Lus (guide) is best to take you through Glamour & Decay! - Lus, our guide was great! Very friendly and super knowledgeable/informative. The pace was good with opportunity to sit if you needed to along the way. Booked the morning tour so the temperature was perfect. Would definitely recommend this tour (and guide!) to get a high level history over- view! Nina - Canada.

This tour is a "must" for history lovers! - The tour with Luis was very enriching! Although we have been to Cascais many times before, he was able to show us new places that are not yet known to us. He also has excellent historical knowledge, so now we walk through you city with a completely different knowledge. Some things are now also opening up to us from a completely different angle. Luis took our wishes and needs into account during the tour and was able to incorporate them flexibly and confidently into his program! Highly recommended! We hope to come back to Cascais/Lisbon sometime and then book another tour with him!

Excellent guided tour DE Cascais with Luis - Very nice visit. You benefit from the EN exclusive guide (we were EN couple). This allows DE ask the questions we want and to go at our own pace. Luis speaks very good French. We recommend this activity without hesitation.

Enjoyable & informative walk - We had a very enjoyable walk around Cascais . Luis with his comprehensive knowledge brought Cascais to life. We loved hearing about the people, the architecture, the links to James Bond and with the UK. It was a very hot morning and Luis took the walk slowly and found shaded spots. Thank you Luis.

A master class about Cascais - Outstanding, informational tour! Luis showed us all the key sights in Cascais, but more importantly, explained WHY they were important. The history, politics, economics, architecture, and art of this area are fascinating, and Luis patiently explained it all. It's like a master class in all things Cascais. Easy walk too! Highly recommended for people who want to learn, not just see.

Interesting walk through the history of Cascais. - Luis gave us a thorough and enlightening look into the history of Cascais. We especially liked the stories behind the architecture and the different individuals who helped shape the city. It was a particularly hot day and he didn't always help us find shade for some of the longer stories, hence 4 stars instead of 5. Luis was very knowledgeable and encourage an interactive tour.
