Carla was our guide for 2 days when we visited Lisbon in the Fall (I owe her this review, as the tour she provided us was the highlight of our Portugal visit!). She's an awesome tour guide: knowledgeable, flexible, patient, easy-going, care taking, and best of all, she "gets you" and your group's travel style. She is very responsive with communication and it was easy to plan everything in advance from the States. I really loved that although she has great pre-built itineraries, you can customize them to fit your interests! One day she took us through the Belem district in Lisbon (Jeronimos Monastery is a must-see!), followed by a visit to Sintra (I could have easily spent an entire day here, with Pena Palace and its surrounding lush park, plus the charming town center), and the second day we did the "Tiles, Wine & Sceneries" tour (which I highly recommend!). On the Tiles/Wine tour she drove us through an area south of Lisbon, and we fell in love with all the places we visited (Palmela castle, Sesimbra, Setubal, Azeitao and Arrabida natural park). Her luxury vehicle was very comfortable for our group of 4 people. Her recommendations on restaurants were spot on! I fell in love with Portugal in general, and already am looking to go back soon to visit new regions, hopefully with Carla!! read more
