Nelson was an absolutely fantastic driver and guide for our journey from Porto to Lisbon. Along the way, he took us to Aveiro, Nazaré, Fátima, and Óbidos, making the journey itself a highlight of our trip. Nelson struck the perfect balance between sharing his wonderful knowledge of Portugal’s history and culture and giving us the freedom to explore each destination at our own pace. He was informative, engaging, professional, and genuinely thoughtful throughout the entire day. His insights brought each place to life, and his flexibility allowed us to enjoy the sights without ever feeling rushed. The drive was comfortable, seamless, and thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Nelson went above and beyond to make our journey memorable, and we would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a first-class way to discover Portugal. Thank you, Nelson, for making the journey from Porto to Lisbon every bit as memorable as the destinations themselves!

We enjoyed our time with Vasco on our drive to Lisbon. He knew the best places to stop in Aveiro and Obidos! Very personable and knowledgeable!!
Highly recommend this tour, especially with Rui! There could not be a better way to travel between Lisbon and Porto. This was by far the best day of our entire trip. Our amazing guide, Rui, is intimately familiar with Portugal and provided so much helpful history and background that enriched our visits. Rui drove us from Portugal to Aveiro, where he helped us take a canal ride while he picked up a special local treat (ovos moles) for us to enjoy upon our return. We then went to Fatima, and he made sure we got to all of the stops we wanted including the homes of the three children. We also visited a very authentic cafe where we surrounded by true locals. Finally, we stopped in Óbidos and went to two amazing places to try ginja, a cherry liquor, and walked the medieval streets of the city. We ended in Lisbon, and Rui drove us through the city, explaining various areas and providing recommendations. We had so much fun and my family agreed it was the highlight of our entire trip. Rui is kind, generous, funny, and authentic, and he is an excellent guide. I booked the trip with 3 stops, which was designed to total around 9 hours. The tour company was flexible as to which stops we ultimately made, and whether we did all 3 or just did 2 with longer stops—you don’t need an exact plan when you book. We brainstormed our itinerary with Rui before settling on the specific cities, and we are so glad we took his recommendations, because they made all the difference! Thank you, Rui and Wonder Tours!
Tiago our driver was great! We picked 4 places to stop from Porto to Lisbon. He gave us a few pointers along the way. He's not a tour guide if that is what you are looking for. Everyone in our group enjoyed the drive and the views along the way!
Great day of site seeing with our wonderful guide and driver Vasco. He took us to many beautiful areas. Told us about each place. Was very friendly and helpful.
This drive was a fabulous way to experience dramatic and beautiful sites between Porto and Lisbon. Mario was beyond amazing. Articulate, informative, and entertaining. Could not ask for more!
Vasco was friendly and knowledgeable. He went above and meeting the needs of our group. He took us to great shops and restaurants. We saw beautiful scenery and beaches. He answered all of our questions about the area, people, and traditions.
Our Driver Vasco went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. He took us to some of the out of the way places to give us the best experience. Nazare was my favorite.
Great way to travel from Porto to Lisbon. Private car,. Luis was an excellent driver, and tour guide. We were spending several days in Porto and then we’re coming to Lisbon to catch our cruise boat. Highly recommend this company and guide.
Tiago was a great guy who drove very well and got us safely to Lisbon. We stopped at 4 towns along the way which were lovely to see - the time spent in each was a bit rushed but we got a feel for each place. Would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to get from Porto to Lisbon.
We had an excellent relaxing trip from Porto to Lisbon. Enjoyed 3 stops along the way. Perfect way to see more of Portugal! Our driver Mario was enjpyable and very professional.
We had an amazing trip with a great tour guide learned a lot about the different areas and absolutely loved our time on the Douro River Averio Fátima and Nazaré What an amazing 2 days
We travelled with Mario on our journey from Porto to Lisbon, he was fantastic. We spoke about life, history, culture, politics and all the things under the skin and cannot recommend him enough if you planning to take this journey
The sleepy famous beach town of Nazare was our favorite stop on our ride to Lisbon. On our way we rode in a gondola, ate the best Portuguese lunch, and visited many beautiful historic sites. Mario was great. Pick us up and dropped us off no issues😁 highly recommend Mario!
