Custom Portugal 3-Day Tour with Private Licensed Tour Guide

While group tours are usually more budget friendly, the value for price paid on a private guided tour far exceeds the savings of group tours in terms of privacy, security, convenience, flexibility and efficient time management. Our custom itinerary reflected the places and activities that we wanted to experience instead of pre-packaged cookie-cutter tours. We consulted with the owner of Van Go Tourism by email and with our input and some of her suggestions we agreed to an itinerary that suited us. Van Go stressed that the entire tour was flexible. We had the ability to change our plans while on the go. Susana, our licensed tour guide for the three days together impressed us with her encyclopedic knowledge that covered ancient history to current real estate values, secret spots, and dependable dining suggestions. One of the highlights of the tour occurred in the Douro Valley where through Van Go’s connections, they arranged a semi-private tour of the Niepoort Winery where we enjoyed wine tastings and a very special lunch where we received wonderful hospitality. This experience was one of several we enjoyed with Susana and hard to find on a group tour. I recommend investigating what Van Go Tourism has to offer when you are planning to tour Portugal and beyond. They offer first-class service, reasonable rates, and proved themselves to be a reputable company with a lot of integrity.

Honest tour company you can trust

When you go on vacation most times you’re putting your trust in a strange company to have a good time. We booked 2 tours with them. Communication was key with this company. They found out that something was closed on 1 of the days we chose. So they told us about it and asked if we move that spot to the other tour. Also we bought tickets for a place we went to on tour. We didn’t know they were included in the tour. We wouldn’t of known any better. But this company was honest and said that because of the tickets we bought on accident they would pick up admission tickets at 2 other places. Thank you for your honesty!

Christopher Schreiner

Outstanding!

The visit organized by Van Go Tourism, and our guide Susana, were above our expectations. Everything was professionally planned: sightseeing, visits to monuments, beaches and towns, and an excellent choice of restaurant for lunch with very good fish and a beautiful sea view.

Maria Rojas

Van Go Tourism!!

Six of us made plans to go to Portugal in 2020, but because of Covid, we had to put it off until August 2022. In February 2022, I went online to look for the best tour company for our trip to Portugal. I found Van Go Tourism and began communicating with Margarida. Her responses to my many emails were immediate and thorough. With lots of help from Margarida and a fellow traveler, I was able to develop a 7 day itinerary which included the following:

1) Lisbon with Belem

2) Evora with Cork Factory

3) free day in Lisbon

5) Sintra, Cape Roca, Cascais

6) Obidos, Nazare, Alcobaca, Batalha & Fatima (overnight in Fatima).

7) Coimbra and a transfer to Porto

The itinerary was a combination of Van Go published tours and custom tours. Margarida was very flexible and told me that changes could be made as we went. Margarida also added in our transfer from the airport to our hotel upon our arrival in Lisbon.

We just got home this past Sunday and I can’t say enough about our experience with Van Go! All details were taken care of, thanks to Margarida. Then we met Susana, our guide for 7 days. She was waiting for us when we arrived at Lisbon airport with a smile and hugs for all of us. She took us to the beautiful new van that fortunately, held all of our luggage! Our tour started immediately as she took us to our hotel. Susana’s knowledge of Portugal especially the history is amazing! She is passionate and so interesting. In addition to this, she is a very compassionate person, taking care of all of us. A very thoughtful person – she immediately got to know our individual needs. Also, she was very generous – treating us to the local specialties. Loved the Pastéis de Belém! As Margarida said, we were able to make changes to our tours. Susana was very flexible, allowing us to modify our days if we wanted to spend more time at a particular place or if we were tired and wanted to skip an attraction or monument. Certain tickets were purchased in advance of our trip, but most were purchased on the days we were visiting particular attractions. Susana was always able to get to the front of the line so there was no wait for tickets. In order to avoid the crowds, she also chose the ideal times to visit attractions (especially Pena Palace) and to have lunch.

When communicating with Margarida before our trip, I told her that I would love to meet her. To our surprise, Margarida met us at a pastry shop in Sintra where we were treated to the local specialty, Travesseiros de Sintra. Yum! It was so nice meeting Margarida after the months of planning!

I loved Portugal! Thanks to Susana and Margarida of Van Go Tourism for making our vacation extra special!!

