About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- williamcH7163AD0 contributionsLisbon Private TourOur Lisbon Private Tour was great! We were picked up by Ricardo in a beautiful late model Mercedes. We spent the entire day seeing all the popular tourist spots plus a few not so well known. Ricardo was very knowledgeable about the city and it's history. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone with a desire to get an overview of Lisbon in a single day.Written March 24, 2024
- Aimee M0 contributionsSafe private city tourJoão was a great driver. He was on time and courteous. He was able to tell us the complete history of Lisbon and answer any questions we had. He recommended a great restaurant for lunch. It should be noted that these private tours are drivers and do not guide you around the actual sites. It’s very nice having a private driver.Written March 10, 2024
- brieh8990 contributionsBest driver ever!We used the transfer service. Our driver was Ricardo Ceia and he was excellent! He picked us up at the airport and delivered us to the Corinthia. He gave us some suggestions for out stay and we took them! He was also our ride to the train station, where my daughter discovered she’d left her phone in his car! Before we could even contact our agent for his phone number, he was calling us to report that he was on his way back with her phone! Thank you, Ricardo!Written January 6, 2024
- howardf30 contributionsPerfect company for touring and transportation needsLux on Wheels is professional and the best. A great day of touring in Sintra. Additionally Lux on Wheels provided transportation for my wife and I from Lisbon to Porto and on another day from Porto to the far end of the Douro Valley. Every driver, guide and car exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend them.Written October 20, 2023
- Marc S0 contributionsRide in Style and Comfort!We engaged Lux on Wheels at the suggestion of Cecelia, the concierge at our hotel in Lisbon. The driver was right n time with his very comfortable Mercedes, and we talked about Portugal, the scenery, and politics as he drove is to Sintra and then Cascais before returning us to the hotel. Reasonably priced and willing to explore places not on the official route, we really enjoyed getting to know our driver and seeing what the Portuguese countryside had to offer. Much better than boarding a mini-bus (or larger) at the hotel and being locked into an itinerary.Written July 8, 2023
- sarazK2287AY0 contributionsAmazing Service!Everything was fabulous. Our driver was on time, he communicated with us throughout the journey to Sintra, teaching us history of the city. He was helpful, informative and the car was in beautiful shape. Will definitely be using again!Written January 3, 2023
- U1645LImariem0 contributionsGreat service!We used Lux on Wheels for a round trip transfer from Lisbon airport to a boutique hotel in Cascais, Portugal. There were 8 of us with lots of luggage. The drivers met us in the lobby of the airport. They were courteous and gave us lots of local history and information on our 30 minute ride to the hotel. On our return trip they were prompt and very helpful in arriving at the airport. This was an excellent service and I highly recommend them.Written September 13, 2021
- TEMPTINGTRAVELS0 contributionsThe most fantastic trip to Sintra, Cabo da Roca, Cascais and Estoril CoastWe had the most relaxing, informative and beautiful trip to Sintra, Cabo da Roca, Cascais and the Estoril coast from the superb and knowledgeable Luis at Lux On Wheels. It was a magical day with the perfect balance of history, culture, and vibrant locations sublimely executed by Luis and the team at Lux on Wheels. Luis arrived with the most delicious freshly baked pastel de Belem that we requested, to save time from standing online. He also heroically saved my sunglasses which blew off my body and over the wall down the side of the mountain at the fiercely windy Cabo da Roca. Thank you Luis for an incredibly memorable and thoroughly enjoyable day! Absolutely recommend this tour company snd be sure to ask for Luis! 11 out of 10!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Written August 13, 2021
- LewyV0 contributionsExcellent Service.Excellent and efficient service, punctual, friendly and professional. Executive class and highly recommended.Written July 21, 2020
- Elina A0 contributionsA very professional, friendly driver on our short-haul transferWe travelled from Lisbon to Cascais with this company. The driver was exceptionally friendly, courteous and knowledgeable guide with lots of expertise (driving, customer service, languages, history...) and he was driving very nicely and safely which is important to us. We would recommend this company to all travellers who wish a safe, friendly, luxury service. Thank you Lux on Wheels! We would definitely use their service any time we are back in Portugal!Written January 7, 2020
- madontravel570 contributionsMost professionalThe most professional company I have had the pleasure of using. My driver Nuno was a true gentleman and most courteous man who showed a lot a passion and knowledge of Lisbon. I was picked up at the airport then given a afternoon tour around Lisbon before being dropped off at my hotel for the evening. Then the next morning Nuno picked me up and I was given a full day tour around Lisbon and Belém. There was a huge line waiting to get inside the Church of Santa Maria and while I was inside the Jerónimos Monastery, Nuno stood inline to saved me a spot which allowed more time for seeing other sites. The car was very comfortable and clean and there were bottles of water supplied for me. It was a truly wonderful day and I would highly recommend Lux on Wheels to everybody. Thankyou Lux on Wheels and Nuno for a truly wonderful experience.Written November 17, 2019
- Discover214607188510 contributionsLux on Wheels / Paulo - Great Experience in SintraPaulo shared the history of the region on the drive and was just a joy to spend time with. Knew the shortcuts, optimized value of my time.Written November 2, 2019
- JerseyLB0 contributionsExcellent ServiceWe booked a trip to go to Fatima for the day and after searching everything was around €400.00.. Was a bit too much for us. I find this company who proposed the trip for €264.00 and start to talk with Diogo on WhatsApp who was very efficient and very professional. We even didn't pay online and pay the driver directly in cash. The car we had was a Mercedes-Benz very clean and new model. The driver was excellent, very professional, good driver on road, good English and 2 bottles of water in the car. We couldn't fault anything. Definitely recommended if you travel around Lisbon.Written October 6, 2019
- 4Delanys0 contributionsAbsolutely brilliant!We had a wonderful day with Lux on Wheels to Sintra, Monserrate and Cascais. Our driver Joaquim was extremely knowledgeable and very relaxed. Nothing was rushed which made our day seamless. A big highlight was lunch at Meste Ze by the sea. Lux on Wheels are a very professional organisation of which we will absolutely use again. Their flexibility when my mother became unwell was also very much appreciated. To Diogo and all at Lux on Wheels, thank you for a very memorable stay in Lisbon.Written October 5, 2019
- jessanddan12170 contributionsAmazing!We had the most amazing time with Lux On Wheels! Mendes was so nice, punctual, and a great driver! He was incredibly informative on our trip, so much so we booked him for a second day after we did the first day! We were in Portugal for our honeymoon and couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide! We will certainly be using you again if we go back!Written September 14, 2019

