point to show me the storks nests & the Dragao stadium. The tour was well organised as any other but Micael was very good & would highly reccomend travelling with Micael to anybody in the future. Cheers, Dr.Vidhi & Harshit

This was one of the best tours me and my wife have ever taken during our travels around the world. Premiere Tours is by far the best guiding agency we ever hired, and Jorge Bras is the most knowledgeable guide, a true gentleman, always looking out for our wellbeing. Fatima and Sintra are truly two of the most wonderful places in the planet. The spirituality of Fatima and the mysticism of Sintra with its magical fairytale palaces, made the top on our favorite places in the world list. Even though we were in Portugal for only three days on a business trip, during the pandemic, we decided to contact Premiere Tours for ideas on a one day tour, and we are so pleased that we were advised to take this one. We recommend this highly professional guiding agency to everyone visit Portugal.

Despite having become exceedingly popular and a bit crowded in recent years, Porto is worth a long visit and Ricardo made sure we would experience the city in the best possible way, with a local whose wealth of knowledge about the history of this vibrant city made it so enjoyable. The wine tasting included a visit to one of the lesser known Port Wine brands, an up and coming enterprise rooted in tradition that caters to smaller groups and allows for a personalized and fact-filled experience, coupled with some excellent wine!

There are several cities which benefit from the privilege of being near watercourses. Aveiro is no exception, as its stands out thanks to its famous Ria, abundant in fish and waterbirds. The "moliceiros", unique boats with simple decoration reminding the naif painting, are also connected to the ria, still collecting the seaweed- a great fertilizer for arid lands.

Paulo gave us a full day tour (walking and van) of Lisbon with emphasis on the Jewish history. He also took us to the small Ashkenazi synagogue where we learned about the synagogue's history from one of the members and viewed many of their historical artifacts, We had a one hour lunch with him in a small restaurant where we were able to learn about his personal history and get more information about Jewish Portugal.

Excellent tour, highly recommended! This is the 4th time I used Touch Tour and they have been always excellent. The places in the Duoro area were beautiful, the tasting and food were great! and Miguel, our driver was knowledgeable and very nice. My husband and I felt that we were with a friend. They know the area and the history, the car was very comfortable. Much more than we expected it!