Rui was an excellent guide and a driver. He picked us up promptly, took us to the best spots in Aveiro Nazare and Obidos. Made reservations at the best restaurant in Nazare with wonderful views, took us to a working shop which preserved the interior decor, tools, ambience from 1800's. We saw such old wine bottles that were beautifully preserved like they were meant to. We had a very engaging conversation through out the journey. My only regret was that I did not know about the tour company earlier, else would have booked more tours from them.
Rui was an amazing tour guide. He was knowledgeable about the towns we visited. He was on time and the car was clean and immaculate. We will surely recommend him to anyone visiting Portugal.
Wonderful way to see other beautiful cities from Porto to Lisbon without the hassle of driving ourselves. Avierio/Costa Nova amd Obidos just as magical as Porto. Mario our driver was knowledgeable as he taught us a bit of history along the way. Highly recommend
Vasco was our driver and what a great experience. He drove us from Porto to Lisbon. He went the extra mile, showed us the ins and outs of our stops we picked along the way. Very personable, highly recommend!
Nuno Silva Turned Our Transfer into One of the Best Days of Our Trip! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our transfer from Porto to Lisbon, with stops in Tomar and Nazaré, was far more than just transportation—it ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip, thanks to Nuno Silva. Nuno was absolutely awesome from start to finish. Friendly, professional, easygoing, and genuinely invested in making sure we had an incredible experience, he made us feel like we were exploring Portugal with a knowledgeable local friend. He happily accommodated our requests along the way, even making an extra stop at a gas station so we could use the restroom, grab coffee, and pick up a few bottles of Portuguese wine. It may seem like a small gesture, but it perfectly reflected his willingness to go the extra mile to make our day comfortable and enjoyable. His recommendation for lunch in Nazaré was, without question, the best seafood meal we’ve ever had in our lives. Thanks to Nuno, we were seated at the most incredible table in the restaurant, overlooking the breathtaking coastline of Nazaré. Between the unforgettable food and the spectacular view, it became one of our favorite memories from Portugal. Nuno also knew every hidden viewpoint and the best photo spots, taking us to places we never would have found on our own. We came home with stunning pictures and unforgettable memories because of his local knowledge. What impressed us most was how much pride he clearly takes in his work. He wasn’t simply driving us from one city to another—he was making sure we experienced the very best Portugal has to offer. If you’re fortunate enough to have Nuno Silva as your driver, you’re in for an exceptional experience. He exceeded every expectation, and we can’t thank him enough for making our journey so memorable. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone visiting Portugal!
Booked this trip because I needed to get from Porto to Lisbon with a large group(16) and wanted to see some towns (Coimbra and Obidos) on the way. I expected someone to just drive us, what we got was the best tour guides EVER! Nuno Silva and Vasco Silva were amazing. They made reservations for us to an authentic Portuguese restaurant, during the drive they were great conversations. They even had us taste test true Ginjha from a fifth generation maker. I can’t say enough about them. Was way more then any of us expected!!!!
The guide was very knowledgeable. He took us to four places that were beautiful. We enjoyed all the stops it was a great experience.
Rui did an amazing job!! He helped us with our bags, helped us in Aveiro and gave us information, as well as gave us great information on our journey. He also helped us bring our bags to the next airbnb! Totally recommend Rui!
We did the 4 stop trip including Coimbra, Tomar, Nazare and Obidos and are very glad we did. Mario was very knowledgeable about each place and while he wasn’t a guide he suggested things to do and places to see at each stop. He was very amiable and knew a lot of history as well as current events. We felt like he was a good friend by the end of the trip. Highly recommended.
This was an excellent experience!! Our driver David was the best. He was very helpful and went the extra mile to help us into our AirBnb. The stops at Aveiro and Nazare were beautiful. A great way to get from Porto to Lisbon.
We Booker Porto to Lisboa with 2 stops , in Nazare and Óbidos. Mario was always punctual to the minute, provided the Information for the visit and delivered ist to the best starting Point of our Exkursion.
