Fantastic Experience - The guide was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He was very personable and engaging and, unfortunately, the experience was over too soon. He brought both the history of Lisbon and Portugal with a local knowledge of day to day personal modernize. I would highly recommend this tour and guide, Mr. Mezzadri.

Flight Transit Tour: Highlight of our Trip - My coworkers and I had a quick tour with Diogo during our layover in Lisbon. It was definitely the highlight of our trip! He was extremely thorough and knowledgeable (we learned he has a degree in History) and had the best energy. Made us feel very welcome and was definitely an excellent ambassador for the friendliness and hospitality of the Portuguese culture. Will definitely book with him again next time for personal travel and also recommend to anyone coming to Lisbon. Very reasonable pricing.

Excellent tour to Portugal, with great tourism company and best Guide for us to guide - We visited most of the tourist and historical places of the city, with excellent cost benefit and with the best quality of resource in history told by our Guide in relation to the tourist sights of Portugal.
We took a lot of photos and took great advantage of the gastronomic points that are also part of Portuguese history.
We stayed in Cintra and Fatima with the same Guide on a wonderful experience, we loved the tour.

Falling in love with Lisbon - I took the historical tour of Lisbon with my 6 year old daughter. I chose Outing because it shows security and responsibility. We were guided by Diogo, who was always very kind, respectful, polite, attentive to us and knew how to adapt the tour in a way that involved my daughter in the schedule as well. The company car is always clean, with wifi and water. The tour of the city was fascinating, very complete, we were able to learn about the history not only of Lisbon but also of the country. All the historical-cultural knowledge was passed on to us in great detail by the guide, who has a degree in history and shows passion for what he does, thus making us involved and enchanted.