We hired Lux On Wheels for a five day, five night excursion from Lisbon to Porto. We also engaged them to pick us up at the airport and on departure day return to the airport. The overall experience was exceptional, highly custom, and fairly priced.
I came up with a tentative itinerary from Lisbon to Porto that included sites in Metro Lisbon (Day 1), more Lisbon (Day 2), Sintra and Cascais (Day 3), a coastal drive to Porto (Day 4), Porto and Douro River valley (Day 5). The return to Lisbon to catch a flight the next morning was late on day 5, but very efficiently handled even though a long day. The roads in Portugal that we took seemed pretty new, and divided interstate type. It made for smooth traveling in the nice Mercedes sedan. Our driver Joao was very professional, and easy to work with as we managed each site and our journey north, and then back south to Lisbon.
A few highlights: First, we spent two nights in the Penha Longa resort for easy access to Sintra, and to position for our northern coastal drive. It is a five-star resort worth your time and convenience. If we go back to Portugal, we will return to this nice resort and reserve a Jr Suite again.
Second, my wife enjoys churches, ocean views, and food. Our driver Joao made certain we made key stops to see magnificent old churches, breathtaking ocean views, and over the top lunch spots which typically had amazing fresh fish! He expertly showed us what we needed to see, and we moved forward to the next site, and then the next site, until we reached Porto. We couldn’t see everything so we had to carefully manage our time to max out each day.
Third, somehow we saw 80% of the key highlights in Porto on day 5 morning (including the Harry Potter bookstore!), and then headed east to see the Douro River Valley (wine region). Whatever you do, make time for this wine region excursion which is incredibly beautiful. It was the highlight of our trip! From Joao’s recommendation we had lunch at DOC chef Rui Paula’s restaurant. It is nesteled in by the Douro river with vineyards on the surrounding valley hills. I have been to Tuscany more than once and this location and restaurant eclipsed any Tuscany spot I have visited. He is a world class chef, and the food is beyond words! Joao then took us to a winery and to the super hip Six Senses Douro Valley resort. It is hard to summarize how unique and special our Day 5 was! While we were “on the go”, it is a day that we will never forget, and wouldn’t have happened without Joao and Lux On Wheels.
Thank you Joao and Lux On Wheels for a custom tour of your beautiful country!

