Diana and Ride for You are great! My wife and I just spent 3 full days touring Lisbon, Sintra, Obidos, Caiscais and wine tastings in the Lisbon area. Diana made it all easy and fun. Don’t miss an opportunity to see Portugal through the eyes of someone who loves it. Diana did it all from airport transfers to great lunch recommendations. She is so pleasant and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!!

I was in Lisbon for work and had limited time for sightseeing. Diana crafted tours around my schedule so I could show my family so much of Portugal in the available time. We used her for a total of four days. On the day we visited Sintra Diana covered so much information while deftly navigating the narrow streets of Sintra. She also took us to Cascais and also we visited other amazing places such as the westernmost point in Continental Europe. Don't limit yourself to just the named tours. Contact Diana and she will do a custom tour for you. When I arrived in Lisbon we asked Diana to change the plans for our final day of touring to a completely different city (Evora). I was originally concerned that maybe Diana would not be as knowledgable about something which she didn't advertise. I was completely wrong. Her depth of knowledge was impressive, and with just a couple of days notice she convinced the owner of a cork factory to open up on a Sunday and explain to us the entire process from harvesting cork from trees to all of the amazing products you can produce. We felt very special for this personal treatment. It illustrates the attention to detail and flexibility of Diana.

Diana was fantastic. We were very impressed with her deep knowledge of Portuguese history. The car was clean and comfortable. We would highly recommend Diana and plan on returning to Portugal and taking other tours with her.

We did several tours while we were in Portugal with Diana (and her husband, Ricardo), and all were fantastic. The first was an all-day Sintra tour, including the Pena Palace and the town of Sintra. It was a bit rainy, so we did not spend as much time around Sintra after the Palace tour, but instead went to Cabo da Roca and the Estoril Coast, stopping for lunch at a great restaurant that Diana picked out for us. Our last stop was in Cascais where we had some time to wander around the town before heading back to Lisbon. There were 3 couples, and we rode in an 8-seater van which was comfortable and spacious. In addition to the tour of Sintra which we did with Diana, we also hired them for transfers from Lisbon to Porto, Lisbon to Lagos, and back to Lisbon, all with stops along the way. Ricardo drove us for these transfers and was extremely personable and helpful. I can't say enough about Diana and Ricardo! They were pleasant, professional, courteous, and excellent drivers, and we enjoyed many conversations with both of them about their family, Portuguese traditions and history, the passing scenery, and current events. If we get back to Portugal again, we will definitely ask them to drive us as they are conscientious and very dependable.

We had a great time with Diana. She was amazing and gave us a lot of information about Sintra and Portugal in general. The car was clean and she was patient with the kids. Thank you Diana!

Diana is an exceptional tour guide. She is so knowledgeable & professional, but also so sweet and a lot of fun! We spent four days with her doing day trips from Lisbon. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her! On this particular day we went to Sintra. It was an excellent experience and her personal knowledge from growing up in the area was outstanding! I highly recommend Diana and this tour!

We did a day trip to Sintra with Diana Dias and it was fantastic! She picked us up at our hotel in her beautiful van and drove us to Sintra while giving us facts about where we were going. Once there, she guided us through the palaces and the chapel (and took a few photos of us). Then we visited downtown Sintra before a fabulous lunch near the ocean. Afterwards we visited the westernmost point of continental Europe as well as the town of Cascais. Highly recommend Diana and this tour. Diana is such a wonderful tour guide!
