Diogo gave us the best tour we took in Portugal - This is a private tour without the private tour cost. Diogo was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history of everything we saw on this tour, and also discussed other places we had already seen previously on our vacation, and things we were going to see after this tour. It made for a wonderful day with him, especially since we (more so my husband) are such history buffs. We became fast friends with Diogo and even booked another tour with him. We even tried to cancel a tour (unsuccessfully) that we had booked with another company in order to take it with Diogo instead. If you like an interactive historical tour with a knowledgeable, passionate guide for history, Diogo is the guy for you.

Wonderful - We took a trip with Diogo to Évora and we loved it. Not only is Diogo's knowledge of the area and history immense, but his friendliness captivated us from the first minute. We recommend everyone to take tours with Outing. A very professional and personalized family company.
