What a wonderful experience

A true hidden gem!
"Ricardo had such a calm presence about him as soon as we met. He took us through so many unassuming places that really encapsulated the meaning of a hidden gem for me. This is the kind of thing I seek when I'm in a new place - going through old streets, quintessential neighbourhood shops & bars, old buildings with stories. He tailored the tour (and extended it!) to our interest in vinyls, books and music. \n\nHe was such an interesting guy with a flair for guiding not too much but not too little. He let us have our space and soak in each place at our own pace. He left us with a bunch of cool recommendations fit to our taste. What a guy! "
"Thank you Sylvain for a wonderful tour, from your favourite ( and stunning) wine shop to a local Cherry liqueur experience and everything in between, we had a ball!
Highly recommend āŗļø"
"My family and I had a wonderful day with Miguel. He picked us up at our hotel and had an amazing day visiting the Pena Palace, Sintra and Cascais. Miguel was super friendly and most importantly very knowledgeable. I highly recommend anyone traveling to Portugal to visit these places and take a tour with Miguel. "
"\n\nOur experience with Sonia was Exceptional. She was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and so fun to be with.\n\nWe learned so many things, \nThrough the eyes of someone who knew the country inside and out. She made us feel like a local and not a tourist. \n\nWould encourage you to book a tour you will not be disappointed. "

Lisbon classic food
"There were 6 family members on our tour with Sonia. 1 has knee mobility issues and needs to move slower at times. We reached out to Sonia several weeks before the tour and she was so very considerate to make sure we were all comfortable with special attention to our one family member.
In talking with Sonia, itās very apparent she loves people and her city! We felt like we immediately connected with her and really enjoyed our time with her - hearing about and tasting some of her favorite foods - croquettes, coffee, code cakes, shrimp, chorizo, pasteles de nata and the cherry liqueur Ginja! She also asked if we were interested in history and shared some of the history of Lisbon and Portugal, and she took us into an amazingly beautiful church.
All 6 of us loved meeting Sonia and spending a few hours with her - we highly recommend this tour and Sonia!
Thank you!"
