About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- travelwinedoglife0 contributionsA wonderful day!Our tour guide, Anastasiya, was outstanding. She was friendly, funny, informative, patient and easy to be with for a full day of touring. We were able to do/see everything as planned in the itinerary. We enjoyed our time at each stop. Fatima was a true highlight and not to be missed. We had time on our own in Nazare for lunch on the beach. It was a wonderful day. Thank you!Written February 1, 2025
- evangelosk1280 contributionsMemorable day trip from LisbonAnastasiya was our tour guide , and she was excellent as was the tour. Initially we went to the Shrine of Fatima, admiring its grandeur and its profound holiness. We further went to the village where the children who witnessed the Virgin Mary were raised. We then saw the dramatic Monastery of Batalha, after which we travelled to Nazares and then onto Obidas. Thorough, informative and memorable tour. Anastasiya was very professional and punctual.Written December 19, 2024
- robertccl270 contributionsA faith journey mixed with cultural experienceVery well paced private tour. Anastácia was amazing. She is so friendly and a wealth of knowledge about the country, its history and culture. Now if you want to eat something special the region around Fátima is known for, ask Anastácia to take you to the restaurant where suckling pig is their specialty! So yummy…Written December 11, 2024
- twobobbies0 contributionsGreat tour guideExcellent, on time , actually she was early,safe driver,easy to understand,very pleasant, we in our mid seventies with some walking issues, she made sure any obstacles we encountered was pointed out for our safety. She explained everything answered all our questions, we would highly recommend.Written December 4, 2024
- J8184HDmarkr0 contributionsAmazing day at Fatima and ObidosReally enjoyed seeing Fatima, Monastery of Battle and Obidos. Our tour guide Anatasia was amazing. Very knowledgeable and personable. She made us feel like family. Great lunch too! We highly recommend Kitzel Tours.Written November 28, 2024
- WirePaladin0 contributionsGood guide on tourDriver John was personable and informative. I would recommend him. Expected more in Fatima, wasn’t much to see. Too much time spent shopping after that.Written November 15, 2024
- janett7680 contributionsThe only way to go - a private tour to FatimaWe were met at our hotel by Anastasiia for a private tour of Fatima. Her knowledge of Fatima and the other places we visted was exceptional. Visiting Fatima and the place where the three shepherds lived was my goal and I really loved it. We ended up in a mass at the church there so I had to leave without taking some photos. Anastasiia took me back there later so I could take them.Our visit to Obidos, Nazare and the Monastery of Battle were an added bonus. I would recommend Kitzel tours and Anastasiia if you want a really great day.Written November 15, 2024
- Jp W0 contributionsThe tour was great. The driver/guide, Anastasia, was excellent. Tells us in detail the places we visited. Friendly.Great tour. Enjoyed every minute of it.

- Robert D0 contributionsBest tour in LisbonJohn was without a doubt, one of the best tour guides we have ever had throughout the world. He was thoughtful,careful. on time.his information was spot on and very enjoyable to be with for the whole period of the day. We would rate him a 10 if there was a 10 but for this it’s only a five… We most likely would come back to Lisbon to simply have another tour with John. That might be the best recommendation I can give you thanks Bob KimWritten October 20, 2024

We had the most amazing experience with John and Kitzel tours. He was one of the best tour guides we have ever experienced with a family ranging from 3 to 70 years old and visiting 12+ countries. John is attentive, patient with kids, and mindful of limitations. Do not hesitate to book your tour with them!! We wish we had booked more excursions. His historical knowledge and ability to communicate in multiple languages is phenomenal.

The Tomar tour was very informative and lunch at an restaurant with an amazing view! I could not have asked for more entertaining and jovial tour guide. He took great photos and let us have enough time to enjoy the tour while still completing all the stop of the itinerary in our tour. We will be back for more!

-Tour was very good (but long). Basically a full day lasting 8-9 hrs including the commute.
-Excellent value for the money.
-Anastasiya was excellent. Very knowledgeable and well versed in the history of the region and Lisbon in general.
-She was always helpful, pleasant and willing to assist in any way.
-She gave us amazing insights into all the places that we visited and it was obvious that she took her job very seriously and was prepared with a wealth of information.
-Very relaxed pace and a chance to take many photos, stay longer in areas that we liked and no pressure at all to move along faster than we wanted.
-I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone and will definitely do another tour with her should we return to Lisbon in the future.

We greatly enjoyed our Knights Templar tour with JoĂŁo. Even before the tour, he was very communicative and then arrived promptly to whisk us away from Lisbon for the day. In addition to showing us magnificent sites, he kept the discussion interesting, with everything from history to fiction and conspiracy theories. The pace was good, with enough time to enjoy each stop, plus a leisurely lunch at a tasty restaurant he suggested in Tomar. We wouldn't hesitate to book another tour with him the next time we're in Lisbon.

Joao may be the best guide I have ever had the pleasure of spending time with.
Initially my partner was going to do the Templars tour on his own as it is his lifelong obsession, but Joao insisted he would make the tour fun for me too and he was not wrong.
He picked us up in his air-conditioned car and drove us from spot to spot narrating everything we were seeing with a David Attenborough level of knowledge and enthusiasm. At times I genuinely forgot he was our guide as it felt like we were meeting a long lost friend driving us around his favourite spots for the sheer fun of it. As well as his encyclopaedic knowledge of all things Templar, he could also answer any question I threw at him. I had a mild anxiety attack at one point when we were high up in a castle, and for the rest of the tour he took my mental wellbeing into consideration suggesting different pathways and always asking how I am feeling before continuing to the next stage of our journey.
The day ended with him dropping us off at our hotel late afternoon, with the exact same high energy and enthusiasm he had when he picked us up in the morning. Anyone would be lucky to spend the day with someone so knowledgeable, king and passionate about his job as Joao. Thank you Kitzel Tours for an unforgettable day!

This was my second time to Lisbon and I used Kitzel Tours for 2 private tours. This company went above and beyond to make our tour amazing. JoĂŁo was a great fit for us as he has a wonderful sense of humor and a great deal of knowledge also a guide that would be great for a teenager explaining we wanted some history however not an overkill history lesson (taking into consideration I was with my teenage son). My son and I loved our time visiting these beautiful parts of Portugal and having a professional with you makes it a perfect experience. I highly recommend this tour company when visiting Portugal, Taking a private tour with Kitzel Tours is the best way to go as you can control what you want to see and do. If you really want an incredible guide ask for JoĂŁo, I am so thankful we were able to meet him, he really made our time in Lisbon unforgettable.

Excellent service. John is wonderful. He made our family trip to Portugal most rewarding. His knowledge, energy, friendliness, and easy-going nature made our visit more memorable than we could have imagined. We recommend using their services if you want to see a lot of what Portugal has to offer in a short amount of time. My family (group of 7) used them for 3 full days of guiding and we were not disappointed. I would suggest letting them decide where you should go as all the choices they made were excellent. We even used them for transport to and from the airport and found that efficient and comfortable. If you go to Portugal make sure you Kitzel Tours Portugal.
