My wife & I has a bespoke tour organised. We were collected in a cool 4x4 jeep and driven around the west coast of Portugal. From Lisbon to Sintra and then to Cabo de Roca. Simply beautiful. The tour guide was excellent and gave us space (and info when we asked). Reasonable prices and excellent communication. 5/5

Our second day out with Rui. After a drive through the hills we arrived at Quinta Santa Maria in Gidril, a village perched on the edge of a valley. We were greeted by our British expat host who guided us through the beautiful grounds and outbuildings of the Quinta tasting wines and enjoying nibbles along the way. The wines were flavourful, and the nibbles carefully chosen to enhance each we tasted. Before leaving we purchased a couple of bottles to savour at home, of course! Next stop of the day was The Monastery at Mafra. While this 400 room palace may once have housed a monastery, it was the biggest and most ornate of the several palaces we were able to visit during our time in Portugal- built with Brazilian gold and reputed to have emptied the treasury! Rui will do custom tours, as ell: For our third trip we have Rui taking us on a self-designed Templar Castle tour. We suggested three sites we wished to visit and he put together our itinerary ending with a boat ride to The island of Castelo Almourol. Bound to be another magical day!

What an enjoyable and ecofriendly way to discover or re-discover Lisbon! Our electric cars (we hired two for a family of four) were so fun to drive and so easy to park. After driving up the steep streets of the city of the seven hills, we could enjoy stunning views on Lisbon from the best viewpoints ("miradouros", which are the highlight of this tour). Flawless customer service, from the beginning until the end. Thanks, Inês and Djalmo, for giving us very clear instructions about these electric cars prior to our tour and for providing us this memorable Live Electric Family Tour experience. And receiving the full video of our entire tour was the cherry on the cake!
