- Janine W0 contributionsFull day Sintra and Cascais tour - excellent!Excellent experience. Fred was very knowledgeable about sites and history and made great recommendations throughout the day.Written September 19, 2024
- ginavh20180 contributionsLisbon with a localWe had a fantastic half-day tour of Lisbon with Luis. Luis grew up in Lisbon and gave us a real insider's view of the city - its history and how it is rapidly changing. We got around by car (to dodge the raindrops) which allowed us to see not only the famous sites downtown but also to visit Belem. Luis expertly navigated the narrow streets and traffic, magically finding parking spaces. We highly recommend Luis!Written October 22, 2023
- css12220 contributionsWonderful Lisbon walking tourMy husband and I did a walking tour of Lisbon on our first day with Fred. It was a wonderful day. We learned so much about the city and the history and culture. Fred was great to spend the day with. We had asked for some Jewish history as well and were very pleased with his knowledge. This is a family owned agency and we’re very accommodating and easy to deal with. Highly recommend!Written October 13, 2023

- Goody_two2shoes0 contributionsFascinating Portugal!We had such a great time, and discovered a lot of new information, thanks to Luis! It was raining, but it didn't spoil our tour at all!🥰 That was unforgettable time in Portugal! Hopefully we will come again and discover a lot more! :)Written November 18, 2022
- Rob K0 contributionsEvora TripWe did a tour of Evora with Luis which was a fantastic experience. He was a great guide, very passionate about Portuguese history and very knowledgeable. Learned a lot about Portugal, even on the car ride there, no awkward silence :). I highly recommend his service and we want to come back to see Nazare waves some day!Written November 16, 2022

- jaimedS5674ZN0 contributionsA full day experience that we'll keep forever in our memoryThe best tour, the best guide. We had memorable day!! Beautiful places, warm people, fantastico food.Written October 21, 2022
- thompsondc0 contributionsBest Way to See LisbonWe had a morning walking tour in Alfama, through our hotel (Memmo Alfama), and our tour guide was Frederico. He was so wonderful! Then, upon learning that it was our only full day in Lisbon and we were wondering what to see in the city, he offered a tuktuk tour. It was 100% "tailor made" to what we were interested in and what we felt like doing, and at a great price. He added so many personal touches -- stopping off to get local snacks, showing us his favorite vistas -- that it really felt like a hospitable, local tour. Highly recommend!Written December 14, 2021
- kmf89330 contributionsAmazing walking tour of Lisboa and SintraOur tour guide Ines Ramires gave a very intelligent and insightful tour of Lisboa and Sintra. I would highly recommend Ines to discerning tourists who want a thoughtful and enjoyable tour and to gain greater knowledge of the social history of these wonderful destinations.Written September 2, 2021
- MagNamaste0 contributionsGreat tour with InesWe had a private guided tour on a sunny sunday end of september with Ines R, from our hotel in Principe Real. Ines is an amazing guide, fond of portuguese and lisbon history. Her explanations help us to understand the city and life in Portugal. It was a pleasure to have her to discover Portugal on our first travel. I recommend her, she's great. Thanks again Inès. The french couple from AFWritten October 6, 2020
- peggymce0 contributionsVisit to Sintra & CascaisInes was amazing. She explained little known but extraordinary interesting things about what we were seeing. She completely tailored the visit and discussion to our interests and became a fast friend making it so much more enjoyable. It was like visiting with a friend and learning from her experience. It was fabulous. She navigated the experience and given the fact there were some kinks due to a running event, seamlessly provided ongoing narrative which made the day pass so quickly and enjoyably!Written January 26, 2020
- JenSingap0re0 contributionsHighly recommend a walking tour of Lisbon with Ines RamiresMy daughter and I had just arrived in Lisbon and took our hotel’s guest relations manager’s recommendation to do a walking tour of the city to familiarise ourselves before our 2 week stay. So glad we did as we were brought on an interesting 3km walk over 3 hours of the city’s winding streets around our hotel. Ines was knowledgeable, passionate about her city of Lisboa and introduced us to a local’s perspective. Her knowledge of the history of Lisboa was also excellent. We made a few unscheduled shopping stops along the way when something caught our eye but Ines was always obliging and flexible. Leather boots are a good buy in Lisbon. I had issues figuring out the laces and it was Ines on the floor in front of me trying to help me tie the laces without my asking. Service with a capital S. Thanks, Ines.Written December 15, 2019
- pibbster0 contributionsWow, wow wow!We did a full week tour with Tailor Made Travel. Lisbon, Sintra, Cascais, Obidos, Coimbra, then up to Porto and the Douro Valley wine tour. Everything was first class. Ines, Felip and Manel, our guides, were wonderful and all went out of their way to give us a unique experience. We saw places that weren't ever on our radar and experienced many different sides of Portugal. It's a gorgeous country! Highly recommend.Written October 28, 2019

We were referred to Luis Cardoso Meneses by out Hotel as we did not want to spend the full day on a group tour. This was perfect and affordable. He picked us up in the afternoon and we drove in a private car to the Palace in Sintra. Luis was fantastic and sharing both the history and the local trivia along the drive and really tied the story of the Portuguese royalty into the history of the region.
We really enjoyed Luis, the service, and the fact that we only spent a partial day of touring and getting see what we wanted versus a whole day with a large group. The only thing I regret is not doing this on the first day in Lisbon as we probably would have booked other activities with him. As a plus he recommended a couple restaurants that were really really good!
