We had a wonderful day with Francisco in Sintra and surrounding areas. He gave us great advice, helped us avoid the crowds, and was very smart. His car is very nice and he is a really smart guy. He does a great job of gauging his audience by pacing the trip in a great way.

This is a late review, but necessary. We thoroughly enjoyed our private day tour with Sintra Magik in Fatima. The Shrine of course was incredible. The visit to the family home and meeting their descendants were equally touching. We sampled the local cuisine and appreciated the hospitality. Our tour of the religious factory allowed us to return with artifacts for our family. We were so fortunate to have a delightful Irish priest bless these keepsakes. An awesome, memorable day. We highly, highly recommend this tour group.

Dare Lison recommended and arranged our private full day tour. We have spent an amazing day with our guide Goncalo, he has been very friendly, careful and knowledgeable. He made us discover Sintra and suroudings areas in a different way, he really knows the most interesting sights to see and visit all day long, he has shared with us his passion for his country history. i dont think we would have seen all those places by ourselves, and we have learnt so much! Not really used to take a private tour, but the experience was great Service was perfect, we highly recommend Goncalo!

We had tickets to see Madonna's Madam X Tour in Lisbon in early 2020. On our prior visit to Lisbon with my mother, we had such a great experience with Andre we reached out again to arrange custom tours to Sintra and Porto while there. Andre was such a pleasure and made sure we had got the most out of our trips outside of Lisbon. The first trip was to Sintra. While Pena Palace is a very popular and photogenic site to visit, there are other palaces and hidden gems to include while there. Make sure you include local food and drinks as well. We are still missing the pastries at Piriquita and the local foods at restaurants in small towns along our way. The views along the coastline are spectacular. A couple of days later we did a day trip to Porto to see if we should stay there on our next trip to Portugal. What a great decision! I was well worth the trip to view the city from the bridges, walk through the city, sit and sample port wines (with chocolates) and views at a local distillery. Andre's tours will not disappoint you and if you have can't decide, he is very good at helping you build the tour that best meets your needs. Highly recommend checking out his new website and plan for an unforgettable time!

After some confusion between the Booking company and Lanebus, which made the driver arrive a bit later, I was very impressed form the service is given by Lanebus, a very professional driver very helpful and courteous, lovely smooth ride with a great quality vehicle. On the day of the return trip, I have received all the information indicating where the driver was and how long would be to reach me, what a WONDERFUL service. I have no issues with booking or recommend Lanebus.
