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.

Aveiro and Belmonte were the centers of our private tour and Diogo took us to about nine different historic sites. The hotel accommodations in Belmonte were first class and every restaurant Diogo had arranged for us seemed even better than the last. Diogo has excellent English. I am the only one of the four travelers with no Portuguese. He is a great driver and a most expert and knowledgeable tour guide.

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!

We were lost in Lissabon until we found the most amazing tour guide Lino Ribeiro. He made our day because of his enthusiasm, knowledge and jokes. We couldn't discover Lissabon in a better way than we did with Lino! He spoke perfect english and showed us places we didn't even know it existed. We learned so much from him and with the tuktuk we where able to see the whole town in one day! I definitely recommend a tuktuk tour with Lino if you want the best impression of Lissabon in one day. Hope to come back someday! Lots of love, a grateful dutch family.
