Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- janebH6560KI0 contributionsExcellent tour guideDiana was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of us and shared so much information. Diana was personable and thoughtful. We were able to tailor the trip for what we wanted to do. Of all the tours we took, this was the best!! I highly recommend using this company for any of their tours!Written 6 November 2024
- susanatV5903AO0 contributionsExcellent tour with Diana!Excellent tour with Diana! She was so kind and warm, it felt like we were with an old friend. Wonderful to not have to worry about any details, Diana took care of everything. She was great with our children and kept them engaged.Written 17 August 2024
- Roam598518674570 contributionsAbsolutely fantasticDiana Diaz is THE best. She is knowledgeable and a delight to be around. Having a private tour made all the difference. This is the second time I've toured with her, in fact. My trips to Lisbon will always include her. Thank you.Written 13 August 2024
- Jocelynn M0 contributionsPrivate tour of SintraI did a private tour of 3 of the palaces in Sintra. Diana was very friendly and professional. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Sintra and the palaces we visited. I very much enjoyed my day. It was a great experience.Written 7 July 2024
- Safari5242010 contributionsFantastic day in SintraWhat a wonderful full day we spent with Diana! She picked us up directly from our accommodation around 8:30 in her very comfortable minivan and showed us around Sintra, Quinta de Regaleiro, Peña Palace and Cascais. We also sampled some of the local delicacies. Thanks to her vast knowledge, we learned lots of interesting and historical facts as we visited. We could never have had the same experience without her. Our teenagers, aged 13 and 16, really enjoyed it too. I was afraid that spending a whole day with a guide would be too long, but on the contrary, the day went by very quickly. Having a private guide to yourself is truly incomparable. Her patience and good humor made the day an unforgettable experience. I recommend her without any hesitation.Written 28 June 2024
- freddC6792VH0 contributionsFlexible, Knowledgeable Guide who took us in a comfortable vehicle to great sites.Diana was fantastic. We used her for a total of four days. She was so knowledgeable about Portugal. For this tour of Fatima, the Batalha monastery, Nazare and Obidos Diana was able to balance the important to us of spending time at the religious sites with the other activities such as seeing the big waves at Obidos. We never felt rushed. In fact, there were times when Diana would have liked to add more to the day but we couldn't keep up! She was full of energy and and my daughters 16 and 14 absorbed so much on this tour.Written 29 January 2024
- deborahmF5265AA0 contributionsSintra tour with Diana Dias - amazing!My husband, 25 year old daughter and I had a fabulous day with Diana. She is knowledgeable, personable, knows all the back roads to avoid traffic and a lot of fun. Communication was easy and Diana was on time for pickup at our Airbnb. If you are considering a day in Sintra/Cascais chose Diana Dias and you won’t be sorry! Abrigada!Written 23 October 2023
- 878sarim0 contributionsTwo wonderful days in the AlgarveWe used Ricardo as our tour guide for 2 days in the Algarve. You can email Ricardo and Diana at info@rideforyouportugal.com. Ricardo was wonderful. He is personable, knowledgeable and took good care of us. Importantly, he was a careful and good driver! We all enjoyed his company and his knowledge of the region. I highly recommend Ride for you Portugal. The landscape in the Algarve is breathtaking.Written 19 October 2023
- Eva K0 contributionsPersonalized experienceIf you want an experience that feels like your tour guide is a family member, then Diana is it! So kind and personable, knowledgeable, accommodating, and just a fun lady to tour with.we did 2 8 hour tours with Diana and those were at the top of our highlights from our trip to Portugal. We were carted in an air conditioned vehicle, taken to numerous towns, cities, learned the culture and history of each. We we’re never rushed, we could take as much or as little time as we wanted at each location. Thank you Diana for being part of the King family for a couple days!Written 5 October 2023
- coreyman970 contributionsNuno is Numero UnoOur guide Nuno was absolutely wonderful. We spent an entire day with him in Lisbon, Sintra, Cascais and Belém. Nuno’s’ knowledge and how he shares information was superb. As cliche as it sounds, we felt like an old friend was taking us around. As we requested different things to do, he accommodated us effortlessly. This day could not have turned out any better.Written 4 October 2023
- James B0 contributionsExcellent day of educationAn 8 hour tour for three of us. We visited Peña Palace, Sintra, Cabo Da Roca, and Cascais. From the time Diana picked us up at our AirBnB we were kept informed about the sights of Lisbon and any questions we asked were answered with a deep knowledge of the area. We were extremely comfortable as she maneuvered professionally through some of the most challenging traffic I have experienced in many years. The attention to detail she provided made our tour excellent. I highly recommend hiring this guide and her company. We were very impressed by her thorough explanation of the history of Portugal. We can’t say enough about our wonderful, enjoyable, and educational day.Written 21 September 2023
- janetteanddavids0 contributionsFabulous day with Diana.We had the very best day with Diana, ( also known as Rosa😜). We saw so much in our day with Diana which included being picked up in Lisbon, Peña Palace, Sintra, a wonderful seafood restaurant, cork trees, Colares winery, Cascais, and the most westerly point in Europe. A full day of brilliant sites with a effervescent and knowledgeable tour guide. I can absolutely recommend. Her car was super comfy and she was highly considerate of its temperature too. Great day and thank you so much Diana.Written 24 August 2023

Had two amazing days touring around with Diana Dias as our guide. We covered a lot of ground in Lisbon and the second day in Sintra ending in Caiscais. Diana has tons of knowledge and was very organized with her itinerary of events. A ver comfortable ride in her van set up so those in the far back could also hear her clearly. We could have never figured all this out on our own! Reasonably priced and she is delightful. Fit right in with our group of 6. We really missed her the next day when on our own.

We did a day trip to Sintra with Diana Dias and it was fantastic! She picked us up at our hotel in her beautiful van and drove us to Sintra while giving us facts about where we were going.
Once there, she guided us through the palaces and the chapel (and took a few photos of us). Then we visited downtown Sintra before a fabulous lunch near the ocean.
Afterwards we visited the westernmost point of continental Europe as well as the town of Cascais. Highly recommend Diana and this tour. Diana is such a wonderful tour guide!

Diana and Ride for You are great! My wife and I just spent 3 full days touring Lisbon, Sintra, Obidos, Caiscais and wine tastings in the Lisbon area. Diana made it all easy and fun. Don’t miss an opportunity to see Portugal through the eyes of someone who loves it. Diana did it all from airport transfers to great lunch recommendations. She is so pleasant and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!!