Tiago what an excellent driver. Picked us up at our hotel on time, he was very friendly and courteous. He shared a lot of information in history as well as tips and insights about Portugal. He gave us a great recommendation for dinner that night in Lisbon, which was our last night and we had a wonderful evening. It was a pleasure to spend time with him during our drive from Porto to Lisbon.
Mario was right in time to pick us up at the port. The car was very comfortable and his driving was great. He gave us some history highlights and gave us the best spots to stop at in each ctown we visited. Lunch in Nazaré was a very typical restaurant with authentic food. He gave us plenty of time and flexibility for each visit. Definitely recommend Mario and the tour agency. Safe trip.
Luis did a great job taking us from Porto to Lisbon. He was very knowledgeable about the cities and countryside. He made great recommendations for stops. I would recommend this tour without reservation.
We cannot say enough good things about this tour. It was the highlight of our trip to Portugal. Our tour guide Vasco was utterly amazing. He was so knowledgeable about the area. He showed us beautiful places and told us the history and stories behind them. He put a personal touch on every place we visited. We felt like we were traveling with a close friend or relative. With him we felt like we were seeing Portugal like a local. Not just the tourist spots. He took us to a small local restaurant where we ate a wonderful meal that we could never eat anywhere else. The places we visited were beautiful but the day was exponentially better with Vasco as our guide.
The trip was spectacular. We stopped in Fatima and Nazare. Vasco, our guide, was the best. He was friendly and informative.
Thank you Wonders Tours, what a great trip from Porto to Lisbon - with some great stops, especially Nazare for our New Zealand surfing culture family. Mario was just awesome, really personable, friendly, interesting and a great English speaker. Delivered us safely to our Lisbon accommodation and all in all, a great day. Thanks Mario. Grant, Fiona and Dan
We had a wonderful drive with Mario from Porto to Lisbon, with stops in Aveiro, Coímbra and Óbidos. It was a great experience for our 83 year old father, who wanted to see these sights but needed to stop frequently. Mario had thoughtful suggestions to make everything as comfortable as possible for our father. He was kind and patient, and adapted quickly when we had to shorten our time in a city, or go to a rest stop. His car was very comfortable and perfectly clean. We would happily book again. Thank you Mario!
Vasco was an exceptional guide — knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely fun to be around. Our group was multi-generational, ranging from age 5 to 75, and he effortlessly connected with every single one of us. He answered countless questions with patience and enthusiasm, weaved in jokes that had us all laughing, and brought Portugal to life in a way that went far beyond the typical tour experience. We left with a much deeper appreciation and understanding of the country. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful experience on our private transfer from Porto to Lisbon. Our driver Mario was on time, very professional and knowledgeable. We made stops at Coimbra, Fatima, and Tomar. Very enjoyable and memorable trip. Portugal is a beautiful country. People in general are helpful and kind! Definitely recommended!
Our driver Vasco was wonderful and we had a great time! The restaurants he recommended were great and he was very knowledgeable about the two cities we visited, Aveiro and Nazare. We will definitely book and request Vasco when we return to Portugal!
We booked a Porto to Lisbon one way transfer with 3 stops during our visit to Portugal in March 2026 and it was perfection from the time of booking to the drop off at the destination. We were concerned about the impact of the damaging storms on our plans to do some sightseeing enroute by car from Porto to Lisbon and reached out to Wonder Tours to inquire. Patricia promptly responded back saying the affected areas had been cleared and that we would have no problems. She also provided relevant information about the optional halts so we could finalize the itinerary. With clear communication, we knew what to expect. We were notified that Phillipe would be driving us from Porto to Lisbon. Phillips arrived a bit earlier than the appointed time and made sure that we would not be rushed. The car was a comfortable Mercedes with enough room for us and our luggage. Once we were on the road, Phillipe acquainted us with the highlights of our selected stops. He also provided great commentary on the history and context of things that we would see. We were allowed plenty of time to explore at each of the stops and Phillipe even recommended a seafood restaurant for lunch at Nazare. After a comfortable lunch and walk on the beach at Nazare , Phillipe took us to get a view from the top of the cliffs at Nazare. It was a very pleasant and comfortable way to travel and get some sightseeing done while also learning quite a few things about Portugal. After the 3rd stop we had a wonderful drive to our destination hotel in Lisbon arriving at around 5:30 pm. Really enjoyed the experience
Great way to sightsee traveling from city to city. Personal tour guide experience. Our Guide was timely, knowledgeable and our car was comfortable.
