Amazing place, set in beautiful grounds with far reaching views. Parking nearby entrance. Lots of steps within castle walls but we'll worth the effort, especially taking the fascinating spiral staircase up to the battlements. Beautiful azulejos, architecture, chapel, monks cells, very interesting. Video presentation explaining history in multi languages. Cafe and shop on site. Very reasonable entrance fee, would recommend at least 2 hours for visit.

Tomar is where you will find one of the last bastions of the Knight's Templar and keep your camera at the ready. The ancient buildings are marvelous and stunning. We then ate at the most quaint little restaurant we've ever been to. Almost our entire tour group ended up there, 2 x 2, 4 & 6. The owner had to send her daughter out to the market 3 times as it wasn't high season and they were pleasantly surprised to have almost all of our group of 26. There is a picture of the restaurant's card below. You can find plenty of pictures of Tomar on the net. The food at this little restaurant was scrumptious and the owner insisted that we all share a shot of Portuguese Ginja, a home brew of cherry brandy that you will no doubt come to taste even if you don't leave the airport. She somehow thought that we had brought everyone in, which, as each group passed and they saw familiar faces and came in, was not entirely right or wrong. 5* for the little wine bar that could!

We did two tours with Rui, seeing sights including the Neolithic stones, Óbidos, Evora, and Nazare. Rui was a wonderful guide and by the end of our tours, felt also like a friend.

We were super excited to see the Chapel of Bones in Evora and this trip did not disappoint. Although we picked the hottest day to do this tour, Rui made it trip fun and exciting. We saw cathedrals, Roman ruins, a fortress, and one of the oldest monoliths. Plus the drive through the countryside was beautiful. Rui was friendly and personable. He talked to us the entire way which made our trip great. Our kids even loved it. If you have a chance, don't miss this!

Rui provided a great experience in Lisbon and Sintra. He picked us up promptly at the airport and then took us on a great tour to Sintra. He was very informative about the area. We saw three different palaces in the area and had a little time in Sintra to explore. The palace of Queluz (Little Versailles) was beautiful and not at all crowded. The National Palace and the Palace of Pena were very interesting. We had a great introduction to the Sintra area.

Great experience all around! Highly recommend. Rui is so professional and friendly! His knowledge of the local areas was great as well. We did a full day with Real Click Tours, 5 of us, and he was flexible with our pickup and destinations. I thought Queluz National Palace was a real hidden gem! Would also recommend Sintra if visiting metro Lisbon for more than a day. Would book again for my next visit. Safe travels!

Our second day out with Rui. After a drive through the hills we arrived at Quinta Santa Maria in Gidril, a village perched on the edge of a valley. We were greeted by our British expat host who guided us through the beautiful grounds and outbuildings of the Quinta tasting wines and enjoying nibbles along the way. The wines were flavourful, and the nibbles carefully chosen to enhance each we tasted. Before leaving we purchased a couple of bottles to savour at home, of course! Next stop of the day was The Monastery at Mafra. While this 400 room palace may once have housed a monastery, it was the biggest and most ornate of the several palaces we were able to visit during our time in Portugal- built with Brazilian gold and reputed to have emptied the treasury! Rui will do custom tours, as ell: For our third trip we have Rui taking us on a self-designed Templar Castle tour. We suggested three sites we wished to visit and he put together our itinerary ending with a boat ride to The island of Castelo Almourol. Bound to be another magical day!

Our fourth day out with Rui- this time he took us South toward Evora, stopping first in the picturesque village of Arraiolos where tapestry rugs have been crafted since the 16th century. A wander through the village and tapestry studios made us feel as though we had stepped back in time. A feeling that remained as we visited Evora with its remarkable Roman remains. But our travel through time continued even further back as, in the late afternoon we arrived at the Almendes Cromlech - a megalithic double stone circle, the finest in Portugal and reportedly one of the oldest in Europe. Because it’s off the beaten track, down a rutted and difficult to navigate lane passing through groves of cork trees, the site doesn’t receive many visitors. We had it all but to ourselves as the sun began to set, casting sunbeams and shadows all around. Truly magical! As always, Rui recommended a great little restaurant for lunch in Evora and conveyed us safely home to Galamares at the end of the day..

There is a lot of nice, interesting, nature and-historic place to visit ... in this central area:Alcobaça is romantic and the place where Portuguese Peter1 and Ines de Castro where buried their story is like a Romeu and Juliet with a tragic ending , the city itself is full of nice places to buy China and souvenirs. I ate at Pratus. And as I like a lot the place I came back and ate at Antonio’s both restaurants were very good, at Nazaré I was taken by the force of nature - its i incredible to look Those Giants waves ..Fatima is a sacred mystic place all of these places worth the trip

Before I and my wife started the wine tasting tour, Rui the tour guide from Real Click Tours gave us an induction about the farm and during the travel to Mafra he was always willing to answer some questions about Lisbon and the industry of wine in Portugal. The farm is very beautiful with nice background rolling vineyards and with a fantastic landscape. The wine tasting tour was provided by a local guide and so explaining us the production and the quality of the Vineyard. We tasted awesome wines in the manor house (five different wines from the farm) served with delicious cheeses, olives and biscuits. Also we visited the chapel from XV Century within the farm and a fantastic opportunity for a stroll along the village. The price of the tour is attractive and in overall we are very satisfied by this excellent tour that Rui has provided. We strongly recommend Rui for this kind of tour!

Rui is an excellent tour guide. He’s kind and has a very heartwarming attitude. He drove us around Lisbon mostly. If I happen to visit Lisbon again, I’ll book his tours because he seems to know a lot more than any other guides. Thank you Rui, we had a great time in Lisbon because of you. See you again. :)

Very nice man, who was, on time, flexible and able to change the itinerary to accommodate your needs and interest. I would recommend him for travelers who wanted to see many stops and reliable driving and knowledge of different places to see.

Rui gave us an excellent tour of Lisbon. He took us to the places we wanted to see and to other important sites. He is pleasant and knowledgeable.

He’s very helpful, good in English, no problem with communicating with him, he also suggested some sightseeing spots and itineraries to us, the whole day car ride was long but very easy though cos he’s a very safe driver.

Rui Vasconcelos was our personal tour guide for 1 day while we (2 couples) were in Lisbon in September 2018. We could not have picked a better tour guide. He is an excellent tour guide: knowledgeable, reliable, friendly and professional. He is very passionate about Lisbon so his commentary is very interesting. His rate was very reasonable. I do not hesitate to recommend him very highly to people who want to make the most of their time in Lisbon.
