      Great day.
      Worth going on this tour. Fatima was amazing. We were able to catch some of the mass at Basilica as well as the rosary in the outdoor chapel. The new church was also distinctive. The views of the waves at Nazare were great. The monastery in Batalha was interesting. The medieval town of Obidos was enchanting with Christmas theme and lights. Best of all was our guide Goncalo Cruz, very patient answering all questions, providing in-depth and cultural information, professional and charming. His love for country, history and chosen profession is very apparent. Bravo.

      Amazing Guide and Tour
      This was an excellent private tour with Goncalo. He speaks good English and has a very nice, comfortable car. He is a very knowledgeable and personable guide. We really enjoyed this tour. The Queluz Palace was absolutely amazing. It was the highlight of the tour. The gardens and the tile canal are incredible. There are some beautiful rooms and chandeliers in the palace too. The Mafra Monastery is also quite nice. This is an excellent tour especially if you have already done a couple of the top sites like the Pena Palace.

      Great 1.5 days with Goncalo. Well worth the money for these tours!
      Fabulous tour with Goncalo....he is knowledgeable, fun and speaks great english. He took us everywhere the tour outlines and gave our group of 6 ladies lots of free time to look around in each place. He has a great sense of humour and is very flexible with special requests (like bathroom breaks :). Nice, clean Mercedes SUV with free bottles of water in case we were thirsty - picked us up, on time, at our cruiseship port and dropped us back, right on schedule. Well worth the money. Highly recommend. We also did the 1/2 day Lisboa tour with him the next day and he took us all around Lisbon, showing us the various highlights of the city and allowed us time to shop. In all, a fabulous day and a half. If you are going all the way to Lisbon, you may as well let Goncalo show you around. Very informative and enjoyable tours. Thank you Goncalo!

      Great tour with an excellent guide
      We had a wonderful day with Gonçalo. Each stop on the tour was unique, we enjoyed getting to experience the different sites and villages both with him and when we went off on our own with some recommendations from him. At each stop and while traveling between Gonçalo shared a wealth of information about the site, history, and culture. When we encountered some road closures that impacted the plan for the day he quickly came up with options for us and we continued on our way having a great day. We highly recommend any tour led by Gonçalo!

      The most beautiful place in Portugal
      Amazing views and an incredibly pretty town to spend time in. It is ridiculously popular. Our guide Goncalo knew the perfect ways in and out and the right times to avoid peek traffic while we still feel like we got the full Sintra experience. You will get all of the information and more on this tour and come out amazed and educated!

He provides a very clean luxury car and a luxury experience to go along with it. Highly personalized and attentive experience!

      Wonderful tour experience
      Goncola was an amazing guide! Very knowledgeable about the city of Evora, and friendly. Gave great recommendations of places to eat in the city and restaurants in Lisbon close to our hostel where we were staying. We had a separate tour for Sintra that was cancelled and Goncola was able to take us last minute. He did a fantastic job of beating the crowds and showing spots even though the monuments were closed. Highly recommend him as a tour guide in the city.

      Great tour to know Portugal.
      My friends and I had a great time with Goncalo. He took the time to explain us everything. He was very friendly and easy going to talk to. I would definitely recommend this tour guide if you are visiting Portugal. Definitely recommending him to my friends and family. Thank you again for the lovely experience! PS: we booked 4 full days with him, and it was worth it :)!

      excellent guide
      What a joyful day! Gonçalo showed us around and knew exactly how to avoid big waiting lines and show the nice places of the area. He was very knowledgeable about historical facts, and most important a nice guide to talk with. We've had a relaxing day and seen a lot of beautiful places. Thanks for the great tour.

      Book with Goncalo Cruz!
      We ran into Goncalo Cruz at a bifana place in the back of Time Out Market. We started chit chatting and found out he's a tour guide. We wish we knew about him before we booked all of our tours. Our guide we booked the day before didn't inform us much about Fatima so Goncalo explained everything we missed out on. He is very nice, has great energy, a wealth of knowledge, and a great driver. We witnessed him drive and park in a very narrow spot with a crowd around him while waiting in line for our bifanas. Coincidentally, we ran into him giving a private tour to a couple the next morning at Pena Palace. We will definitely book him if we return to Lisbon!

      The Best Sintra Tour Guide, the Best Sintra Tour!
      This was an absolutely fantastic tour! Gonzalo is so knowledgeable, energetic, generous and kind. He went out of his way to make sure our Sintra experience was top shelf. He picked us up in a very comfortable, new Mercedes sedan. Gonzalo joined us on our Pena Palace tour, which was awesome because we would have missed so much. Other people were sticking close to us so they could hear what he was saying!! During the full day tour, in addition to sightseeing, Gonzalo brought us to a wonderful pastry shop and then small local restaurant where the food was delicious! We would highly recommend booking this tour. Thank you so much, Gonzalo!!!!

      Amazing time with Gonçalo! Best tour guide during our two week trip.
      My wife and I are near the end of a two week trip to Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, and Lisbon. Today we did a half day private tour of Lisbon with Gonçalo and he was by far the best tour guide of our trip. The others were great too, but his personality and humor added a flare that we didn’t get with anyone else. It is one thing to be knowledgeable, obviously any tour guide is going to have historical knowledge. But his delivery is what made the trip so good. Having a nice car and stopping to get out and walk around also made the trip easier for us. With walking tours we have a cap of two hours but it was nice taking breaks in the car between locations and getting the history of the city along the way. Highly recommend this company and Gonçalo. Thank you!

    Gonçalo is very knowledgeable and professional, with great insight on all the locations we visited. Having no understanding of Portuguese, I found him easy to understand in English, and he gave clear explanations of local history and culture. I would highly recommend this guide to anyone looking to tour Portugal.

    Amazing trip. We booked this kind of on a whim and it turned out the be an amazing day! Chapel of bones, evora, and all the other sights had so much history. The best part was our tour guide Goncalo. He was incredibly knowledgeable, an amazing historian, and would not let anything go wrong.
