Lisbon Treasures - Diana was our tour guide and driver for our trip.
We arrived at Lisbon on March 6tt and departed for USA on March 10th.
She picked us up at the airport as promised, took us for a city tour after fee freshened up. Our last trip to Lisbon was a short day and a half visit. Diana showed us unbelievable points of interest along with its history. We never knew that before.
The next day was a memorable visit to Pena Palace in Sintra. On March 8th we visited Óbidos and Nazare. On March 9th she took us to a cork factory, a classic winery and caldas da Rainha and Évora.
So we went to Lisbon, the western part, about an hour North and an hour and a half south with unforgettable memories and impeccable guidance by Diana.
She took extra care in arranging vegetarian restaurants for us.
We are thinking of her as our family rather than a tour guide.

Great tour - My husband and I and our two kids (7 and 4) just returned from a tour to Pena Palace, Sintra, Cabo da Roca, and Cascais with Diana. It was wonderful! Diana provided a clean, well equipped van with a car seat and booster seat. She was an excellent guide and took time to explain the history and facts to the kids in a way they understood. Knowing we were coming with children she also built in playground time to our tour. She was knowledgeable and kind. This tour was a highlight of our trip! Thank you Diana for a wonderful experience that we will not soon forget.

Diana is the best! She KNOWS the area!!! - Diana was perfecto! She was patient with the kids, attentive, and full of information about the culture and history of the area. She even had towels and blankets in case our kids accidentally stepped too far into the water when walking in the beach (which of course they did!). She was patient on the road and avoided traffic with her expertise. The restaurant reservation she made was perfect. She was a joy to be with the entire day. She was easy to talk to, and you could tell she is passionate about her job. She knows everyone and was constantly saying hello to people she knew as we passed by them on the streets, in the cafes, or at the paces or tourist areas. Highly recommend!!!

Amazing full day trip!! - We had an amazing day with Diana from Ride for You Portugal! She was fantastic with our kids and made the entire experience unforgettable. We started our day at 8:30 AM and visited incredible spots like Pena Palace, Quinta da Regaleira, Cabo da Roca, Cascais, and Sintra. Diana even took us to one of the oldest bakeries in Sintra to try their famous pastries, which was a delightful treat. Throughout the trip, she shared fascinating stories about the history of Lisbon, Sintra, the Moorish Castle, and the Portuguese kings.Cabo da Roca was stunning.
Diana was very easy to work with and reasonably priced. She asked all the right questions about our itinerary during the planning stage to make sure everything was perfect. She also provided car seats for both of our kids, which was really helpful. My son had plenty of questions, and she patiently answered every single one. Her driving skills were impressive, especially on the narrow roads of Sintra, which isn’t an easy task. We loved our day trip with her and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Portugal!

Lisbon and Sintra in 2 days - Had two amazing days touring around with Diana Dias as our guide. We covered a lot of ground in Lisbon and the second day in Sintra ending in Caiscais. Diana has tons of knowledge and was very organized with her itinerary of events. A ver comfortable ride in her van set up so those in the far back could also hear her clearly. We could have never figured all this out on our own! Reasonably priced and she is delightful. Fit right in with our group of 6. We really missed her the next day when on our own.

The best way to see Portugal! - Diana and Ride for You are great! My wife and I just spent 3 full days touring Lisbon, Sintra, Obidos, Caiscais and wine tastings in the Lisbon area. Diana made it all easy and fun. Don’t miss an opportunity to see Portugal through the eyes of someone who loves it. Diana did it all from airport transfers to great lunch recommendations. She is so pleasant and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!!

The limit is your imagination. Diana will make a special experience crafted just for you. - I was in Lisbon for work and had limited time for sightseeing. Diana crafted tours around my schedule so I could show my family so much of Portugal in the available time. We used her for a total of four days. On the day we visited Sintra Diana covered so much information while deftly navigating the narrow streets of Sintra. She also took us to Cascais and also we visited other amazing places such as the westernmost point in Continental Europe.
Don't limit yourself to just the named tours. Contact Diana and she will do a custom tour for you. When I arrived in Lisbon we asked Diana to change the plans for our final day of touring to a completely different city (Evora). I was originally concerned that maybe Diana would not be as knowledgable about something which she didn't advertise. I was completely wrong. Her depth of knowledge was impressive, and with just a couple of days notice she convinced the owner of a cork factory to open up on a Sunday and explain to us the entire process from harvesting cork from trees to all of the amazing products you can produce. We felt very special for this personal treatment. It illustrates the attention to detail and flexibility of Diana.