Maureen Meyer

Just Book It, You Won’t Regret It

I cannot recommend this tour enough. Sintra is the most beautiful, magical place you will set eyes on. We went during high season, but still got to see all the best monuments without having to stand in line. We felt like VIP’s with the best tour guide of all time, Susana.

We were picked up at our hotel in a roomy, air conditioned van and drove directly to the monuments. In the morning we explored Pena Palace, took a stroll through the gardens, then walked the walls of the Castle of the Moors. We had a relaxing lunch at the town center, visited the National Palace, then enjoyed a coffee and Sintra’s classic pastry, Travesseiro. Lastly, we toured Quinta da Regaleira and descended the Initiation Well.

The monuments are stunning and Susana made them even more meaningful by sharing the history behind them. She knew all the best views and places to take photos. She offered us lots of options to customize our trip. Would you like to walk the gardens or drive? Would you like a relaxing meal or a quick bite and time for shopping? Even the monuments we didn’t get to visit, Susana pointed out on our drive and shared some info about them. A great unexpected bonus was that on the drive home, Susana let us pick her brain about recommendations for the rest of our trip! She is a total pro and so fun, we were sad to part at the end of the day.

It was definitely crowded, but we never felt cramped or rushed or made to wait. When I booked the trip, I thought it was strange only tickets for Pena Palace were included and not the other monuments. I considered buying tickets for those separately, but that is unnecessary. Susana knows how to get tickets to the other monuments easily and not buying ahead of time allows you some flexibility.

Towards the end of the day, we noticed lots of grumpy people who spent a large part of the day standing in line and waiting for the tram. We were so glad we booked this tour. It really turned out to be one of our best days in Portugal.

Each client a friend. This is what our clients posted about us...

Each time we’ve visited Lisbon in the past decade, we’ve hired Jorge Bras as our guide for day trips to various sites in Lisbon and in the surrounding countryside. This year, for example, Jorge took us to Fatima, Batalha, Nazare, and Tomar. Last year, Jorge took us to Sintra, Cascais, and Estoril. In prior years, Jorge took us to Evora, Obidos and the nearby countryside in addition to showing us everything there is to see in Lisbon.

Jorge is extremely knowledgeable about historic and contemporary Portugal, a fascinating story-teller, and, importantly, a careful driver. We enjoy exploring the local cuisine, and Jorge always knows where to find the best food and wine in each area he takes us to. Even a quick stop at a grocery store becomes a learning experience and an adventure. Jorge’s English is impeccable, and his sense of humor delightful.

We recommend Jorge highly!

Our family reunion totaled 13 people so Jorge required 2 vehicles. Vehicles and drivers were waiting for us when we departed our cruise ship. Vehicles had WiFi bottled water and were very clean. Departed port and visited Lisbon’ s old section with its narrow streets. Then proceeded to Sintra to tour the National Palace of Sintra. After seeing the palace Jorge allowed us some free time to visit the many shops in the area. Then we drove to a nice restaurant to try some of the typical Portuguese foods.

Along the way, Jorge stopped the car to show us the cork trees of Portugal. Jorge then drove us back to Lisbon via Cascais and Estoril. Although the stated time of the tour had ended when we arrived in Lisbon, Jorge insisted on showing us the cathedral which was beautiful. Finally back to the ship in a timely fashion to ensure we felt no stress over the ship’s departure time. Best tour of our cruise. Jorge was a professional and knowledgeable guide and an excellent driver. Would recommend Jorge hands down to anyone visiting Lisbon.

Jorge was punctual, friendly and polite. He is one of the most knowledgeable guides I have ever met. It was very informative and interesting. Overall, we had a great time and would highly recommend this company.

Unforgettable private tour in Portugal shown to us by our fun loving and knowledgeable guide, Mr. Jorge. He was very helpful, professional, down to earth and will always try his best to an extra mile to make your trip as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

No complaints about his service, programmes and the transport and our overall trip with him for almost two weeks was smooth sailing and very educational. We brought back home with us fond and priceless memories of Portugal. Mr. Jorge is like a walking dictionary when it comes to the history of Portugal. Thank you, Mr. Jorge, for taking care of us in Portugal.

