What a wonderful way to see both the major attractions and off the beaten path hidden gems. 90 minutes gave us an overview of the entire city and the knowledge to decide what we would like to go back to visit in more detail. Bruno was so informative, not only showing us sightseeing spots, but also including the history, politics and legends associated with them. He tailored the tour to our interests and expertly maneuvered the Tuk Tuk to get us the best views and most convenient access to sites. I highly recommend this tour and driver.

Ruben was a great guide. He picked us up at the Lisbon airport and took us on a 4 hour tour of Sintra and Castle of the Moors. Hugo was easy to work with and responds quickly on email. Would recommend this tour and company.

If you looking for a professional service to drive and guide you through this beautiful country, the owner of Windland Tours, Goncalo Oliveira, is your man! We hired Goncalo for four days to drive us from western Spain to Porto, Fatima, Coimba and Lisbon. Goncalo is the consummate professional (punctual, courteous,) an excellent driver, nearly fluent English and has a deep knowledge of the history and culture of the Portuguese people which he shared with us on our daily walking tours of each city. He also knows the best restaurants and interesting neighborhoods not always on the typical tourist itinerary. We can't thank Goncalo enough for making this trip one of the best vacations we have had. We hope to return in the future, and our first call will be to Goncalo to arrange the next trip!

Although the weather was not on our side, I really enjoyed this sunset cruise! When I decided to book a sailboat cruise on the Tagus, I struggled to find any tours still operating, especially on New Year's Eve. Luckily I saw one of the Tagus Cruises ships on the river in Belem and searched for them online. The booking was easy, we were six people in total. The skipper was very friendly and told me a lot of cool sailing stories while also explaining how the boat worked! We had a complimentary drink and although it rained for a bit, we saw a rainbow at the end and that made it all worth it. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend the "Taste of Lisboa Food Tours" - Filipa went out of her way to research local places to shop and eat to fit my clean Keto-diet (Gluten/Dairy Free, Grass Feed/Grass Finished eats, and pasture-raised poultry), the farmers markets were amazing! I know now where to go grab a coffee and lunch and shop. Thanks Filipa!

Doing a city tour with Bike my side was a recommendation from our friends living near Lisbon. It was a great start to getting to know the city and its surroundings. We always felt safe with Daniel navigating Lisbon traffic professionally and prudently. Daniel (the owner and driver) was very responsive to all our questions and wishes, plus he has a broad knowledge about his beloved city and what’s going on where, so you gain lots of very good insights. A really cool and extraordinary experience that we always love to remember ????
