We took a full day tour with Ptsensations. Pedro was so amazing and welcoming. He had a perfect day planned out for us. We went to Pena Palace first and Pedro had tips for a great experience. Then we went to the westernmost point in Europe, which was so beautiful. Then to Cascais with lots of information between history and interesting facts. We had lunch in Cascais and saw beautiful beaches. Because we had some time left, he even took us to Belem to get us some sweets.
His vehicle was clean, air conditioned and he had wifi and chargers for us to charge our phones. It was a hot day and he had water for us. Overall it was an amazing day with a great guide. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a tour in Portugal
Fizemos um passeio de veículo privado com PTsensations (reservado pela Viator, mas gostaria de reservar diretamente) fora de Lisboa com o nosso Guia Pedro. A viagem incluiu Castelo da Pena, Sentra, Regaleira, Cabo da Roca e Cascais. nós no lado - viagens para ver algumas vistas incríveis do oceano e piscinas de marés! Fomos informados de que poderíamos modificar o passeio ao longo do caminho e que era verdade! Os passos em Pena teve um pedágio em alguns joelhos e quadris velhos, então nós pulamos uma das paradas e o Pedro substituiu com uma parada em Belém! Pedro compartilhou uma riqueza de informação ao longo do caminho e nós recomendamos altamente esta excursão.
fwfdanTrip AdvisorPedro was an amazing guide and became part of our family vacation. He did an excellent job showing us the sites, explaining things, as well as helping my mother around town while I enjoyed other things. We even asked him to drive us to Porto the next day and show us more sites. Really a great experience!
Nomad472206Trip AdvisorEfficient and cheap transport service. The driver was friendly and attentive. The car's condition was excellent. 5 stars customer service
Connector785377Trip AdvisorWe booked through Pedro Tours and instantly wished we had met him earlier on our 4 day visit to Fatima. We were traveling with our 5 children to Fátima from Lisbon and Pedro demonstrated excellent knowledge of Lisbon, it's sights and history. He was very patient with our shopping and sightseeing in Fatima especially since we had originally booked him for transportation only. He even went above and beyond to accommodate us with recommendations for lunch in Fatima and a side trip to a palace through Lisbon.
I couldn't have asked for a better guide for our visit. Don't hesitate to book with him directly through his company. I prefer to support local businesses that provide personalized attention like Pedro. Thank you and will certainly book through your company directly on our next visit to Lisbon. Thanks Pedro!
