        The best way to start your stay in Lisbon!
        Our fantastic guide Vasco picked us up from the airport and whisked us off to Belem and Jeronimos Monastery to start the day! He was very helpful and informative (the information he shared at each stop and along the way was fascinating). As we continued our day, we were so grateful to have invested in a private tour - what a way to see the city!

        3 perfect days touring with Diego Vasco
        Diego Vasco was our tour guide for 3 days. He was always on time, speaks perfect English, and attentive to needs of clients. I traveled with my husband and adult son. He was informative, fun and knows great places to eat. My husband is disabled and vasco was attuned to making things as easy as possible for him. Always getting him close to destinations to minimize walking. We rented a w/c. Diego picked it up and returned it for us. He was knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and included history and art since we included that in our interest’s. Diego is an Excellent driver. I lost my hairclip and asked him to ask his daughter for a store recommendation to find one. The next morning instead of an address he arrived with a beautiful hair clip just like I wanted. So kind and considerate. Always upbeat and positive. Ask for Diego you will be very happy.

        Our guide was not very good. He seemed preoccupied with something else the entire time. Not that knowledgeable about Fátima.

        Wonderful touring with Francisco Canas at Portugal Magik
        We used Portugal Magik for two full private touring days in the Lisbon area with Francisco Canas as our guide. On day one, we did the Lisbon Historical + Jewish Highlights + Belem tour and on day two we did the Sintra tour. The Lisbon Historical (etc.) tour gave us a close up overview of the various neighborhoods in the city. Francisco was terrific at tailoring the tour to our needs and desires (we enjoyed the heavy emphasis on walking in certain areas as we requested) and was terrific at explaining the history of the city and its key sights. We particularly enjoyed stopping at local places for snacks, drinks and meals which gave us a great feel for life in Lisbon. The Sintra tour was also outstanding. Rainy weather made things somewhat of a challenge, but Francisco handled it well. As we did on day one, we got to stop at some local establishments for snacks and meals which we really enjoyed. We recommend that you ask specifically for Francisco Canas. He is local to the Lisbon area, speaks perfect English, is very knowledgeable about the city and its history and is very easy to converse with over the couple of days. He made our touring in Lisbon and Sintra a special treat.

        What An Absolutely Perfect Day!
        We were picked up at the end of our cruise by Vasco for our day-long tour. He was on-time and solicitous with our luggage which he stowed and camouflaged under blankets. After that, it was all systems go! We got so much out of our tour, which started when we left the port and ended about 9 hours later at the hotel. Vasco was extremely knowledgeable about his country's history and geography and explained it all very well in perfect English. Highlights of the tour were, of course Sintra and Cascais, where we were treated to a delicious lunch in a local market. The coastline there is amazing and we did get to visit the westernmost point of mainland Europe. Vasco gave us a comprehensive description of the country's cork industry and took us to a different market where we were able to fill up on cork souvenirs. All in all, an amazing day with a wonderful guide. Highly recommend

        ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
        We had the pleasure of exploring Portugal with Vasco and cannot recommend him highly enough! From the moment our first tour began, it was clear we were in the hands of a true expert. Whether we were strolling through the historic streets of Lisbon or discovering hidden gems in Sintra and Cascais, Vasco's passion and knowledge were unparalleled. He provided a perfect balance of cultural insights, fun anecdotes, and practical tips for each destination. He also did an awesome job of adapting the tour to our interests; adding a personal touch with local recommendations for food, shopping, and experiences. If you’re visiting Portugal and want a guide who’s enthusiastic, funny, friendly, and deeply knowledgeable, Vasco is the one to book! You’ll leave not only having seen the best of Portugal but also feeling a deeper connection to its culture and people. You'll leave with a new friend! Obrigada Vasco for an unforgettable couple of days in your beautiful country.

