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.

A Jeep scenic drive alongside mountain roads and the steep slopes of the Arada Mountain Range, including the once-feared "Portal do Inferno" (Hell's Gate) road. On a visit to the village of Refoufe (and Rio de Frades on the Day Tour) we will travel back in time, to a period when these mountains witnessed unpredictable moments of human auspices, due to the mining exploitation of both "German" and "Allied" Forces during the last century two World Wars. An incursion into the magical village of Drave. Deserted, uninhabited and isolated in a deep and almost inaccessible valley (can only be accessed by Jeep or foot), this schist village owns an inspiring beauty that will make you reflect on the simplicity and difficulties of rural Man's life in times past.

Inclusions: Coffee and/or Tea, Snacks, Bottled water, All Fees and Taxes, Interpretative Guide, Photo Report, Personal Accident Insurance, Private transportation

We asked Just Come to pick us up after the doing the Paiva Walkways. The tour guide was super friendly and helpful on the phone and helped us finding the pickup point. Once in the (really cool) car he told us all about the surroundings and we had a great talk with him, he stopped along the way for the great view so we could make some pictures. He even gave loads of tips for the continuing of our road trip. I will come back to do more activities with Just Come for sure and would highly recommend this company.

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!
