An amazing day in Sintra!

We arrived in Sitra with train from Lisbon,around 10 o’clock in the morning. Not too early, not too late. The train tickets is very cheap, 2.25 eur/person and the trip last up 1 hour.

But, now let’s return to Sintra. While we are in the train station and we are looking for the prices and for the best option to visit Sintra, a very nice guy came to us. He recomand Paulo, a accredited guide and offer to us a full day prive tour.
The price was very resonable 25eur/person, so we accepted. The best decision we made.
Paulo is amazing. Informated, a good storytellet fulfill with o lot of stories about Sintra.

Apart from the fact that Paul told us the history of the castles, he bought our entrance tickets, he took us to lunch in a local restaurant - not a touristic one, he stayed with us all day.

Sintra is amazing, but I think it’s amazing because we saw through Paul's eyes, a true local.
Thks, Paulo! You are amazing!

We experienced a lot of ups and downs, both literally and figuratively, on our recent 7 day private Jewish Heritage Tour of Portugal with our guide, Pedro E. The many cobblestone alleys we climbed and descended, were at turns charming, desolate, hopeful, and vicariously nostalgic. Emotions we felt throughout included sadness, anger, hope, joy, and curiosity.

We had done some reading in preparation but learned so much more from our consummate guide, Pedro E., who is passionate about Portuguese history, especially Jewish history, within a broad context. He ensured that we saw and did everything that we wanted to and more as he nurtures and maintains very good relations with the communities that we visited. Pedro knew where to have authentic local lunches, recommended some great boutique hotels, was a careful driver with a comfortable vehicle, always on schedule.

A most memorable trip.

Our family of 4 (2 adults/2 young adults) visited Lisbon 5/31-6/4/22. When we travel, we like to know the history and the stories of what we see and there is no better way to get that than with a local guide. We were lucky enough to get Guilherme as our guide for the day - he was extremely knowledgable about Portuguese history and the buildings and monuments that we saw, we absolutely enjoyed every minute of our tour. He knows the ins and outs of all the streets and brought us to a wonderful place for lunch that we certainly never would of found on our own. Although we stayed several days in Lisbon, this was our favorite day and I feel we actually LEARNED about Lisbon and have left the city knowing it much better. To paraphrase Jane Austen, we will not be like other travellers, we will know where we have gone and we will recollect what we have seen. Thank you Gui for such a memorable day! Portugal Magik was very communicative about confirming our tour, giving us our driver name and license plate and is a top notch company. I highly recommend them if you are looking to have a relaxing day while covering a lot of ground.

This was our first time in Portugal and we didn’t know what to expect. Portugal did not disappoint and it was definitely because of the tailor made itinerary by Portugal Magik Private Tours. Gonzalo listened to what we wanted and customized our 9-day visit. He was so responsive to all of our inquiries throughout the months of planning. However, what truly made our experience that much more spectacular was our tour guide, DIOGO ANDRADE. Diogo’s passion for what he did was evident in everything he did and everything he knew. He was a “walking encyclopedia” as it pertained to Portugal’s history and culture. He made it interesting and fun. His knowledge went beyond Portugal as well. Diogo showed us authentic Portugal. From ordering the right food and wines at lunch, to making dinner reservations for us at great restaurants, Diogo was the best. Our group consisted of 4 couples and by Day 1, he already knew all about us and was sensitive to all of our needs and desires. He became more than just a tour guide to us. He became our friend and advisor. Our driver, Rui, was a great complement to the trip – wonderful driving! Thank you Diogo for making this the best trip ever!!!

My family had the best private tour that we've ever experienced. Six days, four adults touring Lisbon and the surrounding cities/sights, up to Porto and then back to Lisbon. We had no idea how many fascinating sights and experiences make up this incredible country. We unanimously believe we got the most out of our trip because of our guide Diogo (Andy). If you want the closest thing to a "guaranteed fabulous experience", ensure Diogo (Andy) is your private tour guide. Unlike many other tour guides, he ensures he is not the center of attention, but rather you and your family and Portugal are the focus. Here are just a few adjectives about Diogo: knowledgeable, warm, kind, punctual, accommodating, generous, thoughtful, and charming.

My group contracted Portugal Magic for a 6 day private tour of Portugal. Gonzalo helped organize an itinerary that would fit best to our needs. He was very helpful the whole way with the daily activities as well as discussing my hotel accommodations. This company can book it all if you wish. The communication and emails regarding Portugal in general were welcomed from the time I contracted with the company. Diogo, our tour guide, was recommended by friends and picked us up with my name on a sign and drove us to our hotel at a late hour and made sure we were checked in and taken care of. He was very punctual, spoke English very well, was easy to understand, and extremely knowledgeable about all things Portugal! We spent the next six days with him from Porto to Lisbon and all of the interesting towns and sites in between. Our experience was top notch and I would highly recommend this company to anyone visiting beautiful Portugal!

I can't rave enough about this tour company. We were 4 couples traveling for 9 days through Portugal. Our guide Diogo Andrade and our driver Rui were so responsive to all of our needs and desires. We wanted to dine at restaurants that didn't attract tourists, so Diogo always selected the best spots for lunch and dinner, and he even ordered for us. We traveled in a new Mercedes van and were so comfortable and entertained by the exquisite scenery and great conversation. Diogo is so passionate about the Country's history - he's incredibly knowledgeable and answered every question posed by our inquisitive group. He navigated our abilities as a group of seniors (some more able to walk the steep hills than others), and he always steered us right. He took us to fantastic areas and was so caring to make sure that we were all enjoying the sites and experiences. I highly recommend this company and Diogo.

Our guide picked us up at Lisbon Airport in the morning, took us on a tour of Lisbon and then dropped us at our hotel in the afternoon. He was a wealth of information and also provided us with follow-up assistance. Can't recommend highly enough.

We did the Fatima 2 day private tour as well as the Lisbon half day tour with Magic private tours. Talk to Gonzalo! He will help you plan this!
Our long planned trip to Portugal began with a private tour to Fatima, a lifelong dream. Our driver, Miguel was outstanding. He did absolutely everything he could to help us to get the very most memorable experience from our trip. He was sensitive to our needs, understood the spiritual significance of the trip, was professional in very way, and went above and beyond to gives suggestions and help when needed. He was flexible in his plans to include what we chose to do. Because of him, we were able to see much more and avail ourselves of more than if we had not had him as our driver and guide. Also, we had an extra half day with him in Lisbon and again, he took us to places we would not have been able to get to on our own including the Church of St. Anthony (where the saint was born) and the Sanctuary of Christ the King with its gorgeous statue overlooking Lisbon. He is also an excellent driver and so knowledgeable about how to get places! When we had to say goodbye, it was difficult because Miguel had done so much for us and we were extremely grateful.

My husband and I had the privilege of having Francisco tour us through Lisbon, SIntra, Cascais and Porto. Francisco speaks excellent English. He was punctual, friendly, knowledgeable and very flexible to shape our experience to our liking. We learned so much about Portugal's history from Francisco and gained wonderful insight as to the culture. He also provided excellent dining recommendations - we will need to go on diets after this vacation! Truly exceeded our expectations and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a next-level tour.
