  1. Shane B –

    This tour was completely unexpected and one of the best tours if not the best I have ever been on. Our tour guide Filipe provided a tailored tour perfect to our needs and even went to the extra mile of contacting us to offer an alternative day as the day we booked was forecasted to be wet & rainy (which it turned out to be a very cold and rainy winter day). The alternative day was perfect weather and the views from the Moorish castle were amazing. Filipe provided us with a picnic lunch of local food; which I definitely recommend you try but wont say too much as I don’t want to give away any surprise. The half day tour ended up going for a full day as Filipe took us through the beautiful Pena palace and also the surrounding gardens. The day ended with a drive along the beautiful coastline. Filipe’s knowledge of the nature in the area and his eagerness to give us a great experience were truly welcoming. I will definitely look this tour franchise up again when I return to Portugal or Spain. The hike was relaxing and peaceful with impeccable views and touches of natures. If you are looking for something more thrilling or challenging then I’m sure Filipe could organise this for you with his extensive knowledge of the region. Thank you for an amazing tour and great memory of Lisbon!

    We had a great private guided day hike and tour with Felis. Felis was wonderful — incredibly knowledge on the trails, paths and nooks and crannies of the sites to explore as well as being personable, warm and engaging. Felis adapted the day to what we wanted to see and explore, the trails, our hunger and the general conditions. Hid suggestions on the trails, sites and food spots were all great. He graciously suggested and took us to Cape Roca for a little cliff side walk at the end of the day which was a really nice treat. I would highly recommend Felis and Portugal Nature Trails.
