The guide Tiago had such passion and great knowledge of the history of the area and if Portugal. He has such a great way of interacting with us and made sure we were well looked after. We experienced an authentic day and he made sure we could see as much as possible. This was the best way to see the cities. The transport was clean, comfortable and roomy. The lunch was a special treat and was a highlight. This was our best day so far in Portugal. Thanks to our guide Tiago. AMAZING

Alex was an excellent driver/tour guide, he was punctual, attentive, friendly and helpful on adjusting the trip to our needs. We had a great experience thanks to him. Highly recommend this private tour experience, in my opinion is the way to go!

Had a really good day with Alex as our guide. It was a public holiday, so there were very few people around which was great. In Coimbra we had the library and university and chapel to ourselves most of the time! It did mean that the cathedral was closed, but we had time to enjoy a coffee and pastries at the Santa Cruz cafe. The boat trip along the canals at Aveiro was another highlight.

Fun tour. Guide was very informative and helpful. Both Coimbra and Aveiro were interesting. Enjoyed walking around in Coimbra. We were a bit disappointed that the library was closed so we couldn’t see it. Apparently no notice was given by the library that it would be closed that day
