- Harda270 contributionsExcellent personalized Tik tour of LisbonExcellent Tuk tour by Pedro Murinello in the city of Lisbon. We saw many sights, made several stops and enjoyed his knowledge of the city. Pedro is multi-lingual but spoke English since most of us understood it. Pedro had an interesting history and cared for each one of the four of us, asking what we wanted to see. It was a wonderful day and I would request Pedro when you book your Tuk tour!Written 24 June 2024
- Nancy W0 contributionsTuk Tuk tour magicWe spent 4 1/2 hours on our Tuk Tuk tour with Romeu, our guide. It was the best way to spend our first day in Lisbon. We went all over the city, taking in site after site. Romeu was a font of knowledge on Lisbon & Portuguese history, art and poetry. He was extremely knowledgeable and gracious, and entertaining as well. I highly recommend this tour as a great orientation to Lisbon. We can now narrow down the places we want to invest more time in during our stay in this lovely city.Written 14 June 2024

- Rcunha20120 contributionsAmazing time In Lisbon. Thank you so much to Marta and Andre!We went to Lisbon from Canada for the Taylor Swift concert. 2 families, 2 adults and 2 tween/teens each. I found SPR tour months before our trip and started to communicate with Marta. First we asked for the Sintra trip. We did that one day. André and Marta were our guides. Both of them are so knowledge, fun and kind. They were so amazing! I also checked if they would be available to drive us back and forth from the concert, and OMG that was a life saver! André drove us to the concert the time that we had planed and the best of all, at the end he was there waiting for us. That made such a big difference on our experience, not to worry about a ride back to our hotel . On the next day, again Andre took us to the Algarve / Benagil caves. He knows the best tips and always advises what is worthy or not and the best spots to see. Thank you so much Marta and Andre, our time in Lisbon was so wonderful and you are hugely responsible for that! And if you are reading reviews trying to find a good tour guide, you can stop right now, rest assure, you have just found the best!Written 26 May 2024
- tropical_art0 contributionsRomeu is an exceptional guide!We were really impressed with this tour. I received early communication from the driver on the day of the tour. We arrived early at the meeting point, so we started the tour a little earlier. Romeu is extremely passionate in explaining the history and culture of Lisboa. Even with his high energy, he is an expert driver, and is able to navigate tight and crowded spaces in a safe way. We got to see all the neighborhoods from various vantage points. We also appreciate him taking photos of us as well. One of the more unique places he drove us through was the swap meet. That was a first! I really appreciated seeing a glimpse of that. He also gave us some free time at various stops to explore. Because it wasn't high tourist season, he extended the time of our tour which was a nice surprise. At the end, he asked us about lunch plans. He personally escorted us into a restaurant which we were interested in so that he could ensure that we were settled in. This is 5 star service. Muito obrigada!Written 25 May 2024

Let me start by saying that it takes a lot to balance being funny, informative, engaging, and authentic all while navigating the streets of Lisbon. Our guide, Alex, was exactly that! He really took time to show us every corner of the city he grew up in (Sintra) and had the best shortcuts, photo spots, and fun facts. This tour was completely worth the money for the sheer number of things we got to do and to see in such a short amount of time! We passed by other tourists waiting in huge lines that we were able to avoid via our guide’s expertise. If Alex was giving any other tours we would have signed up for tomorrow’s in a heartbeat! Be aware that there are additional costs of 22 € for entry tickets as well as an option lunch for around 25 € or the opportunity to spend some time at the beach. The group is small, always 8 or less and that allowed us to really bond both with Alex and with each other. Cannot recommend this tour enough!!

This tour was much more than great! Perfectly organized and executed! Our guide, Bart, was amazing, one of the best guides I have ever had in the countless tours I have been on! He was extremely knowledgeable, funny and engaging, giving us a lot of very interesting information not only about the sites we visited but also about Portugal and Lisbon, its people and their culture, making a very long tour a really enjoyable one! My personal favourite part of this tour was the part in the gardens of the Quinta da Regaleira palace/mansion, where Bart with all his knowledge and his great storytelling skills simply created magic! Each and everyone on this tour did their best and even more than that to make sure that we had an unforgettable experience! This tour was definitely the highlight of our visit to Portugal and I would highly recommend it to anyone who would like to visit these two very important sites in the country! Muito obrigada a todos!

