Testimonials
“Enthusiastic recommendation for JohnfromPortugal’s tours which not only educate but bring fun and zest too. We learned so much and had so much fun that I brought a second group to hear him – and enjoyed it just as much as our first outing. Be sure to mention you would like to stop at his insider local shops, artisan friends and food places.”

“João put together an incredible and very personalized two day tour for my wife and I through Lisbon and Sintra. He perfectly catered to our love of history, food, and wine by sharing so much of his knowledge and taking us to all the right places. We really felt like we got to experience this magnificent city from a local’s perspective and are sure the trip wouldn’t have been the same if we had done this alone. I could not recommend his guide services enough. Thank you!”

Excited about his new business venture, João crafted a second fantastic half-day walking tour for my mother and me. I highly recommend exploring Portugal with him for a unique adventure and, possibly, a new friend!”
