TLDR: Armando is terrific and professional and our wine tour was wonderful…read more My wife and I, both in our 30s, had a marvelous time with Armando, who drove us around all day in a Mercedes like royalty. Before we departed he bought us espressos that we drank together at the counter like locals. We visited two beautiful vineyards/wineries with tastings of a nice variety of red and white (and one "green"!) wines. Our guides were knowledgeable and friendly. We also stopped into Óbidos for a little stroll and lunch. He bought us some traditional chorizo bread on a little whim. Lunch had a nice atmosphere and good service, but the prices were drastically higher than other places we ate on our trip, and the food was a bit plain. This was only a small blemish on an otherwise outstanding day. We would gladly rebook something with Armando on a return visit!

We had an opportunity to experience Wine tours, restaurants and sites of Portugal we would have never been able to enjoy in the same manner as if we had been on our own. Not only is Armando an excellent tour guide and driver, but more than that he created an experience of the Portuguese people and culture that was up close and personal that we all thoroughly enjoyed. He came highly recommended to us and I agree 110% his services made our visit of Portugal all the more wonderful. Muito obrigada Armando

Started the holiday in Lisbon with a great guided bike tour by Filipe de Palma…read more Lisbon with its hills is not the ideal town for cycling but the tour starts on the top of the hill in Parque Eduardo and goes mainly downhill till reaching the Douro. From there it is along the river untill reaching Belem. So easy downhill ! :) The bikes that Filipe provides are in good shape and suited for the trip. The 3 1/2 tour showed the heart of historical Lisbon, Praça Marquês do Pombal, Restauradores, Rossio, Praça da Figueira, Praça do Comércio and the Docas Area. After the Docas it is onto Belem where the tour ends. After that there went on to discover Belem and visited LX Factory area.

Inside the discreet store front, lies one of the most amazing Portuguese wine collections in the city, where you can sample over 40 types straight from the refillable card operated wine vending machines installed in Mundo's two large but cozy rooms - a perfect place to try a lot of incredible wines. Get your card, top it up and get ready to indulge in an extensive selection of wines that includes some of the country's finest, and some from beyond its borders. The novelty of the machines alone makes for a great Instagram post, but it's Mundo's ambiance, the super friendly staff, and its carefully curated wine selection, that makes this a must while in the city. In between sips, have a go at their great selection of cheeses, and for unique and fun time with a small group of friends, book a wine tasting and get your very own sommelier to tell you about Portugal, its wine regions and rich history. I highly recommend the Port wine experience. When in Lisbon, take a break from the city's crowded tourist spots and stroll down to 'world of wine', you'll be glad you did.

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.

After spending the better part of the day with him, we had a dramatically better understanding of the Jewish people's contributions to Portuguese (and Spanish) society over the past 700 years, as well as what life has been like for Jews living on the Iberian Peninsula from the 15th Century through the present. 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'd already been to Cascais the day before so we just stopped for a bite & went on to the other sites. Luis was great and gave us plenty of time at each stop. When we got back we realized the only thing we would've done differently was stop & see the Freemason site. The cost of entry at each attraction wasn't included, neither was lunch, but it was a great deal for €12.50. When we got to the Pena Palace there was a huge line, which Luis had us skip by collecting our money & returning immediately with our tickets. Highly recommended!!
