Looking to stay in Lisbon for a long weekend and wanting to pack in as much as possible?
Considering visits to the surrounding area - the palace at Queluz, Sintra Village, Pena Palace, Regaleira Palace and Gardens and Cascais - but only have one day to spare?!
Not interested in the usual coach trips that don't include all the places you want to see?
Prefer not to be shepherded around for the day at someone else's pace?
Afraid that using public transport just isn't going to allow you to cover the ground but that a private tour is going to cost more than your flight?
If this sounds like you take a look at Lisbon Gay Tours.
They offer private day trips for two people for 144 Euros when you book online. If you're wary about booking on the internet don't be! You don't have to pay anything up front (it's cash at the end of the day) and they'll tailor make an itinerary for you.
The car was comfortable (Volvo S80) the driver/ guide (Joe) friendly, spoke excellent English and was hugely knowledgeable plus you can set your own pace.
All in all they provide a really impressive service - a 9 to 5 trip to all of the sights listed extended to 7pm with no complaint and not even a mention of an extra charge.
It was a really great day out and great value.
One last thing - do your best to fit in Regaleira - none of the tour buses go there but it was the highlight of the day!

the BEST TOUR to Sintra
We arranged for a one-day private tour of three, to Sintra and surrounding areas of Lisbon, with Lisbon Gay Tours, to include the Moorish Castle and Pena Palace in Sintra..
We also visited Cape of Roca and Cascais. Our tour leader was Joao (referred to as Joe by others).
We had a wonderful time. Joao was exceptional - very friendly, very informative and he went out of his way to show us sights that were not on the of***ial tour, and that we would not otherwise have had a chance to see.
I strongly recommend this company to anyone looking for a private tour - whether it be of Portugal and/or Spain. The price was reasonable and the service was excellent.
We would definitley contact them again

encicolpedia ambulante.
Obrigado pelos maravilhosos dias, os tours a Sintra, Fátima e Arrabida foram maravilhosos e a companhia do joao foi realmente algo que nunca esqueceremos, quanto a conhecimento... o joao é simplesmente uma encicolpedia ambulante.
Obrigado por tudo e vamos regressar a portugal para mais viagens

the best of portugal
All ok to insert photo in the tour all good OK.. ... We had a very nice time Joe, thank you again for the two days we had, you made our Portugal experience an exciting and a hell of a fun one that we will never forget..... We definitely want to come back but for a much longer time.... 2 days is just a snap shot of what Portugal has to offer...... and yes you were correct, the food is so much better in Portugal than Spain....Spain was a little bit more hard work and huge line ups for all the main attractions...

*** private tour that caters to your speci*** need
On my first trip to Lisbon, I decided to book a tour with this company based on a recommendation from a friend, and I am so happy that I did. Everything from the booking process via email from the US to the actual tour was handled with the utmost professionalism. I emailed them with the date, time, and things that I wanted to see while in Lisbon, and got a response right away with an appropriate itinerary from the m***ger. There were some things that we had to change, and they were very prompt in adding and illiminating aspects of the tour that I was not interested in. Basically, you can fully customize what you want to see, when, and how long. They have a very nice fleet of cars (Volvos), pick you up at the hotel at a time that works for you. I was very impressed with the guide, Joe, and his knowledge of the area, history, and all things Portugal. I would recommend this tour company for singles, couples and families who enjoy discretion, and a fully customizable tour experience with a professional organization that values our community.

Dear Manuel
I came back to Israel two days ago after I was stranded in Porto for almost 3 more days because of the ash cloud. But otherwise I enjoyed very much my vacation in Portugal and I am happy I took your advise and used the services of your company, I think I would not be able to see all the things Joe showed me by myself and he was also very nice and knowledgeable. I will certainly recommend your company to my friends.
Take care,
Kobi

Dear Manuel,
I am so sorry it has taken so long to reply to your email but we have been traveling extensively and just now got back. Thank you so much for letting me know regarding the picture it was a very nice picture and very romantic. We had a couple of pictures that included the two rainbows in the background however they were just the building and the statues in the front, this one was by far a much nicer picture.
We very much enjoyed our time in Lisbon and the days we spent with Joe were a lot of fun, the worst part of the trip was leaving as it is a beautiful city full of beautiful and wonderful people and we truly enjoyed our time there. We do anticipate returning and we will definitely use your services again as it was a superb and wonderful experience.
As for Joe's coffee drinking, he did not drink so much coffee, besides its was cold and the best way to keep a man happy is keeping his stomach warm...none the less he is very sweet and we definitely enjoyed him as our guide and made the whole trip very enjoyable.