Luis was a fantastic guide for our tour to Sintra and Pena. He is knowledgeable and funny and is proud of his country and its history. He drove us, and others, from Lisbon to Sintra and Pena…told us all about the drama , intrigue and history in the Sintra area, the Peña palace and Portugal. On our way back, he adjusted lunch plans and we had a delicious Portuguese meal, and then tweaked our timeline so we could see a breathtaking sunset in Cascais. Was a fantastic day and highly recommend!

What a great day of touring the sights out in the countryside surrounding Lisbon. Pedro, our guide for the day, was absolutely the best! He gave us a running background of sights along our route, historical landmarks, and the rich Portuguese history of each site we visited. The itinerary is perfect, with the majority of the walking in the morning, a great lunch at an authentic (off the beaten path) Portuguesa restaurant, and and afternoon drive visiting 3-4 sites along the stunning coastline. We highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to get out of the city for a day…Pedro will take excellent care of you!

A day before the tour, we received text messages from Martha informing on some tour details, pickup time & venue for the tour, which I thought was a thoughtful and good way to confirm our booking.
There were 4 of us, picked up by our tour guide Louis Silva at our hotel to start the day tour. The weather was forecasted to be a wet day and we were prompted by Louis to bring an umbrella each, and I am happy we did.
We visited all places as stated on the tour itinerary, plus a few more nice photo spots. The lunch recommended is great too.
Despite the day being cool and foggy, we enjoyed the dedicated tour led by Louis. He was cheerful, humourous, and shared so much of his knowledge of the tour.
I would highly recommend this small group tour, as it is more dedicated and easier to move around.

The tour is the best of all in our recent trip to Italy, Span and Portugal. In addition to the spectacular view of Sintra, Pena, Cabo da Roca and Cascais, the tour was well organized. and we got contact by the SPR Tours via WhatsApp for specifics related to pickup time and place. The tour driver/guide Xande (Alex) Gula was very professional and outstanding, making great efforts for us to visit places within limited time. He helped booking a very nice lunch of lical cuisine that everyone enjoyed. I highly recommend the quided tour to anyone who are interetest in the area.

If you want an amazing day in Portugal, book this tour. Alex was was an outstanding tour guide that led us on an adventurous day with great views, entertaining history, yummy food and loads of fun. It was really a perfect day. The kids enjoyed this tour as well and were comfortable with Alex from the beginning. Communication was excellent throughout and we felt we really got our monies worth with the sites and all the places visited in a full day. Highly recommend this tour over others because of the stops at the costal views and local food for lunch was really excellent. We didn't have to wait in long lines or slow bus rides, the smaller tour group was a great way to enjoy more stops and good conversation with the friends we met on the tour. One of the best tours I have ever been on.

Great day in Sintra that was action packed. Was able to go to the main two castles and the sea side areas all in one day.
Our tour guide Bartolomeu was was very knowledgeable and funny. He was able to add some interesting side excursions such as trying, drinking water from a fountain that helps you live to 100 years old. And trying a special pastry that had its origins in Sintra called Travesseiro, their famous pillow shaped pastry (the word literally means pillow).
The organized lunch was a fantastic value, and the best Portuguese meal that we had in Lisbon. Highly recommend getting the grilled snapper, which was a nice break from all the cod bass dishes in the city.
Overall, my wife and I really enjoyed our time on this tour and it was a good pace. However, if you want to spend more time at the castles or the sea, then we will probably recommend driving yourself or something as there’s just too much to see.
Thanks. And highly recommend.

The pick up was prompt and the vehicle was clean. Bart, our tour guide, was funny and insightful during our lengthy day together. He provided perspective on both the history of the sites we visited and the modern views and experiences of a local in Portugal.
The sites were all stunning and we felt there was sufficient time spent at each stop.
The included lunch was one of the best my wife and I have ever had on one of these day long tours. The food and wine were plentiful and the food was extremely delicious. This was not a tacky tourist trap restaurant, but a local place showcasing Portuguese hospitality and cuisine.
Overall my wife and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wishing to see the sites outside of Lisbon and if you’re lucky, you will also get Bart as your tour guide.

Will we be spending only 15 mins in Cascais ? What does the park and National Palace of Pena involve? Will we be seeing the garden at the national park
Written 1 February 2025
We were dropped off at one end of a walk around the beach area of Cascaias and walked to the other to meet the bus again. It was a very busy area so we just got a feel for it. You will walk through the garden at the Peña palace and then left to make your way around the palace on your own. We didn’t actually go in as there are no rooms open and it was a crowded walk around. Mainly it’s to see the views from the palace, so of course the flow was slowed down by many people taking selfies :) the highlight, for me at least, was the Quinta da Regaleira.
