We six ladies had the absolute best time and adopted Diana into our group. I can’t wait to recommend her to all of my friends wanting to come over and enjoy Portugal. One of our group had a birthday and she had balloons and cake ready.

Diana was an amazing tour guide. We went with our 1.5 and 8 year old and Diana made it easy to see the sites while keeping the kids entertained. This was our only tour for our Portugal trip and Diana provided all the info about Sintra plus more! She was very knowledgeable and engaging. She provided car seats for the kids and booked a delicious lunch as well. Absolutely recommend!

What an unforgettable experience thanks to our amazing guide. When planning our day-long tour of Sintra and surrounding areas, Diana was extremely helpful and provided us with great insight in how to effectively use our time, while ensuring we checked off all our wishes. During the tour, she was very informative and knowledgeable of all the places we visited. Her positivity and great energy was a joy to be around. I especially appreciated her thoughtfulness throughout the day as she made sure to find shaded areas for my mother to sit and rest as needed. I would highly recommend Diana for anyone looking to explore any areas around Lisbon and Sintra, you won’t be disappointed.

Our tour with Diana was absolutely incredible! She was so knowledgeable about the area and we were able to learn so much from our tour. She went above and beyond to provide a fantastic experience for us and she was also wonderful to be around and spend time with! We will definitely be returning to her for other tours when we come back to Portugal!

We were on a cruise that ended in Lisbon. Our grandson, who is doing a semester in Europe met us for a weekend in Lisbon. We wanted to show him Lisbon and Cascais and Sintra, so we called Diana, who we learned about from friends who travel extensively. Diana met us at our hotel and took us to Cascais, followed by Sintra. She joined us for lunch at a great restaurant that she had recommended, and it was absolutely perfect. Diana is greeted by people passing by, all around the area. And she told us all about the history of the country, as well as customs and traditions. In Sintra, while we walked around, she presented us with Portuguese pastries, which were delicious. Our grandson expressed an interest in seeing the Maritime Museum on the way back to the hotel, so Diana dropped us there, and explained where to enter, and to walk around back to see the larger boats along with other exhibits. We enjoyed this museum. All in all, Diana is the best. She is personable, friendly, and wants you to have the best time in Lisbon. She is the guide you want on your next trip here. Thanks, Diana. :)

Our tour with Diana was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly accommodating and seemed to know exactly what we were looking for. Her deep knowledge of Sintra and its history made every moment engaging and fascinating. She took us to hidden gems that we would have never discovered on our own, even with extensive research. Diana also gave us plenty of time to explore the city at our own pace and indulge in some of the local delights. It was a truly memorable experience, and we highly recommend her as a guide!

Excellent tour with Diana! She was so kind and warm, it felt like we were with an old friend. Wonderful to not have to worry about any details, Diana took care of everything. She was great with our children and kept them engaged.