It was an amazing experience. Luis was an incredible person to spend the day with yesterday. We had such a wonderful day that we booked another tour with your company for tomorrow to go to Fatima. Do we get a multiple trip discount?

Nuno Mendez was our superior driver to Sintra, Cascais and nearby environs. Mr. Mendez’s language skills were excellent. His sense of what we would like to see was on target. He talked enough but not too much. He pointed out many local features and provided plenty of cultural background and history. His timing was excellent. Highly recommended. We took half a day but you could take more time for stops, building tours and lunch.

We hired Lux On Wheels to take us to Sintra for a day trip and it was awful. Driver had terrible attitude and was negative about everything for the day. He complained the Palace was too crowded and there wasn’t a place to park and we should have started the day much earlier. We told him repeatedly that we didn’t care and we were happy to take the time to explore. After viewing the Palace there was a long line to take the bus back to the parking lot. We asked if we could walk down as there was a path and the grounds were beautiful. He first said we should wait for the bus and he wasn’t wearing the correct shoes and it would be a 15 minute walk. We said we would prefer to walk and we finally did - which took 5 minutes.
He informed us that he made a lunch reservation for us - he did not share any information in advance or ask us our preferences. We sat for over 1.5 hours without being served - Then food finally arrived and we were shocked to see the bill which was €300.
The driver met us after lunch and then continued the tour by taking on a route to show us condo developments and hotels before reaching a beach to visit for the sunset. We then headed back to Lisbon where we were stopped in bumper to bumper traffic due to a Marathon. How could a professional driver not know there was a Marathon in Lisbon and be prepared for the drive.
We have never experienced such poor service on a private tour.
We spoke to the company manager and he was rude and absolutely took no responsibility for the actions of his driver. He told me that they have driven for the Presidents’s wife - so that should make up for having poor service?!

Dear Customer,
Thank you for your review.
We're sorry that you had such a bad experience.
Our drivers always advise the best to our clients based on previous experiences to guarantee their comfort and well being during the tour.
Regarding the restaurant we always choose the best options to ensure you are satisfied, because sometimes its very difficult to book a table. But you always have access to the menu with the prices before you order. And we don't receive anything or get any profit with your meals.
About the Marathon, we can't control traffic either, and its impossible to avoid some roads in Lisbon, like the one that where your hotel was.
I hope you understand and we're sorry that you had that experience, but we really did everything we could to guarantee your satisfaction.
Thank you
best regards

We just got back from a day trip to Sintra and Caiscais with Nuno. He was very knowledgable and provided excellent service. The Mercedes was extremely comfortable for 4 adults and the price was comparable to other tours that weren't private for a party of 4. We were even allowed to bring along my small dog who travels with me in Europe. Portugal is not as pet-friendly as some other European countries, so Nuno took care of her while we were in the palace or at lunch. I recommend this service as the best way to see these sites.
