We thoroughly enjoyed our full day, small group (6 persons) shore excursion/tour to Sintra and Cascais with Vitor as our guide when our cruise ship docked in Lisbon. Vitor was prompt, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly, and provided us with a relaxing and enjoyable tour during our time in Portugal.

We just finished two weeks on a private tour of Portugal and Spain, 4400km 30 cities/towns visiting attractions we knew very little about before the trip other than a route I decided on trying to take in as much of the coastlines as possible so we could mix in some beach time, historical sights and stay cool. Our driver Vitor and his brother Jose own the business and really made it easy to sit back and relax and enjoy the sights without stressing about how to get from point A to B and what we must see and what might be optional. Vitor was our personal chauffeur and expert tour guide and helped us with restaurant advice and some translations. My wife and two teenagers really enjoyed the first class ride with Wifi and very comfortable seats and the companionship with Vitor's entertaining stories. We had flexibility to stay when we were having fun and move on when we had enough. They are very responsive and answered my pre-trip questions promptly. You will need to book your own hotels as they cannot know their client's preferences, but tour routes can be tailored to your likes. Amazingly there was not one argument while driving...and I never got lost, needed to ask for directions, no speeding or parking tickets and could enjoy a beer or glass of port along the way without any worries. Now I'm back home and need the sword we bought in Spain to fend off my family. Oh well back to reality.

We have traveled extensively and have had great adventures all around the world, but our trip to Portugal in May 2014 tops them all! We were chauffeured by our very knowledgeable guide in a private luxury Mercedes van for ten glorious days. We explored Lisbon, Sintra, Fatima and Coimbra, medieval border towns and coastal fishing villages, the cork producing region of Alentejo, Porto, the Douro Valley and Penada-Geres National Park. We took a cooking class, visited a cork factory, sampled local pastries and wines. Our only regret was that it had to come to an end.

We discovered Portugal Premium Private Tours after researching tour companies online, and based on their excellent ratings, submitted a request for pricing and itineraries. Jose Pais was extremely responsive, and through the course of several iterations, helped us to design our 10-day visit to the country's central and northern regions. He recommended hotels in each location (which we then booked online) and answered questions as they arose. A deposit of 10% of the total charge, made through PayPal, was required to book the final itinerary.

We flew into Lisbon and were met at the airport by our guide, Vitor. If Jose was the architect of our trip, Vitor was our conductor! Extremely professional and personable, Vitor focused on the details of our safety and comfort as we toured each day. An expert on his country and culture, he met us each morning at the door of our hotel, at the time of our choosing, and led us on another round of new adventures. Always flexible and always ready to respond to every need and request, he went above and beyond our expectations (to include driving all the way back to a restaurant to pick up a favorite hat that had been left behind, securing an autographed copy of the book describing "Tram 28" after our day with the author, locating a luggage shop so we could buy an extra suitcase to carry the gifts we purchased, etc, etc)! We are forever spoiled.

We highly recommend Portugal Premium Private Tours, whether you are visiting the country for one day or for many. It's the best way to travel!

We completed an 11 day tour all over the northern half of Portugal with Premium tours this past June. Jose was outstanding in helping design the tour. He offered excellent advice and great assistance. Francisco, our driver/guide, could not have been better. He is first, a very good driver. But he was accomodating, understanding, a good guide, and an excellent source of knowledge on the country. Great trip. Highly recommend.

Jose was the best guide we've ever had! He went above and beyond what we expected. We were able to visit all the sites we were interested in and then some. Jose is very professional and knowledgable and it was a pleasure to spend the day with him. He has a great personality and we had many laughs. Joao handled our transfer from the airport to our hotel and he was courtesy and professional and pointed our some sites of interest during our drive. I highly recommend hiring Jose and his staff. You will not be disappointed.
