According to Portuguese law, every tour company must be licensed and registered in Tourism of Portugal to operate legally.  Is it important? Yes it is, because a licensed company will have and renew all the mandatory insurances and will offer you a professional service.

Do you only offer tours in English?

At the moment we only offer Guided tours in English or Portuguese. Other languages can be available, though subject to availability of guides and added cost.

Are your tours guided, or are we left on our own to explore the sites?

Yes, our tours are guided, which means a guide will be with you during the tour to explain everything and also guide you inside the monuments. We do not leave people on their own to explore the sites and monuments. Unfortunately there are individuals and companies offering “tours” but they basically just transport you to the sites then leave you to explore on your own with a set time to return to the vehicle. In our understanding this is not a tour, so please be aware when booking.

Can I change or add something to your proposed tours?

We have carefully prepared some tour options for you, though we are flexible and are always ready to adapt or tailor a tour to your preferences. Just Contact us!
