Frequently asked questions

Are these tours private?

Yes. Every tour is for your group only, with its own vehicle and driver-guide. There are no fixed group schedules, and you can change the pace and the stops on the day.

Who leads the tours?

You travel with Rui Catalão, our certified guide-interpreter, or with one of our experienced driver-guides. We cannot say in advance which driver-guide will lead a given tour, because Rui assigns them closer to the date.

Where do the tours start?

Most tours start at your hotel or address in Lisbon. If you are staying elsewhere, write to us and we will tell you what is possible.

How do I book a tour?

Open the tour you like, choose a date in the calendar and send your request. If you want something that is not listed, write to us with your dates, group size and interests and we will suggest an itinerary.

Can you plan a tour that is not on the list?

Yes. Many guests ask us to combine places or change the length of a day. Tell us what you would like to see and we will plan it around you.
