It was super easy to use the car and the gps really directs and tells you about everything you need to know.

Luis also stays connected with you through your the whole ride via what's app. He even sent us restaurant recs and asked if we wanted resos booked! How sweet! Their team is so knowledgeable and personable. The whole experience was fantastic. If you're in the area or how to the area. I definitely recommend using their company.

If you're considering booking with LAS Tours, stop thinking and start doing…read more While staying in Lisbon, my in-laws and I wanted to take advantage of our Lisboa Cards and take the train to Sintra for a day trip. It was a rather spontaneous decision over late dinner, so at 11:30 PM or so, I start looking into options and came across LAS Tours. I tried to book tickets through their site, and got an automatic response that I will hear back on my requested booking soon. I was hoping to rent three twizy vehicles to explore Sintra in. Since it was late, and I was not expecting to hear back, I found their tours listed on TripAdvisor, and booked one of the three twizy vehicles we'd need for our group. Before I could book the second, I got a response from Luis at 11:59 pm. Yes you read that correctly, at midnight! He helped me cancel the one vehicle I had booked on TripAdvisor, so I could book directly with LAS Tours as I initially intended, which happened to be at a better price than what's listed on TripAdvisor. We emailed back and forth until about 12:45am to go over all the details. Next morning, I arrived in Sintra, and there is Luis! Does this guy sleep? Sonia got us all squared away. She helped create a route for us based on what we wanted to see, gave us restaurant recommendations, and accommodated us in every way possible. Luis then went over how to drive the vehicle, which is incredibly straight forward and easy. The twizy is a breeze to operate and drive. It can fit into small parking spots which is great when you are visiting sites that draw a lot of tourists. The guided audio provides information as you follow your route, and the directions they provide are very easy to follow. But rest assured that if you go off course or get lost, you'll get a call from Sonia or Luis to help get you back on track since they're able to monitor the vehicle's movements. You can lock up the vehicle, get in and out, and spend as little or as much time at each stop. It's truly incredibly easy and smooth. Also, you can purchase tickets directly from LAS Tours for many of the attractions. It saved us a bunch of time at Peña Palace in particular, as we were able to walk right in with the tickets provided, instead of waiting in the very long line to purchase them prior to entry. Everyone in our group had a great time and agreed it was one of the best ways to get around and see Sintra as a tourist. There is no way we'd be able to cover so much ground and see so many sites without a vehicle, and the twizy was the way to go. It's particularly great on some of the narrow roads, as it's so compact. The butterfly doors also mean that you don't have to worry about someone taking out your door when getting in or out, and you can fit into narrower spaces since you don't have to account for door clearance. I really can't stress enough how accommodating LAS Tours was. It's truly one of the best customer service experiences I've had in my life. They really care about making your adventure as enjoyable as possible and take pride in what they do. The little touches, like taking offering to take photos, providing you with a blanket (it was a chilly morning), and checking in with you are so amazing. I can't say enough good things about them! I LOVED Sintra, more so than Lisbon and Albufeira, even though I really did enjoy all my time in Portugal. LAS Tours made that possible. I will be back, and hope to have another twizy adventure in the not-so-distant future!

We recently spent 8 days in Portugal. Jorge picked us up at the airport and immediately made us…read morefeel at home. Jorge is extremely knowledgeable about the history and the treasures that make Portugal such an incredible destination. We started by booking 2 days, but ended up spending 4 perfect days in Jorge's care. He planned each of our days with such care and artistry. Jorge showed us highlights of Lisbon, booked us a magical sunset sail, brought us to Sintra, Evora and Lagos. He made us reservations in incredible restaurants, where we were always given the best tables due to his relationships with the owners. He also booked us a private wine tasting/tour and brought us to the medieval city of Monsanto. Every experience he planned for us was amazing! Jorge anticipates everything you need. He took care of all our bookings and tickets. No detail was left to chance. His sense of humor and charm made every excursion special. Spending time in Jorge's care was a wonderful experience for our family of 6. He was incredibly kind and patient with us, even though we were often late and had a medical issue that sidelined us for an afternoon. In addition to being an amazing tour guide, Jorge is a wonderful travel companion. He made our experience one that we will always cherish. We are very thankful to have been in his hands for our vacation. I wholeheartedly recommend booking time with Jorge for your visit to Portugal.

Interesting Cram Course In Lisbon's Jewish History…read more... With 3 full days to explore Lisbon, we started with a 3 1/2 hour tour on the first afternoon focusing on the Jewish history of the city. Here are the pros and cons: Pros: - We met our guide, Daniel, in the Principe Real section of Lisbon and walked a couple miles toward the Baixa and Chiado neighborhoods. He was more knowledgeable than an encyclopedia...as personable as an entertainer and tied lots of historical loose ends together. - Daniel included many of his own personal views which, depending on your outlook, could add or subtract from the experience. For us, it cut both ways. - All in all, a comprehensive and, at times, intense yet enjoyable 3 1/2 hour walking tour with insight into the Jewish past of Lisbon and Europe at large. - Price seemed reasonable.....100 Euros per person. Cons: - As noted above, Daniel included many of his own personal views which, depending on your outlook, could add or subtract from the experience. For us, it cut both ways. - There was quite a bit of walking up and down hills on cobblestone streets, but it's Lisbon, of course...so that's something to keep in mind. We'd recommend this tour, but first see if the primary guide, Paulo, is available.

Paolo went above and beyond what we expected, and was also delightful to spend time with. We ended our time with him feeling as though we had spent the day with a great teacher and a friend.

We couldn't have asked for a better personal guide than Ricardo! Upon hearing of our sightseeing plans for the day, he suggested a side trip to the beach towns of Estoril and Cascais before heading up the mountains to Sintra. He was so informative and engaging, and a great conversationalist, making my girlfriend and me feel quite at ease. It was a great decision; we were treated to a very personalized tour of three towns, complete with multiple photo ops and food/drink places to try. We spent the entire day tooling around in an awesome Beetle, with a friendly and warm guide, and felt like every Euro was deserved. I can safely say we'd use Lisbon By Beetle again, whenever we come back to visit Lisbon!

I can't recommend Cristina and Lisbon & Beyond enough! We booked her for a private all day tour…read more(for a very fair price) and soon learned why she's one of the city's top guides. She's been in the business for more than 30 years and knows her city inside and out. I feel like we got a really thorough overview of the city, but more importantly Cristina is great at drawing together information about history and culture in an engaging way, so you really get a full picture of Lisbon and not just "oh, here's this old church". She's funny, friendly and will customize an agenda if you have specific interests. Don't believe me? Watch the Rick Steves Lisbon episode where she's the featured guide. She's awesome and we're so glad we got to spend the day with her!