We had a fantastic time with Mario! He was a great driver and shared many valuable tips and insights about Portugal, past and present. When our planned second stop didn’t work (no power in Tomar due to recent storms), he was very flexible as we quickly changed plans. I’d highly recommend this group if you’re considering driving between Porto and Lisbon (or vice versa). Thank you Mario!
Nice chatting with Mario, our driver, and great service overall. Company was wonderful. Hope everyone can enjoy road trips like this.
Mario was an excellent guide on our transfer from Porto to Lisbon. We stopped at Aveiro, Coimbra, Nazare, and Obidos along the way. He gave us a lot of information about each destination and along the way. He gave us helpful recommendations at each place and allowed us as much time as we wanted to explore. He was a great guide but an even better person! Thank you, Mario!
Jorge was excellent as a driver. Very personable and informative. Even suggested an additional stop in a beautiful sea side beach town. Would highly recommend.
We had a good time with Mario. He is a safe driver and very kind and patient with my teenage son who had tons of questions. Mario was making conversation with my sons the whole trip. I don’t even think I would have that kind of patience. I didn’t do my homework before we went on the tour. Mario kindly pointed out the most tourist visit spot on the first stop. Then I used TripAdvisor to quickly search the next three stops. Mario knew what’s the best spots to drop us off. Over all, we had a great time with Mario. We highly recommend this experience!!
We had a wonderful journey as a family from Porto to Lisbon with a delightful leisurely stop in Coimbra. Vasco has vast knowledge of history, places and architecture. It was a fun and relaxing day, seeing beautiful sights and having a great meal.
David our driver was wonderful! He picked us up on time and was very friendly and warm. Loaded our luggage expertly as we had a lot of luggage. Great driving and he took us tomorrow two stops maneuvering through big crowds at Nazare (the huge waves had finally begun so it was a madhouse) and was easy to locate each stop. Obidos was a bit too touristy for our taste so we just ate at the Castle - lovely lunch highly recommend - then headed to Lisbon. He was very helpful, polite, friendly, fun and a proficient driver. Patricia with Wonder Tours was amazing helping us to arrange. Always very responsive and helpful!
Our driver Rui was prompt, courteous and very comfortable to be around. He advised us well on how to spend our free time in our stop in Óbidos. With the convenience of the door to door drop off and pick up and the lovely stop to break up the drive the is transfer is an excellent choice.
We have consistently had wonderful experiences with the guides and tours in Portugal, and this tour was no exception. Our journey from Porto to a conference in Lisbon allowed us to savor local attractions. Given it was a Sunday and many establishments were closed, we chose to spend more time exploring the charming Nazaré and Óbidos regions.
Great guide. Safe driver. Had a great day! Mario is an insightful, kind, guide. Enjoyed him very much.
Mario was an excellent driver and very personable. He provided tips and recommendations for our stops at Coimbra and Obidos. Highly recommend this transport service.
Mario was our driver. He was prompt and very responsive. He picked us from the hotel and we stopped at 3 points - Aveiro, Coimbra and Óbidos. Out of the 3, Obidos is the best spot and Coimbra is the worst. There is nothing in Coimbra. You can save some money by making it 2 stops or add another stop instead of this one. Mario helped us with the bags to the destination hotel. We talked a lot on the way. Ask for him as your driver if that’s an option.
We spent most of our day with Mario. From the moment he picked us up, we knew we were in good hands. Starting in his spotless car, we traveled from Porto to Lisbon, stopping in 3 cities along the way. Mario made sure that we knew what to expect and look for in each one. As soon as we were ready to leave, all we had to do was message him, and he was there within moments, to scoop us up and bring us to our next destination. Mario's concern for us was clear, his immense knowledge of his route was clearly researched, his car was pristine and his smile and humor are memorable. Thank you, Mario! Susan and Gail
