My wife and I feel very fortunate to have booked 2 tours with “Portuguese For A Day”.
We enjoyed our first trip with co-owner Andre and the Sintra + trip had the same high quality level. We started the day with an 8:10 AM pick-up. This early starting time got us to the Pena Palace just before it opened. The Palace was empty and we had no problem taking photos with crowds of tourists around. By the time we were leaving, lines were long and getting longer. It was such a pleasure to have the access to this amazing place that we did. The tour was filled with interesting information, useful observations and a genuine friendliness among the 5 other people. Andre is not a lock-step guide but uses planning and his insights to give you the chance to chart your own path of discovery.(…)

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.
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.
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.
