          Our driver treated us like we were his parents
          We loved our driver Antonio. He was engaging and whenever we asked him a question, he always knew the answer. For such a young man, he understood so much about his country and the culture. He made our trip so easy by dropping us at the front door everywhere we went, finding out how we could avoid the long lines, etc. He even brought us to an adorable coffee shop for coffee and pastries. We had a great time and a lot of laughs. I cannot imagine liking anyone more than we liked Antonio. As my friend said to me once we got back to Lisbon from Sintra, "He treated us like we were his parents".

          Awesome Place, Outstanding driver
          A wonderful moving visit to Fatima with John, our driver. As this was a pilgrmage for my wife, we wanted plenty of time on our own to visit the sites, hear a mass, etc. Our driver was great. he told us where to go, gave us his phone number and told us to call him when we were ready. If looking for guided tour, you might prefer a different option. He gave us the basic information, told us where to go and we soaked in the religious history on our own at our leisure. On the way out he stopped at the best store with clean bathrooms, on the way back we had extra time and he suggested stopping at one of two places to see, and have lunch. We asked him to join us for lunch which he normally declines and it added a great opportunity to learn more about Portugal. He had a newer clean, roomy, safe car and he was an excellent driver. Never did we feel rushed or hurried and even got back a little late because of that. LOVED the place and the driver

          Well worth it
          Easy to book & quick confirmation, pick up at our accommodation which was great. We were a group of four & all really enjoyed this tour. Jorge was a wonderful guide, helpful & informative, packed a lot into the day without us feeling rushed. Thanks for a lovely day.

          Stunning views!
          John was pleasant and very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor and musical taste. It was a fun and song filled ride to stunning views and beautiful scenery, I'm returning for an encore.

          The tour quality is two MICHELIN stars but reasonable money!
          My family trip to Lisbon without participating in the tour organized by ABC and Luis Rodrogues would not make sense at all. Punctuality, an interesting program of the trip, attractive comments, a lot of history of local places and Portugal itself. Great tips on how to use the attractions and local cuisine! I sincerely recommend. We are delighted. Worth a detour!

          Avoid for last minute additional charge for family travel
          Be careful when booking with is company. Three solid facts from my experience: 1. Yes they will ask for additional charge less than 24 hr before the departure when it is too late for customer for cancel; 2. Yes they will charge you the additional fee for infant, which is very unusual from my 15+ year of worldwide travel experience; 3. They expect you to have local experitise to tell which areas are Lisbon central vs Greater Lisbon, again, you will be charged for additional if you fail to do so. Avoid, avoid and avoid, especially if you are traveling as a family. Worst customer service ever even after I got Viator involved, they just want quick money. No empathy but only rude and greedy. I feel sorry for them, maybe 20euros is more important than being decent people. I give them zero star if I can. AVOID.

          TAP Hopper flight Faro to Lisbon wheelchair assist
          Early morning TAP flight to connect to Lisbon to San Francisco was convenient. I had the wheel chair assist from TAP when I arrived in Lisbon and it was fabulous. There are more flights than gate terminal tunnels at the Lisbon airport and TAP flights may deplane using stairs and a shuttle bus to the terminal. TAP had someone waiting for me as I exited the plane to help me down the stairs. I could walk but I wondered if persons who cannot walk are carried down the steps. Then I was driven in a private shuttle bus versus getting on the big bus, avoiding the jostling. I was taken near the gate of my connecting flight to sit at a cafe and relax before boarding my connecting flight. The WC assistant came back when it was an hour before boarding and I was trying to change my Portuguese SIM card back to my US SIM and the TAP assistant actually ran around the airport looking for a paperclip to help me open the SIM compartment and changed out the SIM for me. I was so happy. He gave me time to say goodbye to my friend and off we went to another private shuttle to board the plane that was parked quite a ways from the terminal. The TAP driver of the shuttle helped me with my bags while I made my way up the steps slowly. I was met by the friendly TAP airline assistants who were very attentive the whole flight. I felt so taken care of. Having the wheelchair assist made things go smoothly and stress-free. Thank you TAP airlines.

          Excellent Tour of Sintra
          Took a private tour (four people) to Sintra and Cascais. Our guide, Joao, picked us up promptly at 9 AM from our hotel. He has wonderful personality, is extremely friendly, accommodating, flexible, and has a tremendous knowledge of both modern day Portugal and its history. He got us into Pena palace efficiently, showed us around the rest of Sintra, took us to the western most part of continental Europe, and drove us to Cascais. All were beautiful places. Finally he dropped us off at Sao Jorge Castle, right near the entrance. Could not recommend him enough, he’s a great asset to Portuguese tourism.

          the silent tour guide/worst tour ever
          this tour guide was silent unless asked a question. we were looking to our guide to provide information about which we could ask questions, but she merely would give a one-two word response and one which was mundane. she knew nothing!!! we didn't even have her take us to monsaraz because we had to get away from the situation. going to request a complete refund. the guide never asked us what we might want to see, walked 20+ feet in front of us and would have to be asked to stop. she was completely unqualified to do this tour and was a last minute substitute for another person. DO NOT USE THIS COMPLANY (SHE WAS A SUBCONRACTOR FROM MOONSHADOW TOURS). THIS WAS AN EXPENSIVE TRIP ($450+) AND FOR IT, WE GOT A LONG DAY WITH NOTHING BUT A LONG RIDE.

          Great museum
          The Benfica museum is one of the better ones we have visited. Plenty to see and read in English, and the staff were all extremely welcoming. Save a few euros and book online as well. We couldn’t do the stadium tour as it was the day after a European match, but other than that it is an excellent option for any football fan.

          Lisbon airport - Praia del Rey transfer
          Transfer late Sunday night Lisbon to Praia del Rey, excellent service. Gaspar our driver stayed with us until we got access to our accomadation as the reception was closed when we arrived. Very friendly and helpful meeting all our needs, picked up some groceries on the transfer. The car / van was comfortable and very clean. Probably wouldn't consider using any other company when back in the area.
