My friends and I had a great experience with Diniz during our tuk tuk tour! He provided us with a history lesson of Portugal and gave us all the important information we were looking to learn about. Diniz was very kind and kept us safe throughout the tour. We would definitely do this again and recommend Diniz as a tour guide to our friends and family!

A very nice trip. The two tour guides organised everything very nicely, introduced us to portuguese history and traditions. The wine was very tasty and the blankets during the windy times came right in time. All in one a recommendable experience with Miguel and Federico.

Great time, we loved it! The boat captains were also wonderful. Would highly recommend! -John
