Real Portugal. You set the pace. We take the road.
Tanya GVerified Desirable Portugal Tours Happy we decided to book with Leonel. We were his first Porto/Lisboa transfer with stops along the way in his new 8 passenger EV. Highly recommended ! 🇵🇹 Aline HVerified Professionnel et fiable! Nous avons réservé le transport seulement, à partir de Lisbonne, pour aller au village d’Obidos et visiter le festival médiéval. Leonel a été super professionnel, nous étions 8 personnes (2 familles de 4) dans une grande Van électrique. Il nous donnait des recommandations durant le trajet, il parlait super bien le français. C’est une personne fiable, à recommander absolument! Lynne LVerified Great day Leonel was very knowledgeable of the history and culture of Portugal. We went to the palace in Mafra and to the town of Ericiera. Very relaxed pace and so interesting! He was flexible and accommodated our pace. We never felt rushed. We appreciated the variety of sites. Blossom-flamingoVerified Lisbon to Porto transfer and your all in one The choice to travel between Lisbon and Porto by private transfer rather than by train or bus was the best decision we made. Sure, it costs more but you save in so many other ways. We were picked up and dropped off at our accommodation doors, able to choose some towns along the way to stop off and look around (which we were going to do as a day trip from Porto anyway) and spend the day with a true local who could not only tell us the history but have great conversation in general. The vehicle was clean, spacious and comfortable. Tina SVerified You should book a tour with Leonel! Our full day tour with Leonel took us to Sintra, Monserrate Palace, Azenhas do Mar, and Cascais. We stopped for a lunch at a local place that Leonel recommended and it was very good - not touristy at all! Leonel provided transportation from our Lisbon hotel to our Sintra hotel and gave us recommendations for what to do on our second day in Sintra. It was an awesome day and Leonel provided an amazing experience for us! SueTravelLotsVerified Excellent Local Tour Guide for Portugal Tour! We’ve just returned home after a wonderful trip through Portugal, and we can’t thank Leonel enough for an outstanding experience. The tour exceeded all expectations—beautifully balancing iconic highlights with hidden gems, and bringing everything to life with deep knowledge, enthusiasm, and plenty of patience (especially with our many questions 😊). Everything was perfectly paced, well-organised, and always on time. From great lunch stops to well-timed “comfort breaks,” every detail was thoughtfully handled. And the driving skills? Truly impressive—we’ll definitely leave that to the expert! This was an unforgettable journey, and our guide(Leonel) played a huge part in making it so. Highly recommended! Dankie! Tot weer siens / Thank you, till we meet again/ Abrigda, Até à próxima VickiVerified A Trip to Remember We had the most memorable experience with Leonel. His knowledge and passion for sharing the amazing sites of his country made this trip one of the best we've been on. We visited Aviero, Nazare, and Obidos on our transfer from Porto to Lisbon. We learned a lot about these 3 places and enjoyed the sites. Leonel recommended a great restaurant for lunch away from all the tourists that was so delicious and filling! Also, his Volkswagen electric van was comfortable and a cool ride! We will definitely be contacting Leonel again when we come back to Portugal! Beverly SVerified Hands down the best of the best We feel so fortunate to have discovered Leonel for our time in Lisbon. Hands down the finest, most knowledgeable guide that we could have asked for. We scheduled two private tours with him. First, my husband is a history lover and wanted to learn more about the Peninsular War and the Linhas de Torres Vedras outside of Lisbon. As it happens, that is exactly the area Leonel lives and was thrilled to share the history of this event on my husband's private tour. He took the time to drive to some of the significant sites and in between shared his vast knowledge of the events that occurred during that time. It was most definitely a highlight for my husband. Second tour was to take four of us to the secret places in Sintra. After we left the city center thronging with tourists, we wandered through the parkland grounds of Biester Palace. You could feel the mystical aura, the peace, solitude and beauty that is the real Sintra. We only encountered a small handful of people on this walk and our tour of the beautiful palace with extraordinary woodwork and details. The views of the other palaces and castles were gorgeous and you knew that people were being herded through them like cattle. Leonel was such a blessing guiding us through some of the most memorable and picturesque places we would have never found on our own. His rates were very reasonable and he is such a knowledgeable, kind and attentive guide. Warren SVerified More than Desirable Portugal tour I had the good fortune to have Leonard of Desirable Portugal as my guide through Sintra, the Pena Palace and the Moorish Castle. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the day memorable. As my wife could not join us, we began with a walking work the town of Sintra. We explored back streets that larger tours could not access and kept ahead of the larger tours in the central parts of the town. We approached the Pena Palace through the park that surrounds it, always with great insights into the creation of the park and its natural beauty. Leonard’s insights into the history and creation of the palace were amazing and extremely knowledgeable. Ditto for the Moorish Castle. All in all a wonderful 6 hours in his company. He was hands down the best tour guide I have spent time with. Ruth RVerified Truly unforgettable private tour! Truly unforgettable experience!!! Can't say enough how happy we were with Leonel Rodrigues from Desirable Portugal Tours. His vast knowledge of the history, architecture, culture was fascinating and we felt he truly wanted us to have a taste of authentic Portugal. He is a master of logistics and the ride in his electric Volkswagen Van was extremely comfortable and quiet. Leonel catered to our unique needs of our group, including ferrying a forgotten bag in Lisbon to our Porto hotel days after our tour! We want to return to Portugal just to hire Leonel again!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
