We arrived by cruiseship, were with 13 people including 2 toddlers. Not an easy group. But Catia handled it all very well. She is a very kind lady and very knowledgeable. One of our wishes was a local lunch with Fado music. Know how difficult it is to get Fado at lunchtime, but she managed. We had a wonderful lunch... More

Catia picked us up at our hotel and drove us to Sintra where we visited the Pena Palace and toured around the town. We stopped at Cabo de Roca for photos and then went on to see Cascais. She even altered the itinerary a bit so we could see Belem on the way back. Catia is very personable, knowledgeable and... More

I've never written a review before, but I really feel this young lady deserve one! Catia, owner of Lisbon Stories, gave our group of 6 people a wonderful day tour in Sintra and surrounding areas today. If you are heading this way for vacation or business and want an exception tour, by an officially licensed guide, send her an email... More

Lisbon Stories, tour guide Catia Luis, is a fantastic guide and very friendly and accommodating. I needed a short 3 hour tour including lunch, after disembarking from a cruise and before leaving Lisbon for another European city. Her tour provided everything my husband and I needed, stops in the old part of the city, roman ruins and lunch at a... More

Glad to hear that you loved your tour in Lisbon. I enjoyed it myself, it's always nice to look deeper at Alfama, specially with a nice "group". Best regards, Catia More

Katia was a fantastic tour guide. She is the perfect balance between informative and fun and really brought Portugal to life for us. We did 2 separate tours with Katia. The first was in Lisbon and she gave us a wonderful walking tour of the city, taking us to some quirky hidden gems and pointing out their historical significance. In... More

Having done a fair amount of travel in Europe, my wife and I have come to appreciate the value of a good city guide for getting to know a place more quickly and intimately than what guide books and travel articles can offer. Cátia Luis more than met our expectations during our four day stay in Lisbon this past October.... More

Catia was great - she planned a fun day and was one of the most knowledgeable guides that I've ever had on a trip. She has a great understanding of the country of Portugal, the history and took us on fabulous wine tastings! More

Even though she did not ride she was game enough to give it a go and did exceptionally... More

There are many advantages in hiring a private tour guide over “getting by” as most tourist do. The first is organizing the day, so that your limited time in Portugal is used effectively; the second is getting around in some vehicle; and the third is interacting with locals when you don't speak the language. Catia is a tour guide who... More
