A Wonderful Day in Lisbon - We had a wonderful day with Lucia, our guide. She is enthusiastic and passionate about Lisbon. We learned a lot about the history of Lisbon and its various neighbourhoods. We saw all the major sites within and around the city, including Belem and Almada. I highly recommend this company.

Exceptional Service from Alex & Dimitry – A Truly Unforgettable Experience! - We had an incredible experience with Discover With Us (DWU) thanks to Alex and Dimitry. Due to a technical glitch, our same-day booking went through late, and all guides had already left. Alex personally picked us up with his wife, gave us a mini-tour on the way, and ensured we joined the group. Dimitry welcomed us warmly, sharing his deep knowledge with patience and enthusiasm. Traveling as a family of three, we truly appreciated their kindness. This exceptional service turned a potential disaster into an unforgettable memory. Highly recommend DWU, Alex, and Dimitry for an amazing Portugal tour!

Lisbon Tour - We were alone on this one! Lucia was our guide!!! She was Awesome again! We fully recommend Discover with us to anyone! Today we spent the day around Lisbon! We thought that it would be less walking and was the second longest of the three tours! I have pictures of the bridge from every angle which shows the ground we covered! Again Lucia was very knowledgeable as she was born and grown up here in Lisbon!!!

We even got to eat at the beach and see the surfers!!! - The tour was outstanding. Tours with this company are small group. I was encouraged to contact the hotel where I was staying to identify the ‘best’ company doing tours. I did that and found Discover with Us. It was such a tremendous day—guide (owner) was incredibly knowledgeable about Lisbon and Portugal and its history. While I had been on tours of Lisbon in the past, this was truly an in-depth experience of monuments, churchs and sight seeing places. We had lunch at a beach where we could see people both surfing and wearing their winter coats (January). I would recommend the company.
