We really enjoyed our Sinta tour with our guide André! He had us first in line and helped us avoid crowds when visiting the Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira. He is a local and is very knowledgeable and informative about the history of each place we visited. (…)
Swap Tourist Trails for Authentic Portugal
Here at Portuguese For a Day, we aim to show visitors to some of our favorite family-owned shops, fresh-baked pastries, remarkable monuments, and more! Not to mention the background culture and rich history of each place we visit.
From the Belém Tower to Alfama, passing through downtown Lisbon, stopping for the best custard tart or a sip of the famous cherry liquor, a walking tour is a great option to spend time with a local guide and know the authentic feel of Lisbon.
Let’s be tourists! Let’s be locals! Let’s have fun!

Our tour guide, Filipa at ‘Portuguese for a day’, was exceptional. Not only was she very knowledgeable, but she catered the tour to our interest and kept us engaged the entire time. She knew how to get us the right experience. She kept us at a perfect schedule. She knew exactly the right times to arrive at every location. Through the tour she baked in time for us to explore on our. She is extremely experienced and clearly knows all the people and has the right access and information and she made us feel very comfortable.
This was an amazing tour with excellent recommendations! Seeing the Regaleira and the pena palace with limited people in them due to the times we went was absolutely amazing. Plus the tickets being included made this so much easier. I highly highly recommend this company.
We had a fabulous day made all the more special by the care & attention given by Filipa to make our excursion so memorable! I have already recommended this tour to others! Book it you will have a fabulous day!!
My daughter and I had a great tour with Andre at Portuguese for a Day. Andre was well-informed, punctual, and professional. He got us into all the sites ahead of the crowds and made great recommendations for the rest of our stay. In fact, he helped us secure “hard-to-get” dinner reservations at his favorite fado restaurant for TONIGHT! We are so excited! Thank you, Andre!
Absolutely amazing tour and a wonderful experience overall! Andre was so personable, incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. He made our first trip to Portugal unforgettable. Will definitely recommend his company to all of our friends planning Lisbon vacations.
After sightseeing on our own for a week, this tour made me realize how invaluable a guide can be. Filipa made everything so easy, stress free, and fun. We did two tours in two days and by the end, she was part of our family. She thought of every detail and even accommodated my aging parents. You will not regret booking a tour with them!!
We are having tea with our pastries and reliving the happy memories of today. We really, really enjoyed meeting you and appreciated all that you shared. We are also very happy you suggested early admission to Pena Palace. It was so worth it! We also loved Regaleira! Both places are a photographer’s paradise. Thank you for being so warm, welcoming and patient. Will definitely recommend you and the tour to others.
Filipa was our guide and she was nothing short of phenomenal. Tour was excellent and she pointed us towards excellent food spots multiple times. Probably the best tour of our two week vacation. Also a great way to see multiple spots near Lisbon in a single day.
This was an excellent escape for a day outside of the city. We got to see how the locals live and saw some of the most stunning mountains and beaches on our stops. Our guide Andre was interesting and shared so much information with us, treating us like we were lifelong friends. Be sure to eat some seafood for lunch in Setubal.