        John and Francisco with Majik tours….made all the difference!
        We spend 10 amazing days and 4 private tours in Portugal with Portugal Magik tours and this tour company is hands down the way to go…as their tour guides are, no doubt, the best in the business. We’ve travelled the world and have never had such an experience as we had with Joao (John) and Francisco. 1) Our first tour, which was a private tour of Lisbon, began when we arrived at 6am. Our airbnb’s checkin was at 3pm so this was a perfect way to get our bearings (and acclimate to a new time zone!) John took us to the best sights to see the sunrise, drove us to all the great parts of the city, selected great places for breakfast and lunch, and had us to our apartment in time for checkin. The vehicles are all new Mercedes btw, and very comfortable to say the least. John couldn’t have been more knowledgeable or personable. Truly a perfect way to start our stay in Lisbon. 2). Our second tour was the Golden triangle tour with John as our tour guide. His knowledge of Sintra, Cascais and Cabo were amazing. He made everything interesting and customized his delivery to our speed and areas of interest. A perfect day! 3). We transferred to Porto with John as our guide, and made numerous stops at beautiful cities on the way. Sure…trains are great here… but this is on an other level as John stopped whenever and wherever we wanted and explained everything about where we were. Btw….trains are sometimes on strike here so check this out before committing to the trains. 4). We transferred again back to Lisbon for our return flight with Francisco as our guide. Like John, he picked us up promptly at our apartment and took us to numerous cities on the way back to Lisbon. Francisco was extremely knowledgeable and wonderful my personable. Arrived to the airport safe and sound on time and couldn’t have had a better last day! All in all both John and Francisco were the best tour guides we’ve ever had. They customize their delivery to your needs and have an encyclopedic knowledge of everything in Portugal. They also speak perfect English by the way. Lot’s of choices out there, but in our experience, you can’t go wrong with John and Francisco with Magik tours. They made all the difference.

        Wonderful Experience!
        We had the most wonderful experience with two private tours! Our first was a private pickup from the airport and a tour of Lisbon on the day we arrived. Miguel Safara was our driver/guide and he was exceptional! We were also lucky enough to have Miguel on our second private tour of Sintra and Pena Palace! Portugal Majik tours provided the most informative and responsive customer service during the months leading up to our trip. I would 100% recommend them for anyone's visit to Portugal!

        Best Part Of Our Trip -Diogo Is The Man
        My husband and I were in Portugal for a few days for our honeymoon and he decided to book this tour so we could make the most of the short time we were there. I started the day very tired from a lot of traveling but my energy and mood immediately lifted due to our amazing guide Diogo. He picked us up right on time- actually he was early and waiting outside our hotel in Lisbon. We started the day at Pena Palace and despite how packed it was, he expertly navigated the crowds so we weren’t stuck in long queues and able to soak in the beauty and history of the palace at a comfortable pace. Diogo was extremely professional and knowledgeable about EVERYTHING. He gave us amazing recommendations for pastries in the town square and when we asked for a suggestion for lunch and he took us to the most breathtaking restaurant overlooking a cliffside beach that was the highlight of my honeymoon. He was so in tune with our energy and took us to a less crowded and peaceful location after lunch - Convento Dos Capuchos. I can’t put into words how healing that part of the tour felt for me. I have a bad knee and so the whole itinerary was perfect for me. I cannot stress how much we laughed and thoroughly enjoyed this tour because of Diogo. It felt like traveling with a longtime friend and I will recommend this tour and Diogo to anyone that wants to visit Portugal. We left with a deeper love and respect for Portugal and its vast history, cuisine, and wonderful people. Thank you for riveting conversations, and facilitating the best part of our honeymoon!

        The best tout guide ever
        Victor was absolutely the best tour guide we have ever had. He told us a lot of historical facts and was a fantastic storyteller. He took us to beautiful sites and we enjoyed our time so much. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

        It was an amazing tour such beautiful no places. Our Tour guide Rui was very professional, friendly, kind , very knowledgeable. He suggested a great seafood restaurant in Cascais that we all loved. Everything was planned perfectly. This company is great from beginning off booking to the very end of the tour.

      There were 8 of us on this day tour and we were guided by Andy and Jaoa. Both were great and together even better. We saw and learned so much about Tomar and the knights.

      They picked out a wonderful restaurant for lunch in Tomar and the traditional foods selected were very good. Everyone found several items they enjoyed.

      Portugal Magik was great to work with. We took this tour with 3 other couples (we knew) that were heading back toward Lisbon, while we continued on with our guide for 3 more days of private touring.

