Top Notch Tour! - Oliver was a kind, conscientious host (and a great driver). He knew absolutely the best time to tour the palace, places to park, and beautiful views to see! We would do another tour with him in a heartbeat!

Jam Packed Day With Spectacular Views & A Top Notch Tour Guide - The tour was phenomenal, and Oliver was a great guide! While most people stuck around central Lisbon, especially due to the time constraints of the cruise, Oliver managed to plan a spectacular day taking us to various outskirts of the city where we saw a magnificent palace, beautiful views, and even had time for a quick but delicious lunch in a popular cafe. He was very knowledgeable and personable, making for very good company throughout the entire day. It's clear he does this for the love of the game, separating him from many of the other tour guide options. Would highly recommend!

Five stars! Book a tour with Olive Premium Tours! - My family and I went on a private tour of Sintra/Cascais with Oliver and had the best time! He was accommodating (we have 2 young children - 2.5 years old and 6 months old); prepared (it rained during our tour and he had umbrellas for us); knowledgeable (offering the perfect amount of information/history throughout the day) and friendly. Peña palace was amazing! Highly recommend!

Fun day trip outside of Lisbon - Oliver was warm, accommodating and flexible as we were traveling in Portugal with our 8.5 month old baby. Sintra was beautiful, along with Cabo da Roca and Cascais where we stopped for lunch. Highly recommend this private tour!

Obrigado Rui - We are experienced travelers and have taken many tours in various places. There is a reason why Rui has only five star reviews. He is simply the best guide we have ever experienced. Rui and his son work alone and have a personal stake in keeping their standards at the highest level. He is prompt, courteous and knowledgable. All tours are private for singles, couples or very small groups. My wife and I recently spent three days with Rui and he made our visit to Lisbon an extremely pleasurable event that we will always cherish. Do not look elsewhere for a guide when visiting Lisbon. You will not be disappointed. John & Debbie

Fun day outside of Lisbon! - Oliver was fantastic! He picked us up right at 8a from our hotel. We headed to Pena Palace and we got there right as the grounds were opening and then took the bus up to the castle. He gave great info throughout the castle and then we headed for the city center for a coffee/hot chocolate/snack break before heading out to Cabo Da Rock, the western most point of mainland Europe. Lastly we stopped in Cascais where we were given plenty of time to roam and find a spot for lunch. It was a great day.

Friendly and knowledgeable private tour guide! Highly recommended! - We booked this tour as it included the entrance tickets into the Palace, which is such an advantage to not having to worry about purchasing the Palace tickets the day of. Oliver was punctual picking us up from our hotel in the city, very friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable about the history of Portugal. He gave us relevant information on the drive into Sintra from the city and once at the palace, he guided us through it at a good pace. The few stops along the coast had breathtaking views and we also had time in Cascais to walk around the charming seaside. Oliver was very kind to stop at Belem on our way back to the hotel. Our teenage kids enjoyed the tour very much and stated that it was one of their highlights in Lisbon. We would not hesitate doing another private tour with Oliver at other sites next time we are back in Portugal.

Pena Palace, Sintra, Cascais and more — ten stars! - Oliver was a phenomenal guide! He was knowledgeable, professional and an excellent time manager. We had a spectacular day. Oliver picked us at the port for our private tour. We first went to the Pena Palace where we were one of the first 15 people to enter the palace that day (entrance ticket included). Oliver explained things we saw and lead us on an informative tour. Next we headed to the village of Sintra where we were allowed to stroll the streets independently and see the Sintra Palace (and eat Pasteis De Nata!). After our visit we headed to the most western point in Portugal (and continental Europe) at Cabo De Roca. Wonderful views of the lighthouse and the coastline. Next Oliver took us to the ocean resort city of Cascais. A beautiful city with plenty of shopping & restaurants. Here we had sufficient time for lunch and to wander at a leisurely pace. Oliver picked us right on time at a convenient spot and took us to Belem to see the the Navigators Monument before dropping us off at Commerce Square at our request. Throughout the day Oliver was a wealth of information. A safe driver who dropped us off at convenient locations and gave us adequate time at each stop. An outstanding tour and excellent value. We highly recommend this tour. A great itinerary and excellent guide!
