The Sintra Tour was amazing. Filipa was our tour guide for the 1-day excursion and she was wonderful. The entire day trip was planned extremely well. She was very knowledgeable and very friendly. She made us feel very welcomed and her knowledge of the area and the points of interest is unremarkable. It was one of the best one-day excursions we’ve ever taken in all our years of travelling!

Portuguese for a day was the best tour company! Our guide was excellent! He gave us so much insight
into the Portuguese history and culture and planned the whole day for a fabulous experience. Highly
recommend.
I think going on this road trip was the best thing during my 3 day trip to Lisbon.
Sintra is a hidden treasure that is best to do with a company as it can be complicated to go on your own. We had fun with Andre and communicating about culture, tourism, art, and most importantly our love to travel. Sintra is very colorful and has so many things to do. I was happy with my choice and If I go to Lisbon again, I would definitely pick this company for another day trip in Portugal.
Amazing private tour with Joao! He was really knowledgeable, helpful and patient and gave us plenty of time at each stop and offered lots of valuable information about Portugal and the places we visited. Read more.
Best tour of our trip so far! During this unprecedented time, Portuguese for a Day tours remain open during the COVID crisis. They adhere to the highest safety protocols by following the Clean & Safe commitment. Masks were required to be worn at all times, and we were given a “COVID prevention gift bag” at the start of the tour (…) The tour itself exceeded expectations! André was friendly, knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience. (…) Andre and Portuguese for a Day provided a memorable and enjoyable tour without compromising our safety. I highly recommend this tour and company for anyone wanting to explore Portugal (both during and after COVID!)
We went on this tour on our first full day in Lisbon and it was absolutely the best thing we did the whole holiday! The horse riding was incredible, the ranch is home to not only horses but a number of other beautiful animals. I cannot recommend this tour enough, it’s a fantastic way to see parts of Lisbon that are off the beaten track.

I mean… who can keep up with it right now? 😵💫

The Pink Street is brighter than ever 🥳 🌈
Did you know that the official name of this street is “Rua Nova do Carvalho”?
Once it was the meeting point for sailors and it had a bad reputation 😧 But, in 2011, it started seeing a makeover.
In time, brothels and bars were replaced with new restaurants, cafes & hotels, and of course, the pink bubblegum road painting gave it a whole new twist!
On some nights, we can’t even see the floor because everyone is out having fun! 🤩 🍻