We hope you will always be in the very best of health to keep continuing what you love doing in your passion by making Portugal proud and the best place to visit. Till we meet again Sir… Obrigada..!!

Jorge and Premiere.Tours put together a wonderful itinerary for a guided tour throughout the country. It would not have been better. Jorge is very knowledgeable and articulate, and his history lessons of the country impressed us, as well as his driving skills through Lisbon and the countryside. We will be recommending Jorge and the company to any of our friends traveling through Portugal.

Thanks for a wonderful time.

Introducing Portugal

Portugal’s relatively small size makes country-wide vacations a real possibility without having to spend endless hours on the road. However, this certainly does not mean that the country has only a small number of attractions. This is where customized tours to Portugal come in. With tailor-made tours to the country, you can take in the sights and sounds of Portugal at your own pace while filtering out the destinations you wish to avoid. Portugal’s relatively small size makes country-wide vacations a real possibility without having to spend endless hours on the road. However, this certainly does not mean that the country has only a small number of attractions. This is where customized tours to Portugal come in. With tailor-made tours to the country, you can take in the sights and sounds of Portugal at your own pace while filtering out the destinations you wish to avoid. 

From relaxing beach escapes in the Algarve and a hiking trip to the westernmost point in mainland Europe to cultural tours of Lisbon, a  personalized Portugal itinerary offers you the chance to indulge your passion in a leisurely manner.

When to go to Portugal

The best time to visit Portugal is from April until October. This is when travelers can enjoy sunny skies and temperatures in the high teens or low twenties (Celsius). July and August are the hottest months of the year and part of the peak tourist season, with competition for flights and sunbeds at their fiercest. A tailor-made Portugal itinerary for winter, on the other hand, allows you the chance to experience a more tranquil side of the country without having to jostle with crowds.

How long to stay in Portugal

If you are looking for a quick city break in Lisbon or Porto, a long weekend of three days would be the perfect amount of time. In seven days, you can dive into the history and culture of at least three destinations in the country.  However, to get a feel for the country beyond its biggest cities, and have some time to enjoy its superb beaches and wineries, we recommend custom tours to Portugal lasting ten days or more. This duration is enough to cover everything from the cobbled alleys of Lisbon to the coastal splendor of Algarve and the rustic towns in Alentejo without feeling rushed.

Must-visit destinations in Portugal

If you wish to discover Portugal with a personalized itinerary, make sure that you spend at least a day in Lisbon, whose attractions range from architectural gems to world-class museums. Porto’s Ribeira area is yet another charming destination that you might want to explore. The fairy tale castles of Sintra, which have to be seen to be believed, are yet another highlight worth discovering. Similarly, while Cascais has traditional charm in bucket loads, Europe’s westernmost point, located in Cabo da Roca, has some of the country’s best walking routes. The Douro Valley, on the other hand, is not only stunning to look at and sail through, but also offers plenty of wine-tasting opportunities too.

Take the trip! Everything ran so smoothly and it was so nice having transfers, etc already taken care of. All of our guides - Marta in Lisbon and Paulo and John in the Azores were fantastic! In Lisbon we were the only two on the tour with Marta and in the Azores we were with one other person one day and 6 other people the next which was great! You aren’t with a full bus of people being herded around. I can’t recommend this your enough! We also added a few days after the Azores and went to Porto which I highly suggest! Porto is super hilly like Lisbon but well worth the extra 2/3 day addition to the trip! We absolutely LOVED working with your radar and Portugal Travel Company and can’t wait to plan our next trip!

I want to start by saying... DON'T HESITATE TO USE THIS COMPANY!!! We customized our trip with Daniela who is an ABSOLUTE pleasure to work with, and so incredibly responsive! We had great tour guides particularly Pedro in Lisbon. We had a couple of cruises, a cooking class, top notch dinners and lunches. We saw so much of Portugal in the short time we were there due to the precise planning Daniela organized and we actually customized it a bit more when we were there. It was very important to me to see some synagogues and for some reason I failed to mention that prior to going but... Daniela did her magic. She got us into one of the oldest synagogues in Europe in Tomar and into another synagogue in Porto. So very much appreciated. Can't wait to use Portugal Travel Center again and thank you so much for an unforgettable vacation.
