About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- BONNIE K0 contributionsPortugal with Van Go TourismI just returned from 9 days in Portugal with 3 of my friends. Van Go Tourism with the help of Margarida & our amazing guide, Simone, made this experience exciting & amazing. The diversity of our experience couldn’t have been richer. We attended festivals, experienced wine tasting, visited Lamego, Lazarim, Porto, Lisbon, Sintra & much more. Simone was like having a wonderful friend with us. She was knowledgeable - it was so apparent she loves what she does - accommodating, thoughtful about all our wishes & very determined to make this the best time for us all. Thanks so much to Margarida & Simone.Written 8 March 2025

- tashar9510 contributionsFull day of three sitesOur tour guide Simone was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly knowledgeable and fun to be with. We had the best day. The sites were great but I couldn’t imagine going without a guide. I highly recommend this tour to everyone. We left at 8am and Simone picked us up directly from our hotel. We arrived back around 4. Wear comfortable shoes because it is a lot of walking but absolutely worth it.Written 25 February 2025
- LenaMarblewood0 contributionsWe had a fantastic time with Nuno in Sintra!Everyone enjoyed the private tour to Sintra with Roca Cape very much and it became a highlight of our trip to Portugal. Nino is true professional, charismatic and absolutely charming, with excellent English. His driving (and parking!:)) skills are phenomenal and he knows all the best points for the pictures! We didn’t feel rushed, yet we were able to see and visit every site. We learned a lot and will definitely recommend Van Go Tourism company to our friends. Last, but not least - Sintra’s Travesseiros are delicious and must try!Written 21 February 2025
- MeghanLMorgan0 contributionsWonderful Day!This tour exceeded all of our expectations. Our guide, Susana, was brilliant! She explained so much about Portugal’s history and culture - we learned so much while taking in the beautiful sites and experiences. We had the added bonus of a second guide, JP, joining us and he was also lovely. My family loved this trip so much that we will definitely be returning to Portugal and booking another excursion with Van Go Tourism. Thank you Susana and JP!Written 15 February 2025
- H3231OJabigaill0 contributionsSensational day in Sintra!Simone was an excellent tour guide. She is warm, friendly, and had so much knowledge that was able to make our experience have much more depth because of it. My husband’s knees were bothering him and this tour included a lot of walking and she accommodated us throughout the tour. It was a wonderful day exploring Sintra!Written 12 January 2025

Highly recommend this tour, it was a wonderful day!Written 28 December 2024
- xic8640 contributionsWonderful day with SusanaSusana is amazing! She is passionate about the history. She knows almost everything about everything:) For the whole 8 hour trip, she accompanied us as a friend, telling the stories of purtugal, sintra, buldinhgs, food, knights Templar, the kings, moor people ...Can't expect anything better than that.Written 27 December 2024
- venogramm0 contributionsAmazing Day TripWe had an amazing day with Joao, who was an excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable. We saw the three main sites in Sintra, learned a lot of history and had lunch/time in the town. Highly recommended, especially given how busy it would be in peak season. Having all the tickets covered was also an added bonus / one less headache to dal with.Written 23 December 2024
- Jennifer M0 contributionsWonderful experience!The Algarve region is spectacular. Our driver (Joao) was great! He was so helpful and polite. The car was spotless, roomy and comfortable. Joao drove up as close as he could to all of the stops so we wouldn’t have to walk too much and he accompanied us to point out interesting things. The boat ride was incredible. We knew this would be a long day, but it was totally worth it. Highly recommend!Written 20 December 2024
- lanat7130 contributionsAmazing Trip!!!This was one of the best private tours we have ever taken! Absolutely worth the price. Susana was such an amazing guide. Her knowledge of the history of Portugal is phenomenal! It didn't take long for us to feel like she was a friend taking us around to the places that she really loves. Her passion for her job was very evident. She was so very patient and accommodating as we took in all of the beautiful sites of Evora. I would highly recommend booking the Evora tour with Van Go Tourism...and be sure to ask for Susana!!!Written 10 December 2024
- Cruiser6573750 contributionsA Magical Experience in SintraThis is an amazing tour! Van Go Tourism is an incredible company to work with. They are flexible and accommodating and created a magical day for my family of 15 in Sintra! Our tour guide, Susana, was both extremely knowledgeable and so much fun to hang out with! The company was accommodating to the various needs of our group and ages. We had such a wonderful experience, we immediately contacted the company again to schedule another tour. I could not recommend enough!!Written 9 December 2024

We took a Van Go tour by private van with Miguel Alves on a Knights of Templar all day tour from Lisbon to Tomar, Constancia, and a few other places in that area of Portugal. Miguel’s English was superb and he knew so much about the history of the Knights Templar, their Temple, as well as the churches and castles in the area around Tomar. We learned so much from him and enjoyed going through the churches and castles and Templar Temple with him as he pointed out and explained things we would have missed. We had a great time. He recommended a great restaurant by the river in Tomar. My octopus was so tender and perfectly prepared. We also learned a lot about olives and wines in the region. This was a 5+ stars tour with an exceptional guide. It was exactly what we wanted to do and learn more about! I highly recommend Miguel and Van Go tours.

Excellent tour! Susanna was a wonderful tour. She was like having a good friend show us around Portugal. The sites that we saw were wonderful. There was plenty of time to see everything that we wanted to see and also have a very good lunch. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who is interested in Tomar and the Knights Templar. It is also just an excellent way to see other sites in Portugal outside of the larger cities.

My husband and I had scheduled the Tomar tour for the day. Susana picked us up at our apartment and we were off. Susana was lovely - so informative and nice. Best part was that she really customized the tour to what we wanted to do. I mentioned that I had heard there were caves up by Tomar and she arranged to take us on a tour which my husband LOVED. I also mentioned that we had wanted to visit Fatima so she worked that in too! We enjoyed the tour (and Susana) so much that my husband booked her again for the following week to take he and a friend to Porto. 100% recommend - and ask for Susana if you can - she even sent me pictures of both trips which was very appreciated!!!
