Private Lisbon Highlights Tour With A Local Guide

Awesome half day tour with David. He's knowledgeable, friendly, efficient and a great driver! Highly recommend doing this tour. Super easy and fun way to bridge the time between disembarking a ship and checking into a hotel.

David Monteiro was our tour guide when we were in Lisbon, Portugal. We found David to be very personable and knowledgeable. He observed that some of the people in our party of 6 had trouble walking up hills, and he quickly and effortlessly altered our tour to meet our needs. David is a very enthusiastic tour guide, who loves showing off his beautiful country. If we ever have the opportunity to return to Portugal, we would not hesitate to book any and all of our tours with David.

David is a professional, local tour guide with vast knowledge and experience. He made sure we saw the best of Lisbon, including the best food spots. He's very personable and engaging. Highly recommend his tour!

David was wonderful. Caring knowledgeable and fun. Couldn’t recommend more. Enjoy!

If you are wondering if you should book this tour, the answer is absolutely, yes! Pedro was excellent.

It was an exceptional experience! David, our tour guide and driver, was great!! He treated us like family, he was very helpful, kind and went out of his way to make us feel safe and happy. We had a very clean van everyday and his driving is very safe. I am looking forward to work with him again in the near future!! Great guy!

David Monteiro was excellent. He was very personable and very keen to the needs of his clients. He went above and beyond his scope of responsibilities. He made sure that we don’t waste time while touring, bought our snacks and sardines for us. He’s very good in communication and always made sure that we are comfortable!

We really enjoyed our tour of Lisbon. Our guide, David, did a great job of showing us the highlights of Lisbon and providing detailed information along the way! He made sure we experienced the specific things we wanted to do and to try. Highly recommend!

Wonderful, informative, personalized tour of Lisboa. Our guide was very thorough, well informed and fun ! We appreciated his perspective and experience as one who has grown up in this area. Highly recommend!!

David is the absolute best guide I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with. I joined one of David's tours with a friend earlier in the week and I immediately booked a second tour with him. He is a wealth of knowledge, very personable, and he is really interested in showing you the best and most beautiful that Portugal has to offer. I felt so at home with his tour of Lisbon. I look forward to taking another tour with him next year. Thank you, David!

David did an amazing job with our large group of 9 people! He curated the perfect tour for our group ages ranging from 7- 80 years old!

David was a fantastic guide who made our half day tour as interesting and memorable as possible. The depth of his knowledge as well as his passion for sharing his beautiful city with visitors made the whole experience special for us. We asked for a “highlights of Lisbon” tour and he crammed as much as possible in for us. I would recommend this tour which can be customized to suit the customers.

An extremely excellent tour with David. We had him for 2 tours and both were phenomenal. He’s incredibly educated, able to teach, and conversational. He’s attuned to the needs of everyone and able to accommodate. 5/5 stars

David was excellent! His English was flawless with barely an accent despite being a Portuguese native. He blended sight-seeing with historical information to make it a very thorough tour of the city. We had brought a long list of recommended sites to see and he hit them all!

Daniel was our tour operator. He picked us up and dropped us off at the cruise terminal in plenty of time. Daniel was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and friendly. I was in a mobility scooter and he made me very comfortable! Daniel took us all around Lisbon with a great deal of knowledge about the city, buildings, architecture, and cathedral. He took pictures of us as well. I highly recommend this private excursion and felt it a good value for the money.

5 stars!! Our 1/2 day private tour of Sintra was conveniently pushed back to a 11:00 pick up due to weather. It was much appreciated and the afternoon turned out to be sunny & beautiful! Thus, the convenience of using a knowledgeable tour guide that makes customizations based on your interests along with weather is a game changer! David reversed the order of our tour, which made the sights magnificent for the Pena Palace! He went above and.beyond to make our experience in Lisbon amazing and allowed us to maximize our short time there! It was an awesome experience filled with lifetime memories, education on lovely Portugal with plenty of laughter! Cheers to David..we miss him already! We will highly recommend him to our family and friends and will definitely book with him again when we go back to Portugal!

David was awesome! Great tour to Sintra and Cascais amongst other sights. David really knows the area, is a joy to be with, and is very funny and witty! Highly recommend booking with him!

David Monteiro (What To Do In Portugal travel guide agency) is an exceptional guide. We went on a 5 hr guided tour of Lisbon with him. He is a native, has 12 years of experience, studied to become a certified travel guide and it shows. After making the reservation David contacted me several times including the day before the tour to confirm the arrangements. He provided a very personal tour taking us to several sights we weren’t aware of that gave us a much richer experience of Lisbon. And he didn’t just drive us around. Whenever we left the car to walk he accompanied us and continued to share his insights. He was very knowledgeable about both the history and the current culture of Lisbon and Portugal. He is energetic, personable, and was solicitous and accommodating of all our interests and needs; very customer focused. He is exactly the kind of guide we were hoping for.

Our tour guide, David, could not have been better. He spoke excellent English and became instant friends with everyone in our group. He made good use of our available time and took us to all of the highlights in this beautiful city. David was very knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful introduction to Portugal. He exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely use him again.

Nuno went above and beyond and we had a great half day in Lisbon. He gave us tips of what to do on our own and taught us a ton about the city.

David instantly reached out to us upon booking making us feel instantly that he was very detailed with our tour and making it special. David is very easy to talk to and he was a very safe driver. We were very comfortable the entire time with him. If you have limited time in Lisbon, hire David to show you the highlights of Lisbon! You won’t regret.

Rui was an excellent guide, letting us do more of a panoramic tour and not pushing us to go out and walk a lot as we were tired from an all-day trip to Fatima the day before. The highlight was he went out of his way to buy us Portuguese favorite custard pies.. They were delicious!

We arrived in Portugal in the morning and had booked our Lisbon Half Day Tour with David Monteiro. On our way to the airport to catch our flight to Lisbon we had a message from David that he had been in the ER all night, he was doing better but could not take us on our tour. Which we totally understood. What we didn't expect was for David to make arrangements for Pedro, another tour guide to take us on the tour. We were completely blown away that he would do this while he was in the ER!! This gesture makes David the Tour Guide EXTRODINAIRE!! Not only did he have Pedro take us, David went over the itinerary we had planned with Pedro. I was very impressed that Pedro knew exactly where to take us and what we wanted to do, thanks to David. Pedro did a Great job filling in for David. Pedro was very friendly and professional. We got to see all the highlights of Lisbon. My favorite being the Time Out Market. I HIGHLY recommend booking with David!! Even if he is in the ER he will take care of you! Do I need to say anything more??