      We booked two tours in the Lisbon area. Both were well organized, and informative. The area is beautiful. We visited all of the areas in the detail. Our guide was Diogo. He was always on time and he shared information on each of the visits, and the overall history of Portugal. The company's communication was fast and they made adjustments to the tour based on our needs. They were very flexible. We were very pleased and we highly recommend this company.

      Excellent guide who was from the Tomar area and had a history degree. He shared in-depth details about the history of the area, including the building of Vasco DeGama's ships in the region.

      We had our two teen/pre-teen daughters with us and his stories kept their attention the whole day.

      It was a particularly hot day so we were very grateful of the A/C in the super-comfortable van. The guide planned the day really well so that we would be in shady, indoor areas during the hottest part of the day. In addition he took us for meals at local restaurants that were terrific.
      One of our best guide experiences ever.

      My wife and I did this and the Sintra area tour with Jose Barreira and had the most wonderful time. The tour company is just wonderful and accomodating. There are not enough words to describe how good the guides are and Jose was special. The whole day from start to finish was a magical travel through history of the area and we feel we are now part of the great history of Portugal.

      My wife and i thoroughly enjoyed our private tour with our guide Francisco Canas. Francisco was a great tour guide. Most importantly he paced the tour to accommodate our our interests. Francisco also provided excellent insights into the Knight Templars as well as Portuguese history, life and culture in general. Just the right amount of history for us. He read his audience well. And Francisco took us to an excellent restaurant for lunch. One we would have never found on his own.

      Sintra Magic was an excellent tour provider. Communications with them were outstanding. Their Support and Sales Team desire a lot of praise.

      We'd definitely recommend Sintra Magic to our firends.

      Our curated private tours hosted by Miguel was absolutely a magical experience. Upon meeting Miguel, he was gleaming with enthusiasm and excitement. Miguel is a true historian. He captivated my family with stories, tales and mysteries . He took us back to Medievel times, showing us its founding foundation, the rise and fall of Knights of Templars and the beginning of Freemason. Our tour resembles movies such as: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and National Treasures. Between visits, Miguel took us around town and boy is he so popular. He knew everyone and everyone knew him. He introduced us not as tourist but a long lost family from America. He acquainted our palettes to Portuguese culinary. Seafood delicacies that took us straight to the ocean. A feast with roasted pork. Finishing our palettes with pastel de Nata that dates back 1820 when Pastéis de Belém opened its doors. Our last tour was a lonely little town of Fátima a major pilgrimage site for Catholics. It was a perfect place to end our 3 days tour. It was an unforgettable and nostalgic experience that is now imprinted in our hearts. Thank you Miguel.

      Absolutely the Best Private Tour Experience with Portugal Magik and Our Amazing Guide - Jose Barreira..!  Highly Recommend…!
      Incredible Adventure - A Private Tour and Guide is the way to maximize your time visiting Portugal.

      Great Communication..!!!  Gonzalo, the owner, was very quick to respond to emails… he provided excellent recommendations and designed our “customized” itinerary.  Before our arrival, Gonzalo sent us our Guide’s information and the location of where to meet him at the airport.  It was all very easy…!

      Our awesome Guide and Historian Extraordinaire - Jose Barreira..!   “Joe” is an excellent driver, a true professional.  He’s very friendly and has a great personality - which is very important if you are spending 8 days traveling together..!  - Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic… we shared many stories and laughs as we traveled through the Country.  Joe was absolutely great to “take charge” of our little group, keeping us on schedule… first history, then pictures…. “Lots of pictures”..!  

      One of our Favorites about “Private Tours and Guides” - the guides know the “Best Local Places to Eat”..!  Joe excelled at this..!  We even had him order for us each day…  Fresh Grilled Fish, Suckling Pig, Pork in Red Wine Sauce, Dungeness Crab.!  Each day was a new Foodi Adventure..!  Loved our afternoon stops for Fresh-made Sangria or Wine Tasting and Vineyard Tours..!  A New Friend for sure…!  Highly, Highly Recommend Joe as your Guide… you will learn so much from him..!!!

      8 days of walking through History and exploring incredibly Beautiful Portugal!!!
