Guest feedback from Ricardo Tito’s previous work as a guide, including tours with other operators. These reviews are not of PortusQuest quests.
Fantastic day trip with Ricardo Tito! We learned so much about Sintra and area and now will read more on our own. Thank you. :)This was a wonderful full day trip allowing us to see everything without the stress of traffic and ticket times. Tito took care of everything, was knowledgeable and personable and went above and beyond taking pictures and providing places to eat when stopping for lunch. Highly recommended.We took our small group tour with Tito who provided a wonderful experience for us. His vast knowledge of the places visited and Portuguese culture and history is impressive. His knowledge and enthusiasm made it a great experience and the sites we visited were amazing. I would definitely recommend Tito.More guest reviews
Tour was very good, very organized. Our tour guide, Tito,our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and personable. It was amazing how much information he was able to share with us about so much history!It was a lovely and well-organised trip. Everything went smoothly, our guide Ricardo was very nice and shared a ton of interesting information. I would certainly recommend this trip to others. Please be prepared that these places are much colder than Lisbon and quite windy. We were all really cold most of the time except for Ricardo, who wore long trousers and softshell jacket.Great experience and highly recommend. Small group and good planning- eg we got to Sintra first thing in the morning and beat the crowds. Tito was knowledgeable and very helpful. He gave us great recommendations on restaurants at Cascais. Time allocated was just about right.Súper puntual Tito muy buen guía nos explicó y acompañen todo momento Lindisimo paseo por Fátima , Nazare preciosa y nos sorprendió Obidos, bellísima imperdible Sacaría el monasterio de BatalhaMuy atento Tito!

Tomar · History
Why the Templars chose Tomar
A hill above the Nabão became more than a stronghold. It became a place where the history of a young kingdom, a military order and centuries of architecture meet.

Tagus Valley · Castles
Almourol, the castle in the river
Before you reach its walls, Almourol asks you to consider the river. The island, the current and the approach are inseparable from the castle’s story.

Rural Portugal · Landscapes
Granite, chapels and quiet roads
Beyond the great monuments, a smaller Portugal comes into view: a chapel beside weathered rock, a path between fields, a village whose buildings seem to belong to the ground beneath them.
